What changes for 2005? What will you make happen?

[ChefWide]

2004 was my year of taking the first step, 2005 will be a year of the greatest changes of my life...

The greatest changes I DECIDED to bring about, none of them comfortable, non of them sure, risks all, emotional, financial, physical...

Pretty exciting! At the risk of sounding like i just walked out of a self help seminar, the silliest part of it all is that it all boils down to having made a decision and then to act on it. Nothing has really happened to make these life changes appear. No catastrophe, no great catharsis... just a day that started like any other that ended with everthing EVERTHING having changed for the better by making a decision and then acting upon it.


Will I win? will I lose? Both, of course. Both a heart in pain and extreme joy have come out of it already. I am already a much better man for having not given in to waiting: waiting for life to to come to me. By virtue of realizing that I am worth the risk, I am excited about my future. That alone makes the risk worth taking.











What changes does 2005 bring you? What have YOU decided to do?

What changes does 2005 bring you? What have YOU decided to do?

Everything I am going to do in 2005 is a continuance from the risks and changes I already decided to take in 2000. So mine is actually a work in progress which will materialize mid 2005 or maybe end of 2005 depending on a number of things. 2006 will be the big year for me when I see my baby walking ...I cannot wait!!!! At the end of 2005 I am not sure if I will have the time to keep on posting on EliteFitness boards like I am doing now!! (no time)!

What type of risks are you taking next year? Can you be more specific or is it too personal?

 

[EnderJE]

The only thing in 2005 that I plan to risk is my career. Its like any corporation, there are two sides. I play for one. And I want that one to win.

If we lose, then the company may disappear into the landscape like so many others. If we win, then we can go overseas and starting plundering over there.

Well, we all need to take risks.

 

[*MissFit*]

[EnderJE]

What's SA?

[*MissFit*]

Well, we all need to take risks.

Ya but the risk is not worth it.. u should see ym face after this happens

 

[EnderJE]

Ya but the risk is not worth it.. u should see ym face after this happens

But, I figured that the same thing would happen if you went down too. Are you saying that you'll quit all of it?

Social Anxiety

I'm saying that right now! Wish granted.

 

[ChefWide]

I'm saying that right now! Wish granted.

Sounds familiar. The quantum shift in my life in a matter of weeks has been dizzying to understate the sheer emotion alone.

 

[H_T_]

nicely said, Chef.

decided already, been planning for a while, its boiled down to about a fortnight from now

cut a long story short there are a lot of pretentious mofos in comfort zones in pharmacy who have severely underestimated me. i do it on purpose, though, dont like being a role model (not in pharmacy...i glory in being the laziest bastard ever ). anyway my skill set is suited to getting things done quickly and cheaply...so im going to have a go

thanks for the sentiment chef, all the best you and yours also

 

[Dial_tone]

2005 is a full-on assault on my body. I got my financial house in order and work is going incredibly well; now it's time to work on the body. After that I'll start thinking about another relationship.

GD, you're sharper than most knives in the drawer, except for that selling meth disguised as a nun... yah... anyway, one day when the mood strikes, I'ld love to hear the master plan as I sure you will excell at whatever you choose to give in to.

 

[velvett]

SAME HERE!

 

[gotmilk]

I/m going to make sure I set aside more time for myself...cause I'm going to expire at the rate I've been going. Too many projects....to many asswipes wasting my time.

I'm heading to St Barts for a couple of weeks and then Operation Gotmilk goes into effect.

I'm going on a freak cash call tour in the end of jan and in mid to late february... then going diving in march... definitely.

 

[Dial_tone]

I'm about to head to the gym and start making changes right now; chest and delts today.

 

[Forge]

I'm going to spend 2005 working on me. I live alone now for the first time in 8 years, so I'm going to paint the house (the colors I want), probably re-side the house, buy new carpets, do lots of work around the yard. I'm going to finish re-building my CJ7 and get back into off-roading. I'm going to Sturgis this year on the hog. I'm going to kayak around Atlantic City and then I'll paddle around Presque Isle in Erie. Women aren't even a concern right now as I doubt I'll find time to fit one in anyway.

Next year I'll try to start dating again, after I have a few things out of my system.

 

[The Shadow]

im currently posting a daily diet thread on the womens board...gonna add a weekly pic for motivation....Ill have 6% bf by the end of Feb

HELL YES!!! Damn, good for you! You will beat me there by a long shot, but I'm on the path.. like the man said 'one step at a time'...

 

[biteme]

I hope to reach my bodybuilding goals. I want to get a better job with better hours where I don't have to deal directly with people. I want to pay close attention to my daughter and make sure our relationship continues to grow and flourish. Nothing complicated.

 

[Raina]

I'm planning to revamp my whole workout routine since I'm taking 9 months off of school. My little sister really wants to train with me again but she doesn't like to go to the gym until 7:30pm and I prefer to go at either 5:30am or 4ish pm. We'll see.

Other than that, my plan for this year is to just take the time to enjoy everything and everyone in my life. My school program for fall 05 will be the beginning of real hell for me so I'm going love life up until that starts. We're also planning to get a puppy later this winter.

What changes does 2005 bring you? What have YOU decided to do?

Very wise statement. You have to go after what you want out of life and not wait for it to come to you. Hope you get everything you dream of!

2004 is ending rocky and 2005 will start that way. Haven't yet decided what to do in 2005 and what changes I will make. So far, I know it will be a time of great introspection.

 

[Delinquent]

2005 will bring many things both challenging and dream come true things. After my heart scare a couple months ago and being told that I was obese, I decided that now is the time to get my mind and body back on track. It's finally time to kick the alcohol and achieve what I have always wanted ie: 9% BF. I've always been chunky but I have gained over 50lbs in the passed year to year and a half which caused all kinds of stretch marks and high blood pressure.

I am also getting married in May so I need to be looking my best. I doubt I'll be able to lose 50lbs in 5 months so I'm just gonna see how much I can lose to look presentable.

My mustang should arrive sometime in February which has been my dream before I could even drive.

I also would like to push my fiance into starting her own salon. We have a financial backer it's just that a lot of resonsibility for two people that have no business experience.

Hopefully at least one of these will become a reality.

 

[The_Ghost]

I will be starting a new life in 2005. Quiting my job of 18 years, selling my house and starting all over in a new city to be with my child.

Don't know where I will live, don't know what I will do, only know a couple of people in the city, but I am excited about what lies ahead.

I don't kid myself and say it will be easy, I am going to have a big fight to be a part of my childs life and I will do everything needed to see him/her, but there will always be more positives then negatives.

Bodywise I am going to continue to keep working hard and getting closer to my goal.

2004 was a rocky year, 2005 is going to be a great one for me.

 

[Lady Viking]

2005 is a full-on assault on my body.

same here

 

[curling]

I am going to focus more on work and family and little less on motocycles and rallys. I am also considering quitting smoking on the 1st too.

 

[Megalomaniac]

Push life a little more, Natural Highs, Add a lean 20lbs, Enjoy what I have! Skydive anyone?

 

[evansteve]

hmm,

my biggest goals I'd say, are to start being healthy again, going to the gym regularly, eating healthy, and all that good stuff. (Since this last year I kinda took a break)

And also, to get some kind of social life, and find friends at my college with likewise interests, if at all possible.
