Keep Your Resolutions

We are now nearly 2 weeks into 2010 and sailing into a new decade. I figured it's time to talk about resolutions and time to post again (it's been awhile). By now many of us have probably made resolutions, and probably have broken them. Resolutions always sound great because they are typically some sort of self improvement promise that we make to ourselves. It's easy to say "this year I'm cutting a six-pack" or "I'm running a marathon" or "no more booze." It all sounds great and gives us a direction, but it's just too easy to quite.

Maybe we throttle back a little bit and take a smaller step to our bigger goal. Instead of shooting for a six pack, how about reducing body fat by a certain percentage - eventually the abs will pop. Likewise, instead of cutting off a bad dietary choice cold - cut back slowly to a low moderation. My point is keep your resolutions reasonable and stick with them. It's a new year to be a new you - see if you can make your resolution a lifestyle habit.
