Think I'm going to have to try this with my water intake. I've been trying forever to make a habit of drinking at least 2 litres of water a day. Usually I'm pretty good for a week or so and then slip out of the habit. Maybe having a chart on my fridge would help me to remember. One question... can I have a gold star when I remeber?? ;) Vickie Good idea Em. Think I’m going to have to try this with my water intake.

Perhaps lifestyle-changing would have been a better phrase to use. Serious life-changing <em>is</em> something to be worked on everyday, not trialled over a month. But I think that increasing my fruit and veggie intake isn't really going to make me a better person, just hopefully a healthier one. Indeed.

I agree that anything tagged as "a new year resolution" is likely to be unrealistically impulsive. On the other hand, it is not a good idea to judge your subsequent progress on such resolutions, as so many people do - after all, how much of your life improves every day <i>without</i> you making such decisions? Me, I focus on that instead. I'll be far happier day to day thinking about what I'm achieving right now rather than promising myself to "be nicer to little old ladies" or whatever the heck comes to mind mid-December. If your life really needs changing to such a degree, you should be doing it at all times of the year, shouldn't you?
