    Several years ago, I made a resolution to not make New Year's resolutions.

    I've not broken that one yet.

    (usually, though, I resolve to write the date correctly on checks...)

    Lose the same 10 pounds that I have had to lose after the holidays for the past 20 years. To excercise more (!!).

    Since September my wife and I have been working towards going vegetarian. We strive for vegan when possible. By the end of the year, I will be vegetarian with no plans for future meat consumption and most likely working towards solid vegan as a 2011 resolution.

    exersise man. I go to the YMCA and do 30 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of weights. I need to start doing more cardio to drop some more. And you can walk into any store and get something good. Another great option is subway. Buy a 12" eat half for lunch and the other half for dinner. Stay away from mayo and stuff, and load up on the veggies. Cheese will kill ya, but I have to have some cheese on my sub.

    Breads are my downfall, and you would be amazed how many calories you consume by drinking soda or energy drinks. One day I watched my ex wife drink a 32oz soda, 2 cans, and one energy drink, and a starbucks, there was almost 2000 calories alone in drinks.

    I'm no expert, but I ask alot of questions to the people are in great shape and this is what they tell me, so I am just passing it along.

    To funny, I grew up in Buffalo, in the Lovejoy area and everyone back there calls it pop, out here it is soda. They think pop is some sort of crack rock. :spit:

    And when I went to the gym today, about 500 people joined in the last 2 days for their new years resolution. I hope they brake it fast, it gets too crowded and way to many kids running around playing on machines.
