Highlights

A brand new year, the same old resolutions. I can recite my yearly resolutions without even thinking about it: start running again, eat more healthfully, shed a few pounds. Perhaps youve been through the cycle. I start dedicated and determined, but gradually return to old habits like curling up on the couch after work and ordering take-out. I take solace in the fact that I’m not the only one. According to some research, 45 percent of American adults make one or more resolutions each year. By June, less than half of them are continuing their efforts to lose weight, exercise or stop smoking, which are the top three resolutions, by the way.
