Resolutions/goals for 2023?

[Remarkableriots]

1. Exercising every day this year for at least 1 hr 

2. Go on my first date in probably 10 years. (The last two were disasters)

3. Try to be more patient

Trying to get healthier mentally and physically. Eating better, therapy, and reading will be sustained throughout the year.

Work on my mental/physical health. Down 40lbs from last year and would like to do the same again this year. Love to get back into reading and movie watching, which has been very little for 2+ years. Might be part of that mental health I need for relaxing. Plus I wanna start a game , fucking finish them and not take a break cause I get frustrated with it.

[SuperSpreader]

Get my 2 mil

[SoberChef]

Considering I quit smoking 3 months ago after 30 years AND I love just about 40 lbs this past year, not really sure what my intentions for the coming year are quite yet.

Yep, not even going to bother trying for 8k probably for another two years. This time pc gpus will be ready for it unlike last time but instead it’s the tvs themselves that are still just beyond normal consumer levels of $$$ for anything decent at 8k. That’s probably also when I finally move from 65” to 77” or something.

1. Wife wanted to give up sugar, so I’ve said I’ll support that.

2. Aim to complete one ‘job’ at home every day. Whether that’s gardening, DIY, taking something to be recycled.

3. Play at least 10 open mics 

4. Make sure the house is clean (clothes washed and dried, dishes cleaned, toys tidied away) before I leave for work.

 

I feel like they’re achievable to go along with my usual goals of being fit and healthy - easier now with no dessert! 

Edit: I edited my last one as I’m the kind of guy who puts the dishwasher on at night.

 

I might throw in a childish one and aim to beat 12 games this year. I did more reading last year and it’s a habit now, so it would be nice to actually enjoy another of my hobbies…

What would be involved giving up on sugar? Seems like you would need to make your own food. Would have to cut out all fruit because they have sugar. 

 

I've tried lowering my intake of sugar as much as possible and limiting myself to an occasional dessert that has sugar.

 

That's a good list!

O should say ‘added sugar’ so fruit is OK being natural, same for honey. We make all our food anyway so that’s not tricky. It’s mainly a way to prevent sweets and chocolate being a thing.

I get some of the sugar free chocolate and other snacks like yogurt zero sugar.

Just emulate me.

 

quiet quit. They get the bare minimum from me and only what the law says I’m required to do.

That’s pretty much where I am these days. I’m not going to practice in an unsafe manner, but I don’t feel like being super nurse most of the time. 

[thewhyteboar]

I resolved to write more. I'm not good at it, but it's a muscle or skill like any other and practice will make me better. So, I decided that for every movie I watch I'll write something, even if it isn't very long.

[Ominous]

I'm going to try and workout more. The only problem with that is that the gym is crazy busy for the next week or two from all the people that are doing the same thing.

Not unsafe, just not above and beyond anymore. 

[TheLeon]

I want to travel more. I don’t have much of a budget for it, but I’m also not very picky, so wherever I can get a cheap flight and hotel for a few days works for me. 

[Mr.Vic20]

* Take my son sledding as much as possible this Winter

This was mine as well. Luckily I got an offer at year end. I accepted it. Leaving my company after 15 years. Got a big raise and hopefully a better work/life balance. 

[Jason]

This is the reason I keep my workout to running and weight/cardo activities where I can use a personal set of free weights and a bench. Having to go to a public gym to workout is just the extra detraction I need to end up skipping workouts and then ultimately dropping out of my fitness routine all together.

Yea, I tend to run outside, but I do like to use a few different machines or hit the treadmill if it's cold and raining.

That's what happened to me. Before when I lost the weight, I lived in an apartment that had a gym. That wasn't hard because I could walk there in 5 minutes. Unfortunately, I hurt my ankle badly, and it interrupted my routine. I gained weight while healing up, which took forever.

The reason it took so long was because I couldn't miss work, and going to work required walking, which I limped to, and standing a lot at the convenience store.

I moved to two other apartments without a gym, and that didn't help. So I stopped working out. The more weight I gained, the less I felt comfortable working out around other people.

[TheLeon]

I got pretty lucky with my gym. It’s small, but it’s hidden away inside a parking garage, which might be the reason it’s never busy. And I chose this one because it’s barely out of the way from my work commute. If I had to travel like two more minutes to get to a gym, I would never go. 

[Nokra]

I think for 2023 I would like to (in no particular order):

• Practice my German more frequently.
• Go running more regularly.
• Eat a bit healthier (I go out to eat too often). 
• Read more books.
• Get back into meditation.

[AlwaysDyingX]

No.

[SmugPrick]

I want to build a house with my own hands.

I like having my own shit. Have basically a full gym that takes up half the garage. Ill take that over dealing with the absolute idiots. Ive spent 20 years going to gyms and I just cant deal with the idiots anymore. Machine campers, treadmill walkers that go for 90 minutes, people that have their  heads buried in their phones as they walk and expect me to move for them, the try hards, etc. I couldnt fathom going to a gym in 2023 with the amount of people that record their workouts by setting up tripods at every bench, machine or rack. Nor do I care to see every chick wearing pants that go up the crack of their asshole and get pissed if you accidentally stare down at them.  The gym isnt the gym anymore. The camaraderie is gone and its full of "influencers" 

[Biggie]

Ok so my resolution is to find these gym chicks who wear pants up the cracks of their assholes.

Honestly, I super missed the space of the gym during lockdown. Had access to a fully loaded private gym but as soon as the gyms were open I was back. It’s why I refuse to create a home gym.
