Did You Follow Through With Last Year's Resolution?

Posted: Jan 2nd 2009 6:30AM by Martha Edwards
Filed under: Your Turn


Each year on December 31st, we resolve to do something differently in the year ahead. And since some of us seem to be making the same resolutions over and over again, it seems we're not following through with these end-of-year promises. Or are we? I asked you that recently and here's what you had to say:

  • 53 percent of you followed through with last year's resolution -- and stuck to it! Good for you.
  • 19 percent of you followed through with it, but weren't able to keep it up. Bummer.
  • 6 percent of you tried your darnedest but couldn't do it -- it was more difficult than you thought.

Kudos to readers jjj and Andy -- they resolved to lose weight and were successful. Keep up the good work, guys!

Welcome to the last day of 2008. Is it just me or did this year whiz by at lightening speed? Besides breaking out a new calendar, you know what December 31st means -- breaking out some new resolutions. Last week, I was wondering what your healthy resolutions for 2009 will be, and here's what you had to say:

  • 29 percent of you want to lose weight. We've heard this one before.
  • 25 percent want to get in shape.
  • 18 percent want to adopt more healthy habits in general.
  • 6 percent want to take more time for themselves.

Whatever your resolution may be, do what you can to ensure that it doesn't wind up on your list next year, OK?

Filed under: Your Turn

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.

Well, it's just around the corner: 2008. I can hardly believe it -- seems like just yesterday we were ringing in 2007 -- or 2001 for that matter. Where does the time go?

This year, I bet many of you are making New Years resolutions, and I bet the majority of them are health and wellness-related. Myself, I'm resolving to take up more outdoor activities and eat more locally-grown foods. I'd also like to pursue more personal writing and photography.

What's you New Years resolution this year?

  • Play to your strengths Meaning have healthy alternatives available if you're an evening snacker, or if you're a social eater try to plan non-eating activities with friends.
