Anyone still working on theirs, or are they all over? I do a lot, but don't set the bar all that highly.

Family: Do whatever I can to minimize travel

Work: Get my startup commercialized; we feel really close!

Personal / Physical: I'd like to get back down to 170 lbs (currently 178) and do 20 pull-ups in a row. I'm tinkering with the idea of another marathon this year, but not locked in.
Personal / Mental: Read every day.

How about you?

I'm super bad about resolutions; they only work out if I've planned for them separately. Last year my resolution was to get to a positive net worth, but I'd laid the groundwork in 2014 and was motivated aside from the new year thing. (I hit positive net worth in April and was debt free at the end of October.)

My goals for this year are to get back into an apartment of my own by summer, for which I laid most of the financial groundwork in 2015.

Something new I'm trying that coincidentally is starting in the first week of the new year is a new lunch routine. I found that my new breakfast routine left me not wanting the hearty lunches I packed when I had a paltry breakfast, so I've switched those out for an apple and some peanut butter. So far I'm having fewer snack cravings than I did two months ago and haven't had a problem with hunger.

Edit: I used the word new entirely too many times in that last paragraph. Oops.

I make 'em to break 'em, nowadays.

Like, the day after I resolved to pull Madison out of Althanas and put her back in cyberpunk/space opera where she originated, I had all these neat ideas for her here.

Hit the gym and trim off 21lbs is my first goal. Whilst i'm not a fat lad by any stretch, i've started to get a little bit of a beer belly and I want to be fitter for when Shinsou Jr gets here in June!

Hit the gym so the tummy gets flatter and the ass gets fatter.

Who needs new year resolutions, anyway?

Change should happen ASAP.

I will write three worthy papers, publish three Althanas-worthy stories, work my way back into either five-a-side football or futsal, and continue to chase the improbable!

There is no try. There is only do.

We've just finished one of those stories, at least ;)

Do 1000 miles of deliberate exercise, either walking or running. I'm up to 16 miles or so miles so far.

I'd also like to meet a couple of Althy people.

Draw at least 5 times a week and focus on improving one aspect each time.
Also, work out every day, even if that means 10 reps of a basic push-up, sit-up, squat, or pull-up.
Lastly, get married.

Those are my three for the year.
