1. Eat more broccoli and kale.
2. Try to improve my calisthenics workout. It’s really hard to do exercises using your own body weight
My push-ups are getting better, but my pull-ups 
. Maybe it’s the gravity’s working out, not me

My resolution is to get back to the gym and start working out at least three times a week.
Very kind of you, Captain. I don't do New Year's resolutions, so not in but good luck everyone.
Wishing all of you a happy and blessed 2023.

Much thanks to the Captain of generosity!
This year I have resolved to refocus on my art practice and make necessary upgrades to my studio.
I need to improve my work/life balance (after getting settled into a new job) and regularly do things that bring me joy—like spending time outdoors.
Happy new year everyone!

Thank you @Captain Pre-Capsize for your generosity sir!
I have a shaving related goal! Use up three soaps before I purchase another. Trying to kill my first full tub of Stirling Executive Man, Cella EEB, and half a tub of Canada Shave Soap.
Happy new year everyone!

We have our two winners but first I thought this article may be helpful based on a number of entries. Link to the original is here. Whether it is to lose some weight, get to the gym or to quit smoking this is one way to get'r done.
Dwight D. Eisenhower started smoking cigarettes in his junior year at West Point. He would soon begin smoking them in a near-endless chain. He could smoke fifteen cigarettes in the course of a few hours, and regularly worked his way through two to three packs a day.
In the weeks leading up to the Invasion of Normandy, Eisenhower dealt with the organizational and decision-making tension which rested on his shoulders by increasing his consumption to six packs a day (alongside twenty-four cups of coffee).
Then, while serving as president of Columbia University after the war, Ike decided to give up cigarettes. He quit smoking, cold turkey. Asked how he had so readily kicked a decades-long habit, Ike replied: “I simply gave myself an order.”
There is plenty of advice out there about how to successfully make and break habits: take it slow, change your environment, get an accountability partner, give yourself rewards, etc. And utilizing such techniques can often make a difficult task easier.
But whether you ever change, whether you ever do the thing, ultimately comes down to something far more fundamental: reasserting a proper chain of command.
Are you going to let the lowest parts of yourself call the shots in your life? Are you going to allow your appetites to maneuver you around? Are you going to take your marching orders from your belly?
Or, are you going to invest authority in the highest parts of your soul, so that the best of yourself directs everything else about what you do?
In the well-disciplined life, the grunts on the ground obey the supreme commander of the spirit, and not the other way around. As soon as the latter gives an order, the distraction is vanquished, the action is taken, the battle is won.
Thank you to everyone who has entered and congrats to the two winners. Each now has a $50.00 credit to spend in the Captain's Choice store right here. The winners selected by random.org are:
1. @ylekot
2. @skibik
If you are a winner simply shop in our store and pick out what you like. Then email The Captain here and let him know what you have chosen!
