Big year for me, and while I don't really subscribe to the idea of New Years resolutions I'll give my short list.

-Get back into peak shape
-Pass at least one level of the CFA exam in June
-Graduate from my undergrad
-Network my way into a investment banking job, preferably outside of Calgary
-Read more
-Improve playing on my harmonica
-Drink less
-Watch less TV
-Read more
-Eat healthier

I just plan on going to bed before midnight instead of 130 or 2 each night. That's a reasonable resolution I think.

This. Which will help out with my next resolution to get back on track with my weight loss, or rather, keep on the track I'm currently on. I'm sitting at 224/225 lbs. depending on the day. I hope to be 215 by summertime, and then we'll see how much farther I can/want to go.

Another part is to get back to doing the Spartacus workout. It was doing wonders for me, and then I let it fall by the wayside once ice hockey started up again.

I'm also close to getting out of debt (mortgage aside) so I'd like to clear it all up by the end of the year so I can increase my payments into retirement planning.

This more sex thing that people are hoping to do sounds good. I think I'll try it too!

2011 will be a big year for me. I plan on completing my mortgage associate program, finalizing my divorce, travelling with my new beautiful flight-attendant girlfriend to some exotic destinations and dropping another 15lbs(already down 20lbs since September). Oh, and the more sex thing wouldn't hurt either!!

Take and pass my Black Belt test in Tae Kwon Do. Stop spending so much money on books and bath and body stuff. Remember to wear sunscreen all the time/no more tanning.

I vow to crush my enemies

Be a meaner less caring individual

Nail lots of chicks and not call them

Break at least one major law and not get caught

In other words I vow to be a better person.

I'm going to give up Vegemite. I know I know, who doesn't like salty, decayed microorganisms spread on their morning toast?

It'll be tough, but I'll manage... somehow. I always do.

I never pick up the phone when I do not recognize the number, because it is usually a telemarketer.

For 2011, every telemarketer that calls will get an ear full from me.

My Resolution for last year was to drop 20 lbs. I ended losing 35 lbs, but unfortunately I've put 8 lbs back on. So for this year I want to lose another 20.

Same here

- get a girlfriend (so more sex too)
- get scuba certified
- learn to kayak
- climbing - various goals and projects
- physical: get stronger, things like better hiking legs
- get confident on my new motorcycle
- be a little more diligent in managing my portfolio than 2010
- learn more about cars, maybe even build my own car (an idea i've been playing around with)

My only New Years resolution is to work less and be more efficient.
