If you’re like most people, this is the time of year when you make big promises to yourself. “I’ll lose 50 pounds.” Or “I’ll run the Boston Marathon.” Or “I’ll stop drinking diet soda.” Resolving to get fit and stay healthy is one of the best things you can do for yourself. But there will come a time when a little voice in your head will try to tell you your goal is too hard… or that you have something better to do.
