This is me using our ab roller. One of my resolutions was to do some kind of physical activity five days a week. I know that sounds like a really wimpy goal, but I've been crazy lazy for a long time. :)
I figured that doing anything was better than doing NOTHING. I've had some pretty good success with this goal. Steve and I like to watch "Everybody Loves Raymond." I've been using the ab roller, doing bicep curls, and doing other simple exercises while we watch. I don't get bored if I'm watching the show. Hopefully I keep up the good habit.
MY RESOLUTION IS IMPORTANT AND ACHIEVABLE

Every year, we host a New Year's Day lunch for my sister-in-law and any of the nieces, nephews and significant others who are in town. After lunch, we always play the resolutions game. The only rule is that you must write resolutions—funny or serious— aimed at anyone in the family, put it in the bowl, and then pick one and read it (but you can't read your own). The results can be hilarious.
Here are some examples from the bowl:
I resolve to ignore all new year's resolutions and bucket lists.
I resolve to swim in a pool of Jello. But only if it's blue Jello.
I will sing every day in 2013.
I resolve to cook and eat spaghetti in a zero gravity environment-- with parmesan cheese.
I resolve to take a photograph a day in 2013. (Bet you can't guess whose resolution that is!)
Have some fun with your New Year's resolutions this year; they may be easier to keep!
a non new year's resolution idea thingy - try to wear colours other than black.
and wear more sunblock to minimise freckles.
For the Macro Mondays group theme "New Year's Resolutions"...
Although I live alone, I have the most terrible habit of leaving the dirty crockery to pile up until I run out of plates. This year, I resolve to clean up after myself!
Fun fact: This is the first time I've published a political cartoon featuring me and Masheka (my husband).
And in case you're wondering why I'm fantasizing about alien lizard queens eating the president, Ted Rall recently introduced me to the wonderful 80s science fiction miniseries V, about fascist man-eating lizards who do just that. I highly recommend it.
Dialogue: Any resolutions for the new year? Sure! I resolve that there will be world peace and universal health care! I resolve that an alien lizard queen will carry Bush, Cheney and Condi away in her food processing ship! I resolve that the entire GOP presidential field will melt into puddles of barely sentient goo! Got anything less... idealistic? I resolve to replace our TV next time I throw a brick at it.

This scan was originally uploaded by another Flickr account that has since been deleted. I have uploaded it to my account solely for the purpose of it continuing to be enjoyed and shared.
I kinda felt like shit today. I felt like shit yesterday, too, but as soon as I started taking pictures my whole aspect switched into Photographer Mode and I didn't feel it until I got home. But then I got home and I felt like shit, so I didn't leave the house.
I ate a fortune cookie, though. It said "Focus on your long term goal. Your wish will be granted next year". So, good excuse for some New Year's Resolutions:
1. Eat a cheeseburger
2. Don't eat so many cheeseburgers.
3. Finish up my Yellow project, for realsies, and put in the effort to get a book printed up.
4. Clear off at least half of my credit card debt.
