My goal is to fail at my 2019 resolutions faster than I did my 2018 resolutions.

Just start with and think about your successes and ignore your failures. For example, I got that perennial #1 fitness thing in the bag years ago. But that "save more money" thing continues to allude me despite my best efforts. I won't bother putting that one on the list this time.

Not a fan of resolutions because if it's worth resolving to do, start today. Having said that, I want to lose 50#, or maybe 5#. Haven't decided for sure yet.

90% of people who decide to get a gym membership never achieve their fitness goals, because they don't have enough self-discipline and inner drive to continue doing it long term. Most people who join a gym with hopes of loosing weight end up wasting their time on a treadmill and doing all kinds of silly stuff instead of doing something that actually works.....Fitness, health and weightloss can be easily achieved without gym membership.

Worked with a gentleman a few years back, he always set a resolution at New Years of doing less the coming year then he did the past!!!.... He was around four hundred pounds when I retired. He met his goals every year I was around.

Well it might interest you to know that getting more exercise made the # 1 spot for 2019, so it still an important goal for many. As for me, I made that resolve at 14 when I noticed my dad's beer belly while watching the boob tube. I vowed to never let that happen to me. Now if I can just conquer the save more money thing... ?

...and No.2 was loosing weight...I think that's why people start exercising in the first place, is because they're hoping to loose weight...People who start to exercise only" for fun" don't last very long, there needs to be a deeper purpose as to why a person chooses to workout or exercise....It's not easy to stay motivated unless you have something inside you that keeps driving you and motivating you to do it or else you'll fall by the wayside...Sadly 90% of these fitness/nutrition resolutions only last for a few weeks or months.

That being said, I'd like to ride at least twice a week and make it a regular habit. I also hope to ride at least one 40 mile group ride and come out feeling strong enough to shoot for a 50 or 60 mile ride. My long term goal is to do a century in someplace far far away from home.
On the eating front, I'd like to get back in the habit of cooking my own meals. My OCD kicks in and calorie counting is much easier. It all really comes down to replacing the impulse to eat with something else, and for me that's either playing music or getting out doors.

My 2018 cycling goal was about miles. At the end I was riding only to get miles on. Maybe 2019 will be the year I focus on increased power, speed, and climbing instead. Having trouble with how to measure my progress, though.

Do more sports in general, not only cycling, also try to start a bit with running and swimming.
Because I want to walk the 'Dodentocht' (translated as: the walk of death), to walk 100 km in a time range of 24 hours.
It's not a competition, just the purpose to be able to finalize the round.
Therefore I need to built up a little bit more condition.

My resolution is to make "Unyerlf" ("On Your left") a new single word in the Webster's Dictionary.

My NY resolution is L.S.D. Live Simple Daily
On Jan.4 I'm retiring from my job. 48 years working for the regional blood center in Austin,
2019 is going to be the most amazing year of my life since I can't remember.
I'm so blessed and excited.
