January 1st is just two days away, so spend some time today getting ready for it.

If your New Year's resolution involves diet or fitness, the best thing you can do for yourself today is make a plan. Get out a notebook and write down your long-term goal ... maybe your goal weight or future jean size.

Then spend some time hashing out your short-term goals. Where do you want to be in a month? Now write down specific steps you're going to take to reach that first goal (i.e. "I will walk 30 minutes, five days a week.").

When 2009 officially hits, you'll be ready with a plan in hand. You can do it!
