Real ones please!

I have to get organized. I have a crazy busy schedule and I'm going to start writing down my day on a clip board. It works for me.

Start running again. I plan on doing a 5k run in the spring for charity.

Hit the Dojo alot more. I am down to a few times a month and I plan on competing so I must go 4 or 5 times a week.

Organize my photos

Do alot more with my kids.

Hellooooooooooooooo?

Get off the Coke . . . as in Coca-Cola. It's so bad for you, especially the bone risk caused by the phosphorus.

But I just fucking love it! Loove loove loove it. Having something sweet? Drink a Coke. Salty? Drink a Coke. Queasy or hung over? Drink a Coke. Headache? Drink a Coke. I'm drinking one right now! [:0]

After New Year's Day I'm going cold turkey and switching to iced tea or seltzer.

Thank you! I can't stand a dead thread! (even if you all ignored my adult swim thread! Design I'm ashamed!!)

OK, Philly, I'll give you another one.

I need to get some new friends. No, that is not a reference to anything that has been happening on the board.[:D]

I have a lot of dear friends but they're scattered across the country or at the really annoying stage of breeding where all they can talk about is diaper contents and they won't leave the house.

Lately I've realized that those I seem to see the most often, my neighborhood friends, are a bunch of spoiled beeyatches. To paraphase the Winona Ryder character in "Heathers," it's like we're co-workers and our job is drinking cocktails and throwing baby showers and shit.

It's damn hard to make new friends at 40!

Maybe it's that phosphoric acid breath of your's. [:D]

Seriously, I need to break the Coke spell as well. It's also just been linked to a quadruple increase in the incidence of esophageal cancer. I can do it 'cause I'm not addicted or anything. It's not like I [i]need[/i] it or something. I can quit any time I want. Really. Oh sweet sweet kola nut, how the phosphorous awakens your pungent charms...

geez, I hear ya! I'm in the same boat. My friends live all over the place...my best friend lives in Portland...and many of my friends here are also "breeding", as you put it. That's OK, I bear them no ill regard, but for a while, I'll hang back while they hang diapers...sigh...

OH NOOOOOOOOO![:0] But for me, it's Pepsi. I call it my one vice. I adore the stuff.
However, in my case, I have no plans to quit. I don't care if it's that bad. Luckily for me, I don't drink that much Pepsi...usually a 12 oz. can once a day or once every 2 days. I've cut way back, but that's as far as I will go.
I wish you much luck in your Coke-less New Year. I am here for you. Here, have a Pepsi...[:o)]

I'm billing my resolutions as lifestyle changes [;)]

The Mr. and I are joining the gym that was just built nearby. I dropped a lot of weight in 2005, and I've been able to maintain that, but I need to lose some more and then I need to tone up whatever has been hiding under the flab.

My vices are red meat and Diet Dr Pepper. The red meat I'm going to try to limit to once or twice a month. The Diet Dr Pepper thing is going to be hard. I drink amazing and scary amounts of that stuff, and I know it has to be extremely bad for me.

And, last, I'm going to start doing things for me. I feel like a mama duck with all her ducklings waddling behind her. They're old enough now that I'm going to go do "me things" without them.

Good for you. I hope you succeed.

My New Years Resolution is to stop drinking ANYTHING that has HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYROP in it. Coke, Pepsi, juices.

lol!!! I saw both this thread and the adult swim one at work and I went home and forgot to reply to them [:D].

(Hey, you'll appreciate this: my friend bought me season (2?) of Venture Bros. Awesome. I haven't watched all of them, but my god, David Bowie is in one of them... it's gonna be feckin' hilarious.)

Anyway my resolutions:

1) pick up the darn guitar and start learning.

2) do more artwork that's NOT work-related.

3) pick a week and try to survive WITHOUT take-out or delivery (and get into the habit of cooking a good, wholesome dinner every night).

LOL! I'm sitting here drinking one as I read about you sitting there drinking one. I'm hopelessly hooked too. Anyone know if there's any advantage if I drink Diet Coke?

If nothing else, the calories. Everyone seems to have a different opinion on the dangers of the various sweeteners, so maybe the diets are destroying you in other ways, but at least they've got no calories.

Given the gallons of Diet Pepsi that I drink, I'll justify it any way I can.

I don't buy into any of the scaremongering around sodas. I'll agree that having more than a few a day isn't the best thing for you, but come on, how many of us in the past 100 years or so of soda's history have died of "soft drink poisoning?"

I honestly don't believe any of the aspartame scare stuff either. It's been disproven many, many times. BUT, if you're concerned about it - switch to Pepsi One. It has the other sweetener (which I can't remember the name of!)
