Well, it’s been a little over a week since most of us made our New Year’s resolutions, and I’m really wondering how everyone is doing with them. Personally, my resolution was to eat more fruit and do something active for at least ten minutes every day of the week. I’d have to give myself an A for my resolution efforts. While I’ve done something active each day, I haven’t been eating as much fruit as I’d like. I would say I’m eating more than I did before, but I’d still like to improve.

As I posted on the “Work~Life Balance” wall in the PMA community website, I really focus on making positive resolutions. Rather than saying, “don’t eat bad food,” I say, “eat more fruit.” Along similar lines, instead of making a resolution to work out more, I’m being more specific in my goal and asking myself to be active for at least 10 minutes each day. These goals are much easier to measure for me, and I feel more confident attaining them.

So, that’s how I’m doing with my New Year’s goals, or resolutions. How are you doing with yours? Or if you didn’t make any resolutions, I’d love to hear your thoughts on why you feel it’s not necessary.
