Don’t you know Resolutions are bad for you?!?  Because you think you have to stick to it for 365 days!  30 days of Lent is hard enough. 

I am not setting a resolution for the whole year.  I am, however, setting monthly goals.  If I resolve to lose 30 lbs in January… I still have until December 31 to lose it, so resolutions don’t work for me.

I figured I’ll take baby steps and start with cutting out half my sugar for the month of January.  Maybe move into February with walking 10 miles a week.  Start weight training in March… etc.  That way, I’ll meet 12 goals for the year and try to carry the new change over to the next month.  If I’m good, I’ll carry at least 6 new healthy habits into 2009.
