My results for the "What are everyone's resolutions for the New Year", poll

For anyone who is interested to know. I did a poll asking what everyone's resolutions for the new year were. I did a count by way of voting in the comments and by the Polldaddy.com poll.

Here were the results. It was rather close folks. And, quite interesting.

Number one resolution is...

Losing weight with 8 votes.

Number 2 is Not making resolutions with 7 votes. (Yep, I was shocked too.)

Number three was a tie between Going to the gym/and or exercise with 4 votes and Spending time with family.

Everything else only got one or two votes. Except for Taking a trip which received 3 votes.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to do my poll.

And, if anyone has any suggestions for my next poll, let me know.

I had fun, and I hope you did too.

I know that gyms get a surge of new members in January. I'd say that's a pretty common resolution.

Thanks Doug, you are right as rain.

I should have voted for not making a resolution. All I've done is eat lately. Thanks for sharing the results.

I went out for a short run three times today, and will go again.

My sneaks and running clothes have night light bands on them so I can be seen.

The health club is not far but in the cold and ice I don't always like to drive there. so I run in the street. Quiet neighborhood.

Must run!

I missed it but mine is getting out of debt

I've been walking 5X a week for an hour in the cold here. I'd rather walk outside than in a gym.

Angela, I am doing the word thing, but you knew that didn't you.

I am taking Marianne up on her reading 50 books in a year challenge. I have to get started soon. I have been to the library yet. I think I have read and reread all the books in my house, so I do not think they count. Ah well.

Great poll you did!

I have other goals for this year like putting together a cookbook and I would like to travel over the summer possibly.

Rory, you are rather funny there. Great joke.
Chana, the word thing, huh?

I quit my gym, and am playing Wii Sports instead, which I should do tonight. Someday I'll get a Wii Fit
Georgiana S. Jan 3, 2009, 6:33pm EST
I don'thave anything to give up nor any weight to lose!

Good poll
Ryan M. Jan 3, 2009, 7:55pm EST
I am one of those that needs to lose weight.

getting a new house and have good health and always having a close walk with GOD.
Dr. Erica Goodstone Jan 3, 2009, 9:22pm EST
Glad to hear I'm not alone in wanting to lose weight in this new year. As a former Professor of Health and Physical Education, I certainly know the importance of exercise and diet for health. But lately I have been working with so many projects and not enough hours in the day, so I sometimes let the exercise slip. I do play tennis a few times every week, but that doesn't seem to be enough to take the pounds off.

Thanks everyone for your comments..
I don't make new year's resolutions myself. I figure, what's the point.
I don't need to make promises I won't keep. Instead, I just wing it.

I guess my resolution to shoot more people didn't male the list. LOL

Naw, that's not funny.

I resolve to stop joking about shooting people. Better?

I also resolve to having intimate relations with Angela, Ann, and Tracy. No wait, Queen of La la would probably SHOOT me. Forget that one.

Now, I resolve to stop joking about shooting people.

thanks for sharing
Angela A. Jan 4, 2009, 8:23pm EST
Thanks Austin for letting me know.
Te he Robert! Good luck on your quest. You may just need it..
No, thank you for coming by, Rachel.

My results are about the same. As for Robert and shooting people, I think he's a crack shot.

Hello Angela A.,

I just wanted to say I am finally going through what is now under 6,600 pieces of gather new mail that is in my inbox on here. So with that in mind I have finally come to a piece of mail that was addressed to me in regards this article submission you have created to share with the gather community. Thank you for taking the time and sharing your piece with us here at gather. :o)

And I hope you have a Happy New Year... in 2009 :o)
David S. Jan 5, 2009, 8:06pm EST
I'm all for the making no resolutions! Just keep living it the way it is working for me.
Angela A. Jan 5, 2009, 11:13pm EST
You, of course are biased as to Robert's talents.. But, you're a fair and lovely queen. So, I say, whatever you say is fine with me. Long may you live!
Thanks Felicia.
Thanks David for your input.

For who, William?
Thanks for coming by.
No resolutions for me. Well, there were too many to choose from, you know? Take it day by day and just try getting by.
