Resolution. It has got to be achievable without too much alteration in your general habits. Thus declaring that you will lose 4 stones is harder than saying you want to lose weight. Being specific only makes it harder to stick to.
 Last year I managed to stick to one resolution and that was to write down all my daily expenditure in an effort to see where I was able to become more frugal.
 This year I plan not to spend in charity shops until Easter. Also no alcohol in January. I wonder if those that know me can guess which I will struggle with most!
Happy New Year.
