New Years Resolutions!

Ok! This topic is full of danger!

What is your New Years Resolution?

I don't know what it is, but I will accomplish something worthwhile this year!

Jeff

I resolve to finish my Masters thesis and graduate!

Wow! What a noble pursuit! Go get it!

Never finished mine. But I was never that close! LOL

Jeffrey

Openhanded: good for you. I luckily finished and graduated a year ago. Two weeks before I was diagnosed.

I don't think I have one. I just want to take more risks and live life to the fullest. I am hoping to move to AZ next year to be close to friends and family, get a new job and maybe buy a new car.

Wow working on your masters! I am impressed. Not sure what my new years resolution will be I don't try to make them.


But thanks for reminding me that I have to take some kind of course this year. I didn't take one last year I should be taking at least 1 a year to keep my Registration up!

Mine is to watch the entire Walking Dead marathon!

No, just kidding. I want to start doing some light exercise and try to strengthen these muscles. My problem is being consistent, and the resolution is to force myself!

Mine is like Sandi's, about exercise. I want to stick with my DDP Yoga workouts, at least 3x/week and hopefully 5x, and move on from the Energy workout to one of the more advanced (well, medium) ones.

DDP Yoga is Diamond Dallas Page (former professional wrestler) version of yoga. It is used to rehab athletes as well as really extremely out of shape people, and it is yoga without the woo-woo and with a little extra cardio. Lots of modifications. I love it! And my parts that hurt (back, shoulders) feel better not worse when I do the workouts.

Erica,

Yoga has been part of my training routine for 5 years now. It does help with the pain just like you said. And the balance routines are very important. I use the P90X yoga routine about 2X a week.

Sandi, Julia, did you two hear Erica????

Thank you Erica!

Jeff

Nope Jeffrey I did not "hear" her at all. This is an internet forum it is impossible for me to hear what she types unless I use one of those programs that reads allow what is typed.


I did read however what she said!

To relax a little more. Not to live in constant fear, when you are in constant fear, you aren't really living and that isn't fair to myself, nor my family. Having a little guy with ITP I need to be cautious but I need to learn not to let ITP rule our lives. Panic when there (if there) is a need too, if there is no need to panic, why am I always living in panic? Yup..2014 is going to be our year! I am going to try to relax, try to let my guard down a little, and Bryan is going to continue to improve...

Go Crystal! Less panic has to be a good thing
My aim for 2014 is to be more active, in mind and body - specifically, I aim to get out on my bike more often and do enough study to pass my AS level maths in the summer (I'm trying to prove something to my sons here!)

I'm up for trying anything as long as it's easy. I don't know where to find that particular type of work-out though.

My foot fractures still have not fully healed and with all of the other damage to my body, I'm limited to light stretching for now. The last time I tried an easy Yoga video work out, I only got through 10 minutes.

How many people kept all their New Year Resolutions made for 2013?

Thanks a lot, GF! I had the same resolution last year and did not follow through. However, since things have gotten so much worse, I really do need to do this since I'm getting very limited.

I did ok. I worked hard and played hard. I am work in progress though!

Just keep trying! Yoga is tough, real tough! Keep at it!

Jeff

I've been doing the same DDP Yoga workout for a few months now, but recently I'm trying to do it without modification - mainly there are a few moves done from a lunge position that I did on one knee instead. Now I'm building up to doing the lunge. Omg it is so much harder.
Erica

My new years resolution for 2013 was to get engaged (I know, not so much of a resolution, but a hope), and my (now) fiance proposed to me back in February.

DDP yoga sounds really interesting though. I used to be really intersted in wrestling when I was a child, and I remember DDP. He was one of my favorites, haha. I'm really interested in this now. I'll definitely be looking it up.

I just looked it up. No way.

Sandi & Jeff I just asked because I don't :ohmy: - also growing up I thought I'd go to hell because I couldn't give up anything for Lent & stick to it [although I did put my pennies in the alms box we took home when Lent started].

So my motto is - no New Years Resolutions :whistle:

My New years resolution is to try not to be the pot.



Following the old saying . . . "talk about the pot calling the kettle black".


Instead of commenting on or pointing out other's mistakes I will focus on correcting mine. I am big on saying how I dislike people who claim they are Christian but only act like it on Sunday morning between 11-12.

Melinda,

I always give something up for lent. I give up my New Years Resolutions! Feel free to use that one if you need to!

Jeff

Winnifred,

"My New years resolution is to try not to be the pot."

I am thinking of going to Colorado and trying the pot!

Jeff (hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I really liked that one!)
Hey Jack! Road trip???

Jeffrey,

You crack me up. My parents live in New Mexico and I am currently visiting. We have been joking all week about driving the three hours to Colorado.

Winifred,
I like your resolution of no resolution.

As for me, I don't really have a resolution. I want to continue to learn and be a better person. My hopes are to move to arizona, get a teaching job there and possibly buy a car. Getting engaged would also be nice as well. One can hope right?

I was diagnosed with itp December 28, 2013. My hope was not to spontaneously bleed to death (this was before I knew what I knew now) I'm mentally in a much better place and hope to continue in a positive place.

Geeze thanks Jeff but then what would I do with the guilt the nuns pounded into my head growing up


(I live in Colorado - don't even get me started....................... :evil: )

Melinda - you are right - I never follow up on mine either.

I wanted some light leg weights two years ago. My daughter bought them for me for Christmas. The box has never been opened. It's actually very, very dusty. But! I am going to try again to make it happen.

Julia - I just said something like that yesterday. Yours is a great resolution!

Not sure if it is the wine or the fact that I've had no sleep but could sworn Sandi said! I wanted some light legs two years ago my daughter bought the for me for Christmas! hehehe



Follow follow follow!

Light legs would work too!
