What's Keeping You from Getting Healthy This Year?

Posted on Jan 1st 2009 6:30AM by Martha Edwards

Here at That's Fit, we're constantly telling you what we think about things, but sometimes it's nice to know what you think. So from time to time, we'll ask you a question. Don't be afraid to speak up -- we love feedback.

I suppose I don't need to remind you that today is the first day of 2009 -- I suppose the fact that you don't have to go to work will help jar your memory. And while I don't want to be a downer on this festive day, I do want to help you get the year started right -- by honouring the resolutions you made yesterday, and the year before, and the year before ... you get the point. Make this year the last one you'll have to make those resolutions by following through with them.

The first step is being honest ... with yourself. Because you can't fix a problem if you don't know what it is. So 'fess up, what's holding you back?
