The Official 2013 resolutions

2012 was good to me, I have to say. I hit 7 countries, 4 of them being new, with 2 full months exploring Asia. After a solid 2011 with women, I somewhere near tripled my total, losing count somewhere along the way with Thaifriendly. I've basked in some of my own professional accomplishments in that I received my Master's degree. I celebrated with friends as they bought property, made their first million, and gained acceptance into one of the most gated bastions of education.
2013 leaves me calling for some of this:
-Conversational proficiency in French
-Living abroad for at least one month
-Advancing my career as a result of added experience and advanced credentials
-Edging closer to the 35% I'd like to put down on a NYC property
-Further trimming ties with deadwood relationships, and further cultivating the strong relationships I have
-Trim myself from a bulked up 18% BF down to a trim 11-12% in time for summer
The ladies will come running gaga at me once again in '13. I'm now at a point in my life where I compare myself to other men and realize that I'm the catch. I'm the guy that makes girls panties wet with my brain, game and gusto. It's a good feeling.

-Learn conversational German. I've gotten really lazy about this. I've learned just enough to have a simple conversation when I approach girls and then switching to English after a couple minutes. I got the Pimsleur and Michel Thomas programs and I plan to study every day, even if it's just a few minutes.
-Read two books a month.
-Complete my general ed requirements. Another thing I've been neglecting.
-Visit Poland. I read Bang Poland and I would like to go on a Bang Mission there.
-Exercise more, take more long walks. I've been taking long walks lately and it helps to clear my head.
-Continue approaching 10-15 girls a week. I was actually approaching closer to 20-25 a week this year which resulted in me achieving more bangs this year than any year prior but I was also neglecting other parts of my life (not studying, not learning anything new, just a lot of going out to get laid).
-Go 90 days NoPorn/NoFap. I lasted 27 days earlier this year and it changed me in more ways than one. I was getting a lot more shit done just to keep my mind off of porn and I was approaching way more girls.
-Bang 10 girls.

I started 2012 100 pounds overweight. Yeah, you read that right. 100. One fucking hundred.
Not cool.
A new environment with healthier food and better access to a gym, along with some quality fat shaming from the RooshV forum and manosphere, made lose 80 of those pounds and put on some serious muscle. But then I got sick in November. Hell sick. "Maybe if I jump out of a fourth story window the pain will stop" sick. If it clears up, and there's no guarantee that it will but the trend is positive, I'm going to finish my weight loss in 2013 and be down to exactly where the Met Life charts say I should be.

2013 is the first year where I've had any real plans for a while now, and I've got a lot in mind.
I want to, by mid-year:
Be low bf% (15-), and working on gaining muscle at least 3 days per week
Be close to being somewhat conversational with Russian
Read at least 25 books
Be regularly training in Muay Thai/some other martial art
Impove my guitar playing to the point it should be at right now anyway
Work on taking any and all opportunities to do something that will benefit me or be interesting
Improve my vocal tonality and presense
Have enough money saved to go on an overseas holiday
Improve my social circle, and become included in some higher value circles
And by the end of the year:
I want my body and body language to be imposing
Conversational in a lot of areas in Russian
Read 50 books
Be reasonably skilled at a martial art, and confident enough to fight using my craft
Visit at least 2 new countries
Have enough money saved to visit Russia
Become skilled at freestyle rapping
At least 12 new notches
Have new high value friends
Start learning to surf
Some of these are a bit open ended I guess

2012 was a year of great sacrifice for me. I actually accomplished the things many people hope to with their New Year's resolutions. I cooked the vast majority of my meals (ate healthier). I got into the best shape of my life since high school (powerlifting, plyometrics and grade A supplements). I upgraded my wardrobe dramatically and made more money than I have yet to date (honed on in-demand technical skills). Coincidentally, this was also the year I traveled the least since I started traveling actively. DR was the only "new country" I went to. I focused more on developing a "home life" routine which had been out of balance by years of world travel.
I could have definitely gotten laid a lot more but my decline in mobility and having to focus on DC chicks was definitely a big part of that. My game has only gotten better as a result however.
That said, 2013 is going to be insane. I'm not sure I'll see as many countries in one year as I did in 2011 (15), but I will be a true international playboy. The hard work I did in 2012 to acquire the "lifestyle" will finally pay off. I will have more disposable income to lock down the logistics I need to capture flags - or just get laid in general - as I travel to hotspots.
I still have some ways to go before I accomplish some long-term goals but I can be happy with the fact that everything I do is going in that direction.
Very excited for 2013. Be on the lookout for some epic data sheets!

