    Just thought I'd start a thread where we could share plans and New Year's resolutions for 2014.

    Here are mine:
    - Gain a healthier perspective about being gay. Banish the remaining bit of internalized homophobia that leads to negative self-talk.
    - Train for (and run) a 10K at the end of May. Start a weight training program. Hopefully accompanied by some weight loss due to better diet / more exercise.
    - Improve my image - updated clothing, etc. mid-year after I get into better shape.
    - Updated training for work.

    I've never really made any before, but this year I'm going to!!

    -Lose some weight: I want to try and go down a dress size, two if I'm really good
    -Study harder: Get better grades this year than previous years
    -Boyfriend/girlfriend: At the very least I want to have asked someone out, even if they say no, but if I get one then YAY!
    -PRACTICE: I need to practice my voice and makeup feminisation. This year I'd love to be able to pass at least once, even if only for a little while :slight_smile:

    I have a few

    Finish a 1/2 Ironman triathlon.
    A 50K run
    Get into a PhD program - I've applied so it's really out of my hands at the moment.
    Loose that last pesky 10lbs
    Come out to everyone, except extended family - If they find out though that's fine with me.

    To all those people who want to start running, good for you, go for it! I started running just two years ago and It literally has changed my life. I've lost lots of weight, gained self confidence, and it's such a stress reliever. If I can do it you all can to =)

    I've applied to a few different schools they all call it something different, but Environmental Toxicology sums it up. I am interested in studying the fate and effects of emerging contaminates (pharmaceuticals and personal care products) have on the aquatic ecosystem and how this effects human populations. Currently I study groundwater contamination of similar compounds. Lot's of people have wells where I live and we are finding these compounds in their wells.
     
  16. save some more money for miving out
    get healthier and lose some weight!
    hopefully move out
