So 2011 is coming to an end, which means January 1st 2012 is a fresh start for all of us who made new year resolutions 12 months ago, but in the end didn't go through with it or gave up (probably most of us).
I did follow through with most of my new year resolutions I made for this year, so I'm pleased with that. In 2012 I plan to build muscle, start at TAFE and spend more time with my family. Nice and simple. So what about you? Did you follow through with the resolutions you made for this year and what are your plans for 2012? Let's here 'em... |

Get cracking on my automotive course, try to get an apprenticeship.
Hope to god that 2012 is better than what 2011 has been... I'll be happy to see the backside of 2011...

I seem to never get around to meeting my resolutions.
This year: Gert more certs. Get some more time for photography. Get into car detailing so much more ... and learn technique correctly. More family time and less work time.

Same as this year; staying the course. Life may deal out some doozies, but staying strong with what you want is all you can hope for in our finite lives.

Failed miserably for this year. 2012's resolution will be;
1. Quit smoking 2. Save up enough for my eye surgery.

drop 10kg by the end of Jan, from where I am now. That way I have a head start
Also, I want to save more $$$ I exceeded my savings goal for last year, so that gives me a bit of confidence... and then, drink less beer, and brew my own beer. I might think about donating twice as much to charity in 2012. That would be a nice thing to do. |

I'm with you though, I gave up making New Years resolutions and just live each day as it comes. I have worked out over the years that Murphy is obviously a close relative and whenever I make any kind of plans he usually takes part and throws a spanner in the works  Happy New Year to all anyway and best of luck with all your resolutions

I actually had none that I'd definitively stated (besides, finish uni), 2012 holds:
1. Commit to my grad job and impress the socks off my boss so I have the opportunity of 6 months in scotland... 2. Actually get back into being a proper Girl Guide Leader again 3. Try to fit into some of my old clothes (the sedentary lifestyle took it's toll on me this year) 4. Save a bit, and try to grow my little side business a bit better. 5. Watch all of Xena and Hercules, then write a dissertation on what it means to society today.
