What sort of resolutions have you made or will you be making for new years for 2018 and how likely are you to actually accomplish them?
I myself was realizing after the Thanksgiving holiday that I had added five lbs of extra weight and it was not good weight but fat weight around my belly from over-eating and having too much eggnog and also not really exercising at all as well, so I decided that I would make a Thanksgivings resolution instead of the traditional New-Year's resolution because I literally stop after like maybe 2 or three weeks of resoluting and this year is going to be different especially because I will have solid momentum going into the new year unlike prior years where it's kind of an after-thought after having too much "adult-beverages" during NYE celebratings. So starting today I'm literally going to "hit the gym" every day except for Sundays for at least 40 minutes even if it is broken up into 20 minutes in the morning and then the other remaining 20 of the 40 minutes total, in the evening or before bed. I will start by doing what they call a "bulking stage" because holidays have so many good meals to enjoy so why fight it? Right? ANd then I will begin my "CUT" where you lose the fat from all the food and "binge-eating" sometime in the new year, as a New Year's resolution follow-thru for the Thanksgivings resolution. By the early Spring or even earlier I intend to make that 5 lbs I gained over thanksgivings break into pure, noticeable muscle, and hopefully even 5 lbs more so at LEAST a total of 10 lbs of muscle mass I intend to have, mostly concentrated in my arms because as my mom's ex-boyfriend always said, "The bench press is a short man's lift" and I have literally never been able to grow pectoral muscle tissue naturally and refuse to do the steroids like my room-mate.
