Well people, the New Year is coming, and as is traditiion we make idiotic promises to ourselves, and to others.

Well, my girls bought me a banjo for Chrissy. I've been harping on about how I want to play the banjo for 200 years. They bought me a 5 string. Now I have no choice. I have to learn how to play it in 2012. If I don't, they will be really hacked off come next Christmas.

I have also promised to drop 40kg (yes, I'm a big fat Alan at the moment), and..... that's all.

I stopped smoking last year (last years promise), so that's one for me.

Anyway, what have you achieved and what do you promise yourself and others for the coming year.

Peace.

I already lift 3 times a week at the gym, but I will add in post lifting hiit cardio and abdominal workouts.

And because 6 packs are made in the kitchen, I will watch my diet. Eat more veggies and less junk food, i.e. cookies/candy. But starting January 1st of course. Time to go back to laying in bed while enjoying these chocolate cream Oreos.

Thank you bros.

Jyang and Rahulo, Some good goals. I hope you fulfill these resolutions and grow.

I too, even in my fading years, would like to see the 6 pack once again, but , more importantly, just a healthier lifestyle.

Peace Brothers.

May you achieve what you desire.

I'm going to stop ordering from iherb every week. I've been spending way too much money there. I'm also going to start going to a gym twice a week with my husband, even though gyms here gross me out. I've got just under 4 kg to lose until I fit into my size 0 jeans. It was 3, but then the holidays happened Embarassed

All in all, no big resolutions this year. I'm quite happy with my life in general.

Can you explain to me how a size zero works? Women thinner than you would need to wear size -1 or -2? Is it just some marketing gimmick for women overly concerned with their weight?

It's a size. It's on par with a 24-26 waist in European jeans. Thinner ladies would need to wear a junior's size 14. Does that clarify it some?

6-pack abs by spring. Should be easy.

My only recent goal was to lose some belly fat and strengthen up. Already half way there and it's not even 2012 yet. Here's to a barrel full of willpower for the new year!
