Never eat ice cream again.
Seeing as how New Year's is next Tuesday, I was wondering what (if any) Primal New Year's Resolutions the good folks here have? Do you make resolutions? Do you do something else?
Let me know.

OMG trekfan - that is a huge weight loss.
Well done you.
I don't think that you need any New Years resolutions. Keep enjoying life ............... at your age - the world is your oyster !!!!!!!!!!!!

...small steps....
HAHA, yes, I hear this. It seems so worth it for about five seconds and then ... not so much.
Thanks primal Gwamma. Yeah, I did lose a lot of weight which has left me lacking any New Year's Resolutions this year. Last year I was still losing weight (60 pounds down roughly from where I was last New Year's) but I'm not this year.
True, I need to eat a bit cleaner (the Christmas holidays ... sigh) but that applies for a lot of us I think. I'm thinking that this year my New Year's Resolutions should be less physical and more cerebral.

I have very modest resolution this year. To brush my teeth every night. Dunno if it's Primal, but I keep falling asleep before I brush my teeth, so I want to make sure to brush them earlier at night right after supper. I am not sure just WHY it is such a monumental fit of willpower. ???

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.
As far as lifestyle goes...exercise more frequently, enjoy the outdoors more. My big resolutions are to travel more and to be around friends more.
For years, my only resolution has been not to make a list to start on the New Year.
The one I kicked off Wednesday was getting in some form of exercise every day. Walking, sprints, weights, body weight, SOMETHING.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, steak in one hand, chocolate in the other, yelling "Holy F***, What a Ride!"
My Primal Battle Tome
I generally use a scatter approach for resolutions. I make a ton of them with the idea that if I even keep one, I'm still better off than the year before. They generally revolve around things like getting more organized, going to places I haven't been yet, and taking better care of myself.

I don't really make resolutions anymore--I set goals instead. This year I want to achieve a 300-pound deadlift and 200-pound squat. I also want to learn and implement better time management skills. Resolutions seem like "I will" or "I won't" statements with a pass/fail mentality. Goals are targets with concrete steps and measurable outcomes. Maybe that's just semantics, but it makes a difference in how likely I am to succeed.
