New Years Resolutions

Many of us make New Year's resolutions to be more fit or eat better, and many of us have already broken one or more. It is the third day of the New Year, and no doubt, many folks out there have already broken a New Year's Resolution. The resolutions most rapidly broken involve better health, diet or fitness regimens. Rudy Macklin, director of the Governor Office of Physical Fitness, says we need to be realistic about setting those kinds of goals. Macklin says a health or fitness related resolution made in haste on New Year's Eve is one we subconsciously do not take seriously, and so we break them. (He says to plan out your resolutions in advance and map out a strategy for meeting those goals.) Macklin says it is never too late to make a resolution, so do not link your accomplishments to the New Year holiday. He says friends and loved ones can also be tremendous help in keeping with those fitness or health resolutions.
