Deciding what to do for New Year's

How can you tell it's the end of a decade with a flood of "best of" lists and videos being posted? We've decided that we're going to be ushering in the New Year with our friend's wife, whose birthday is on the 31st. It's the big FOUR-OH for her.
I've never really made a list of resolutions, habits or goals for the upcoming year; I keep them to myself for the most part unless I include the period in my life when Jan. 1 meant one day of indulging on junk food before I'd begin my diet for a bodybuilding contest. That usually lasted anywhere from 12 to 20 weeks during which I'd subsist on oatmeal, rice, baked potatoes, boiled chicken, egg whites and a little bit of fruit and salad.
My wife and I have been indulging throughout the Christmas season mostly because it gives us the motivation to tighten up our eating once next year rolls around. I figure there's no sin in enjoying some of the food that people have taken the time to prepare or purchase.
Finding motivation to maintain a fitness regimen should be a little easier because next Tuesday is the premiere show of this season's The Biggest Loser of which, I've actually come to enjoy--kind of :)
Anyways, I need to go. I have a hungry-looking pug that needs to be fed and is staring me down and licking her chops.
