OR
You could forget any of these all or nothing resolutions and pick one small change you could make from the following and just work successfully on that instead:
- Have at least one alcohol free night a week
- Twice a week replace your normal sweet treat with some fruit
- Do 30 minutes of activity twice a week
- Get up an hour earlier once a week and go for a walk
- Eat two handfuls of vegetables / salad with every breakfast, lunch and dinner
