I really never make New Years Resolutions, just because they are always broken by most people within 6 weeks or so. I see LOTS of new faces every Jan 1st at the gym and they are almost all(90+ % of them) gone by the 1st of March.
So that is where I will start.
1st resolution of 2008--- try and be more tolerant of the newbies at the gym.
I have to remind myself that I was a newbie once, too. It might have been in 1989, but I was still a newbie...:laughing:
I shouldn't get pissed when someone steals the bench I was using because I went to re-fill my water bottle. I'll try harder not to laugh or grin when someone thinks because they are bigger than me that they can lift as much weight as I can. I'm 5'9", 185 lbs and I can bench press 225 18 times and I max out at 285 lbs.
2nd resolution of 2008---get 315 lbs up on the bench press. thats 3 plates a side if you are scoring at home.
To do that, I will need to just focus on the bench press for a while, which will mean less cardio and more squats, lunges and heavy lifting. I'm going to give myself until March 1st to get it done--and then I'm going to retire from lifting "heavy". I'm 43 yrs old and in the best shape of my life, but I want to concentrate in 2008 on running a marathon in under 4 hours.
3rd resolution of 2008--run a marathon in under 4 hours.
Did one in 2006 in 4 hrs, 22 minutes and think I can get under 4 in our local marathon in Sept, 2008--but I will have to forgo some lifting time in order to put in the miles on the treadmill/outside to get to this goal. And anyone who lifts regularly can tell you this: its a bitch dealing with the nagging aches and pains that come with lifting heavy--leading to(at least for me) to not getting in all the cardio it will take for me to run under 4 hours in the marathon in Sept.
I'll always lift--nothing beats the feeling of pumping iron--I'm addicted to it, no doubt about it--but it will be just enough to keep up my body tone--and you don't have to go heavy to do that--lots of reps with a decent amount of weight will keep me looking buff--and help in my goal of running a marathon in under 4 hours in 2008.

I've been smokefree now for 15 months and counting....it's possible bro...just gotta get through that first month or two...and those nicoderm patches do work...helped me a lot...i was on them for 6 weeks...
As far as my resolution.....just enjoy life a little more......and enjoy it with close friends and family that really matter....don't let other **** like issues at work, gambling, or any other of the non-important things in life be the cause of another 'bad' day this year...just enjoy life and live it to fullest....(hope that made sense),...Comment

BookieKilla, one thing I am afraid of with those patches is the dreams. I am telling you, that I have several friends that have gone to the patch and have told me that if they leave it on while sleeping, that they will have the most vivid dreams ever. I literally someone will be trying to kill them, and it will all seem so real. This is from like 3-4 people too.
Other than that, I have been late every day for work (with the exception of like 4 months) for longer than I can remember. It has almost cost me my job several times, but I'm always finishing up the picks for the day, or checking lines, etc. before I go to work. Resolution for me is to finally go to work on time again!
GL with your resolutions guys. I would try to quit smoking, but I tried this cheap gum and it tasted disgusting and it tingled in my mouth the entire time, so disgusting. and I don't want those dreams with the patch, my dreams are already bad enough.2023

When you lift, do you like to scream so everyone can see how ripped you are? Just messin with ya man, really good to see that although slow, & dangerous behind the wheel, senior citizens can still serve a purpose.:thumbs:Champagne for my real friends, real pain for my sham friends...Comment

:laughing:
I know you wuz fukin around, dude...I read all your threads over in the forums and you give as good as you take.
Senior citizen, eh? You must still be way south of 30 to think that I'm old at 43...:beer2:
Nope, I HATE those dudes that scream when they lift. I do tend to grunt a bit too loud sometimes and usually get a bunch of ****te from the screamers, of all people...
Happy New Year and hope you are winning some bets today...I'm getting my a$$ handed to me....:bang:Comment
