New Year’s Resolution

It’s that time again. Time to over promise to yourself only to bail on yourself just a few weeks later. Yup, I’m talking about making New Year’s resolutions. I usually make ‘em and brake ‘em. But this year it’s going to be different.

Here’s a list of the most common NYRs:

• Lose Weight <–this is mine
• Gain Weight
• Get out of Debt
• Save Money
• Get a Better Job
• Get Fit
• Eat Right
• Get a Better Education
• Drink less Alcohol
• Quit Smoking
• Reduce Stress
• Take a Trip
• Volunteer to Help Others
• Be Less Grumpy
• Be more independent

I want to help you stay on track whether you’re trying to loose weight to get in shape for your favorite Los Angeles urban adventure race (early registration ends today *hint*hint*) or you want to get a better handle on your finances I’ve found some helpful tips (see below).

Stick to it
Experts say it takes about 21 days for a new activity, such as exercising, to become a habit, and 6 months for it to become part of your personality. Your new healthful habits will become second-nature in no time.

I thought the “Stick to it” was the most worthy to post, but if you’d like to read more on this article go here.
