2010 New Year’s Resolutions

Okay,

I’ve dicked around all of 2009. This year I’m going to take things a little more seriously. Here are this year’s resolutions… marked with a pass or fail.

New Year’s Resolutions 2009

1. Keep the weight I’ve gained FAILED
My goal was to gain 10 pounds this year, bringing me from 135 to 145. I gained 20 pounds this year. I weigh 155 lbs. Adding weight is not necessary but welcome for 2009. The main goal is to KEEP WHAT I’VE GAINED. Limit 185 lbs – 195 lbs.

2. Stay in school, and OUT of the Army SUCCESS
There’s a lot of different people involved in this. I can do everything right within my power and still fail this one. So let’s hope that the stars are in my favor and I succeed in this goal.

3. Focus on hair regrowth FAILED
I’ll begin this year’s self improvement with my hair. It’s been slowly going away and I wont stand for that anymore. Hopefully this is a quick fix, but if not, I’m in it for the long, hard war. Guess I’ll get some Rogaine now…

4. Get over Nicki by the end of 2009 FAILED
Get her out of my head. Get her picture out of my wallet. Stop living in the past. Stop wondering if she ever cared. I hope I can accomplish at least a little bit of this before 2009 ends.

5. Regain self confidence FAILED and SUCCESS
It’s practically gone. But with work, I can have it back. I want to be able to go to a public beach and swim in just my swimming trunks, without feeling self-concious. I want a more positive self-image. I want to be able to talk to girls. Dealing with #4 (see above) will probably help this.

Now let’s get down to the resolutions for 2010…

New Year’s Resolutions 2010

1. Regain weight back to 155 pounds and keep it.
I slacked off. And as soon as I quit working out, my weight began to fall off like it never existed. So I need to get all of the weight back. And keep it. Bonus points if I can gain more weight.

2. Workout at least 6 days a week for 30 full minutes. Take your protein shakes twice a day.
This is how I gained weight the first time around. It’s just a good habbit to get into.

3. Get a tan and maintain it.
This will help me build self-esteem.

4. Reduce or eliminate all soda consumption.
Soda, as much as I love it, is completely bad for me. I need to get off of it. This goal is going to be damn near impossible for me.

5. No more alcohol. Ever.
Pointless. Stupid. Waste of money. It only makes me think of Nicki.

6. Get over Nicki.
Or she will destroy me. It’s been over 2 years now since I’ve seen her. I need to let her go.

7. Graduate.
I’m so close. I graduate in July with my Bachelor’s. But it will get harder.

8. Get a job. Stay out of the Army.
Find a job related to my degree. Pray that the Army wont call me up. I get out of the Inactive Reserve in July as well. So July will be a great month for me.

9. Get a place of my own.
I’m getting extremely tired of room mates. I want a place of my own after I graduate and hopefully get a job. I need space.

10. Speak only when necessary or useful.
I feel that I talk too much around people and that I need to lessen how much I say. I think this one I will start slow with strangers, acquaintances, and work my way up.
EXCEPTIONS: I will talk to myself as much as I want (Keeps me sane and from getting lonely). I will chat online as much as I want. I will write whatever I want in my blog.

It’s a lot. Wish me luck.
