Have some New Year's Resolutions?
Make sure they're SMART:

1. Specific. Say "eat at least 5 fruits and veggies a day" instead of "eat better".
2. Measurable. If you're more specific about your goals, success will be apparent. Keeping track of you progress helps too.
3. Achievable. Make sure it's possible for you to achieve. No point in setting yourself up for failure.
4. Realistic. You can only do so much. Use your resources to help you determine what you can realistically pull off.
5. Timely. Give yourself deadlines - realistic deadlines :-)
