I started reading your journal yesterday, after I made my resolution (I am aware of your post, Blaine) and I thought both this and the last entry were really good. I am going to continue reading. Thanks for the great tips! As for Blaine's comment: I agree with your post completely, but I guess I'm doing my resolution a little differently, hopefully it works out! Great post.

Instead of resolutions, I'm looking to cultivate some new habits to replace some of my bad habits now that I've gotten the weight taken care off. Lots of good advice in your post, Israel.

I weigh and measure once a week. Re: resolutions - I didn't make any, however I do have some goals. It might sound like a resolution however I think that many make a resolution but aren't 100% committed to making the changes, so they don't follow through and persist when the going gets tough. As far as my goals go, I'm eating clean and off of the processed food, or what I call dead food. Off of the refined sugar, white flour, additives, preservatives, added salt, unhealthy fats, and dairy. This really isn't a resolution for me because I need to live this way if I want to keep off the weight that I lose....dead, processed food won't help me feel great or lose weight, and when I eat it I gain weight because a little is never enough.

I've seen it year in and year out. Why does it take a date to get off your ass and make it happen? Having goals is different than resolutions. There is some great info on this blog, so people should read it and apply it. I agree with you blaine! I’ve seen it year in and year out.

The Spring or early Summer is a much better time, since January goals encourage procrastination and the weather can be demotivating or even downright dangerous. I do set some annual goals around this time, but that is mostly because I am in between seasons and have the time to look ahead for what I want to be doing for the next year. If you are going to be creating resolutions, break it down into bite size pieces and figure out what you need to do each month so that your goals will be attainable and won't fall by the wayside. I think that all 5 of your tips are great steps towards doing that.
