Are you making one?  Do you know the meaning behind the word?  Let's consider this first before we get ahead of ourselves and make promises that we can't keep.  After all, what was your resolution for 2010 and how did that turn out?  Of several definitions I found here are a couple that I really like:

Resolution:  1) a resolve or determination: to make a firm resolution to do something.  2) the mental state or quality of being resolved or resolute;firmness of purpose

With this in mind, what would a New Years resolution include for you?  Aiming high can help push you but also make sure you're not over promising yourself with unrealistic goals or impossible new lifestyles changes.  


Also be sure to make your goals measurable.  How many weeks will it take you to loose that extra weight?  How many days a week will you work out?  Be specific and attach time frames to your resolutions.


So, what have you resolved with firmness of purpose to do this new year?  Good luck!
