Though yesterday was New Year's Day, I didn't think about resolutions. I am making resolutions because I have things that absolutely want to change. But New Year's Day is a holiday and not a day to think about serious stuff like changing my life for the better.
Logically, I know that resolutions don't work. They are just a way to set ourselves up for failure. But I can't help myself. I have to take the opportunity to evaluate things and take note of what I need to change. Then I make half-hearted promises to myself that I know I am going to forget about in a few weeks. But there is that slim chance that things could work this time - so I keep at it.
My specific resolutions aren't important. Sharing them here won't make me keep them. In the end I am only accountable to myself. And when I cheat, I am only cheating myself. When I fail, it is only my failure.
And yet January 2nd is the magical day with the clean slate. The day when everything is possible.
Did you make resolutions? How do you feel about them?

If I made a resolution to watch more football and drink more wine, I succeeded beautifully this afternoon!
My resolution is the same as it was before: making it through this year-long project of healthy weight-loss and then keeping it off!
I never was a resolution gal ... I'm also not big into big-picture, year-long reflecting. I've always been forward-facing and continue to be so in 2012.
Never much on resolutions, but I keep the ones I do make... like eating more pizza, watching more TV and so on....
I usually shun resolutions, because I don't get waiting until the 1st to make them. If you are going to make a change, start that day. Don't wait. However I did make some for this year. Some that I will do my best to reach!
Dear Friend,
If your goal is to lose fat as fast as humanly possible, it should be no surprise that you absolutely MUST learn to maximize the amount of time your body is actually burning fat. After all, if your body is actively burning fat for 10 hours each day, you'd get much faster results than if it were only burning fat for five.
But what if you could literally burn fat twenty four hours a day…every day?
Do you realize how much faster you'd progress? How much more quickly the fat would melt away? How much more rapidly you'd have the body you want?
WEIGHT LOSS
