The best thing I heard about resolutions is to not make resolutions. The problem is you make a resolution on Jan 1. Then you break it by about, oh, say, Jan 2. Then it's gone. Better to make goals or objectives. Resolution: I'll avoid all sweets. Goal: Lose 10 pounds by summer. With the goal you can mess up and still keep going.
New Year's is a good time to evaluate and re-focus and make plans and goals. I didn't do it this year so Eve has given me a chance to think. I did fall off the exercise and diet wagon, especially the last few months and need to get back on. My goal is to lose 10kg (20lbs) by June and get back into decent cardiovascular condition. I need to avoid sweets and exercise regularly to do this.
I also am learning to value people more. I'm not a complete iconoclast but I do avoid people often and often keep lots of distance. God has been changing my heart and I need to keep letting that happen. Not sure an exact objective. I'm trying to listen better and treat my wife with more respect and understanding. I'm trying to take the initiative to talk (or otherwise communicate) more. I'll try to avoid Monty's method, especially since I'm married.
Enough rambling for now. If I follow both of these I'll do well.

It's almost June...! I hope you're close to achieving your goal (and if not, it's not too late! :-))
Eve,
Glad to hear from you. Your blog seems dead to me.
I haven't lost any weight, so not doing so good at that. On the other hand, I haven't gained either. Also, I've been exercising regularly and feel like I've gotten a lot of my cardio stamina back.
