In the group fitness world, New Year's resolutions means having full classes, lots of new and returning people when I teach, and regular exercisers who look forward to Feb when they can get "their" spot back. I have fun with the seasons of group ex! Kymberly

I do set goals for myself, but not all at once. I usually add some as the year goes by.

Oh, so sorry your "little" man is sick. Wow, you are dedicated! :) Definitely a bonus having land and not living in the burbs in this case. I never used to listen to music while running. Always loved being alone with my thoughts. Just recently I started using music but I still prefer to be alone with my head. :) I am big goal person. I set regular goals but not so much just a New Years' resolution person. Easier for me to set goals more frequently. :)

Hope your little guy is feeling beter.
I usually set resolutions and while I don't always achieve all of them, it definitely helps in making me more mindful of what I do and the choices I make.

I hope your little guy is feeling better! I can't believe you still managed 10 miles while cleaning up kid puke, I'm impressed. :)

Great tips on setting your new years resolutions. I am still trying to figure out mine.

2011-12-21T14:37:18.598-07:00

I usually set at least one goal every year. I try really hard to make it something challenging, yet achievable.

Sorry your (little) guy is sick! I hope he's on the mend soon!

I'm a big goal setter. I don't always achieve my goals on the timeline that I hope or quite the way that I want to, but I know that blogging about my objectives and the process helps me to make progress.

2011-12-21T12:31:49.569-07:00

I do a resolution or make a bunch of things I want to do, like try to learn another language or, as in this year, run my first marathon and run 2 other races. I completed that. As for this year, I may have lose weight as a goal or something lame like that.

2011-12-21T12:19:35.899-07:00

I usually am a resolution setter. This year was to worry less and laugh more. I think I did pretty good at it! I have to start thinking about my 2012 resolutions. These are awesome tips for setting goals...I would add to write it down and put it somewhere you see every day. No more out of sight out of mind!

I hope you "big" boy is feeling better today!

i'm not really a resolution setter, but i really want to cut out the sugar this year. perhaps i will do it!!

I was viewing the two and my brain automatically threw it together, "I will never give up frosted cupcakes". LOL.

I just wrote a post on the same - resolutions - but instead on totally focusing on the list, I thought it great to just focus on 3 words that inspire my new year. Would love to hear your 3 words!

2011-12-21T10:03:15.534-07:00

Oh I hope your "big" guy is feeling better :) Very impressive that you still got 10 miles in! I love this post, I actually found the stats to be stronger than I would've thought…but then it is interesting to learn that attaining them doesn't make us happier…hmmm. I like to set goals and am thinking of using my blog as a way of sharing them and keeping me accountable. We'll see….

2011-12-21T09:47:34.553-07:00

I think it's interesting about the happiness factor after a year.

I do make resolutions and I normally keep them. I wasn't that way though until I started running. Makes me more disciplined.

Hope the little guy is feeling better. I know how those close to home runs go when the kiddos arent feeling well.

2011-12-21T09:41:35.286-07:00

Those are wonderful tips Christy. Thank you for sharing. I like to just think of them as goals and not necessarily "resolutions". Goals seem so much more attainable.

Great job at getting the workout in while your little one was sick.

2011-12-21T08:19:33.666-07:00

Last year I made only one goal. It was to run a marathon in honor of my father. I had never actually completed a goal I set out for at New Years before! I am proud to say, I went from a struggling 5k-er to a marathoner in 9 months! I say, less is more with resolutions. One attainable goal really worked for me! and when I completed it, I made a new one...

hmmmm I haven't thought about mine. but I will and I will most definitely have one :D

2011-12-21T08:16:11.746-07:00

I don't make resolutions. Maybe because I make goals throughout the year, I don't know.

2011-12-21T06:45:50.289-07:00

Huh. Interesting.
I haven't done resolutions in years, but now that I read this, maybe I should do some. And write them down.
huh.
Good post!!

2011-12-21T06:25:47.467-07:00

My little guy (11 mo) was sick last week too. Breaks my heart. And I was in the same predicament as you - plus, I felt like I didn't want to leave his side =(
I usually don't do new years resolutions. I feel that if I don't have the desire to do something now, then I'm not going to when Jan 1st rolls around, so why force or push myself to do something that I will likely end up not doing? I am always setting goals for myself though - so I guess those could be resolutions?

I generally don't do resolutions. Once, though...

2011-12-21T06:10:05.984-07:00

I generally don't do resolutions. Once, though, I did join the gym in January. Does that count?

I used to hate running without music, too. But lately, I like going without.

Aww, hope your little one is feeling better. I set...

2011-12-21T05:39:26.612-07:00

Aww, hope your little one is feeling better.
I set goals, I tend to not call them resolutions just because it seems like so many make those and immediately forget them, lol.

2011-12-21T05:38:37.171-07:00

love this, I was actually thinking of doing a post soon about resolutionists and sticking to your goals. I don't set resolutions per se, more just goals and I like to keep it an "all of the year" thing. I stick to goals much better if I make small and big goals throughout the entire year.
