JFF - How Many of You Have Kept Your New Year's Resolution So Far?

I have kept mine, and plan to keep keeping it. I just wanted to live a healthier life style, and I am doing so one day at a time.

mine weren't real resolutions, but things i started at the end of last year and "resolved" to keep doing...so yes...i'm still sticking with them :)

Great so far - because this is the first year I have not made any...not one...

Just loving life every day I'm here live it.

Been doing the best I can ........... I've been eating healthier AND i have been putting all my spare change in a cup :)

I made a resolution years ago to never make another resolution.
I've been keeping it very well ever since.

What's a "New Year's Resolution?"
I don't make those
haha

Yep. Didn't gain a single pound through the holidays and am continuing my swimming almost every day of the week.

Ask again in a month or two...THAT'S the real test.

I did! I haven't had any meat and don't want any! (: I've been doing great!

so far yes. but seeing as my New Year's Resolution is no hospital stays or ER visits for myself, going 10 days into the year isn't much indication of how successful i'll be the rest of the year...LOL. Seriously though, that is my resolution. I have had at least one hospitilization each year the past 3 years and countless ER visits. SO, I am bound and determined to go the whole year staying away from hospitals.

still on a diet so yes :)

I have. I told myself that I was not going to continue the effort to continue a friendship that was almost 100% maintained by me. It hurts like heck, but like a band-aid being tore off, I know the pain will fade.

So far so good.

I am driving a car that gets better gas mileage.
I have paid off the credit cards and am not using them for trivial things.
I have sent my sister a card just to say hi. I don't see her but maybe once a year, and we hardly ever talk. We're both just too busy with life.
Today we write thank you cards for the Christmas and birthday gifts.

Have I magically changed all bad things in my life into sunshine and roses? No. But a resolution is a PROCESS and there my be little speed bumps or loops on the way, but yes I'm on the path to tweaking and changing some things in my life for the better.
You may roll your eyes at this, but I'm a TOTAL nerd and love words. The dictionary defines "resolution" as the act or process of resolving, as (a) analyzing a complex notion into simpler ones, (b) act of answering, solving, (c) act of determining. "Resolve" is defined (among many things) as 2 (b) to reduce by analysis (resolve the problem into simple steps or elements), 5 to reach a firm decision about, 6 to declare or decide, formally. That said, failing to do something for a day or a week doesn't mean that you've lost your resolve (formal decision vs vague idea). It just means you need to get back on track or reevaluate your steps.
What I'm happy about so far; I resolved to grow spiritually and put first things first (Most mornings I have quiet time to pray and do a personal devotional before anyone wakes up, and we have daily devotional, and I volunteered to help with the toddlers at church once a month), lose weight (1.5 lbs since Jan 1), get in better shape, tweak our financial stuff (more saving, less spending, better tracking), to get more organized, to stop cursing, I cleaned out our file cabinet, put in all new files and organized and arranged things MY way (before it was pretty haphazard, put together by my husband), we've made a few changes in our finances (how we spend, how we track, how we pay bills, how we donate, our new savings goals, etc), been purposely making better decisions (MOST times) in our meal choices and have been more family oriented with our fitness goals (instead of doing stuff alone, or hoping to, we've focused more on active family fun----walking the dog with the children in the morning, walking the dog and taking a 3 mile walk in the evenings, husband and I joined a shuai chiao class together while adding a sparring class to my son's kung fu, etc). We have both rearranged or focused more on what our priorities are. Some of it we haven't done much with yet, some I'm seeing great strides (I cleaned out the guest closet, V's closet, J's closet, and SOME of mine, I still need to join a fitness center for when the weather is yucky, and for an indoor lap pool).
But yeah: even if you feel like life is great, it's not a bad thing to check your progress, give kudos or rewards for success, take stock in how things are going and see if you want to change something. Life changes, people change, so priorities and projects change too. Resolutions aren't bad things. Good luck, stick with it!

Ehh... didn't make a new year's resolution. I did decide just before Christmas (mid-December) that I wanted to try to start running for health/exercise. Then I promptly fell ice-skating the next day and banged up my knee. Nothing damaged, just bruising, per the doctor. But I did have to take it easy, take advil, and ice it for a week or two. We also had a lot of people coming and going throughout the entire holiday (right through New Year's Day), so I didn't have time to do anything anyway.
I went the day after Christmas and bought running shoes, but didn't even think about trying them out while we had company and my knee was still feeling a bit weak here and there.
New Year's Day just happened to be the first day I felt up to it (knee) and had no company (they left that morning)... so I went for my first run that day. I am still at it. Ran today for 12 1/2 minutes of my 2 mile route. An over 100% increase over what I was able to run on NY's Day. :) Loving it.
