New Years Resolutions

On the first of the year many people establish a resolution to improve themselves that is meant to be carried out for the next 365 days. However, most people end up abandoning these resolutions by the time Valentine's Day rolls around and are quickly immersed in old habits. Hopefully all of the participants in the prevention program set a September 7th resolution, or whatever date your class may have started to lead a healthy lifestyle not only for the next year but for your lifetime. Being equipped with the proper tools provided by the lifestyle coaches should assist you during moments of weakness, low motivation, cold weather, burnout and also with in home and restaurant menu choices as well as innovative ways to be physically active.

Here is a look at the Top 10 New Years resolutions from The Goals Guy.

1. Lose Weight and Get in Better Physical Shape
2. Stick to a Budget
3. Debt Reduction
4. Enjoy More Quality Time with Family & Friends
5. Find My Soul Mate
6. Quit Smoking
7. Find a Better Job
8. Learn Something New
9. Volunteer and Help Others
10. Get Organized

For a more extensive look at these goals click on the link above. Each resolution is accompanied by a description with different strategies to help you accomplish it.

I usually don't make New Years Resolutions, but this year I decided to join the masses and see if I can stick to it. This is what I intend to do: Stop feeding my dog human food. The more I think about it it kind of seems like a cop out resolution because I am not required to do much more than eat a bit more instead of giving it to the dog.

It would be great if readers of this post could add comments regarding their own New Years Resolutions. Happy New Year!
