I have thousands of resolutions... a few of them follows:

- Learning Spanish by my own (not that difficult, it's very simillar to my mother tongue);
- Stop drinking so much coffe (5 cups will be my limit);
- Lose weight (I'm 65kg now, I'd like to be 63 kg. I know, too heavy for a lady, but I'm 1.73 cm - when I was weighing less than 63, people at the office started to ask if I was going anorexic).

Hey ClarissaMach,
how much cups do you drink at the present, if 5 cups are your target?

Greetings,
LeBron

[ClarissaMach]

I'm not sure, but I drink about 15 cups a day.

Once I made a kind of test to take note about how much coffe I would drink along an entire day, and I found out that I was drinking almost one liter a day (900ml to be more accurate).

Sounds incredible?

Think of a person who

- drinks coffee before leaving home, at breakfast (2 cups usually);

- that by the time she gets to the office, drinks around 3 or 4 cups just in the morning;

- that drinks another cup right after lunch;

- that drinks other 3 or 4 cups along the afternoon;

- and that by the time she gets home drinks another cup right before going to bed? (yes, for coffee no longer affects my sleep...).

If for some reason I do not take coffee at all along a day (recently it happend: I left home to early in the morning, without taking breakfeast, and went to a place where there was no coffee), I get terrible headaches...

Wooow 15!!! I guessed about 8-9......but 15 damn...so much.
No I understand that you set a limit by yourself

In my case I mostly have a hard start into the day, if I drink no coffee in the morning. During the day (at school and even at work) I don't need badly coffee. But if I come home again I fall in tiredness if I don't drink at least 1-2 cups.

I guess you drink black coffee. Maybe you could stretch it with some milk?! In this way maybe it would be easier for you to drink less coffee, but the same number of cups nevertheless. Maybe a good physical effect

[ClarissaMach]

Well, pouring a little bit of milk might do some good... but to tell you the truth, I don't like drinking milk...

Spend more time with my parents.(I am going to the college and at that time I will leave them.)

Prepare for the college extrance exam.(It is really a boring thing,but I have to!)

Lose some weight.(I am so fat and short that I cannot buy the clothes which I want very much.)

Do more exercise and build my body.(Poor health has almost driven me crazy!)

[Tone]

Push up 100 times is not crazy......Actually, I will divide them into 25 times per set for the toal of 4 sets so it should be ok....

Now... can't even do 2 sets...