I love everyone's resolutions, they're all on some kind of similar theme
- Gym
- Biz
- General self-improvement
Mine are not really resolutions, but they're ongoing already
- Get my Portuguese to a high standard for a Brazil visit
- Continue with Salsa classes
I noticed 3 Aussie posters in quick succession, seems to be quite a few on the forum now. This forum is heavy with guys from the States, Canada, UK and Australia. I think that tells you a lot about the quality of women in those countries. I think that's one of the biggest drivers for a guy to improve himself and get better at something. Especially when you have to compete with many guys for few attractive women, you have to be good.
That's why we have guys on here who are multi-lingual, bosses in business, the gym, authors and international playboys. It's on a level the average man just can't compete with. Because the average guy is lazy and content with his lot and doesn't want to improve himself. I think it's no coincidence the guys with these skillsets come from these countries (UK,Canada, US, Oz), they're born out of necessity and it snowballs and guys get hooked on getting better and better.

Things that I have or are currently taking are pretty much stuff that I learned about from the forum and this article. I mentioned most of them in Eros' Testosterone Regimen thread. But here they are again,
ACV/Coconut Vinegar (I alternate or cook with one while taking shots of the other) - Braggs or Vitamin Shoppe brand for ACV. This for Coco V.
Vitamins (A, B, C, D) - Vitamin Shoppe Brand
Fish Oils The company that makes the brand I use makes the multi-V or whatever it was that you recommended for your hangover cure.
I apply Vit E topically in lotion form.
Zinc/Copper - I use the Solaray brand for Zinc because it comes in 75 mg capsules. I use Vit Shoppe brand for Copper.
BCAA's (Vitamin Shoppe brand)
Aspartic Acid - I always cop a new brand of this stuff. I'm currently taking one that also includes a blend of hormone herbs that raise T and reduces estrogen, as well as stuff like Longjack.
Resveratrol (Vitamin Shoppe house brand)
Whey Protein (Currently taking a MetRx blend)
Veggie Powder - My favorite supplement (energy boost)
Deodorized Garlic capsules (Vit Shoppe brand) - I OD on garlic. I cook with a lot of garlic as well.
Magnesium Oil Spray - Raises Testosterone levels. Great for after taking cold showers.
Just started taking Amino Collagens as well. Too early to tell the net effect. This is the brand I purchased: http://www.amazon.com/NeoCell-Super-Collagen-Type-Vitamin/dp/B001N0LPPA
That's pretty much it. That's a lot of shit so I can understand if some folks don't want to mess with that. Kinda annoying but I feel great.

I'm very much against New Year's resolutions, but on the other hand, this IS a good time to review performance in 2012 and make a written commitment towards 2012 to which you can hold yourself accountable.
Hencredible's post sounded pretty good, I hope he writes a post about some of those achievements, especially getting the income part down?
Anyways... as Aristotle said... excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.
For me, things are basically simple:
What:
- Score a QPA of +3.6 on the subjects I've picked
- Regain mid-2012 strength and keep on building on that + add new dimension (cardiovascular fitness)
- Continue eliminating expensive debt
- Make my boss love me
- Be tidier
- Finish renovating flat (when subjects are completed)
How:
- Dedicate ample time weekly to each goal (each one includes transport)
- Prioritize ruthlessly and plan everything a 1-2 weeks at a time
- Finish goals ahead of time where possible to release time for finishing up other goals
This means:
1) Setting aside time for studying and nothing else
2) Seeking out new tasks and executing current tasks quickly and precisely, actively requesting feedback for improvement
3) Healthy and purposeful eating and rest
4) Taking regular breaks from 1) and 2) and using that time to go to the gym
So the first goal is obviously to smash grad school, the second is to become an invaluable asset to my manager and win praise, the third is to regain last summer's fitness and building upon it.
