This year I’m working on actually setting some goals (not one of my strengths). I’m going to keep track of them on my blogs, and whether I fail or succeed, at least I’ll have a written record, so I can analyze what worked and what didn’t.

Flexo, I’d go a step further and suggest the root of problem is that you really don’t want to change (Hey, I’m in the same boat on this point!).

We’d all like to lose some weight to be healthier, but do we really want to? If we really wanted to, wouldn’t we get organized, schedule exercise time, eat healthier food, and stick to it? Unfortunately we don’t, which indicates to me that we’d only like to be healthier. Few of us actually want it enough to make the sacrifices required to succeed.

As far as resolutions go, not only are they meaningless, but we can really shoot ourselves in the foot by waiting to change. Recently, I put a post up that covered the dangers of delaying until resolution time.
