Is making New Year's resolutions a good idea?

New Year's resolutions are they a good idea or setting yourself up for failure - and how do you go about making change the right way?

Are you planning on making any? It might be a good idea says one local psychiatrist.

Doctor Howard Belkin breaks down the four steps to successful resolutions:
 
1. Do you for yourself.
2. Expect failure.
3. Be realistic, set realistic goals
4. Always look for support

So using those four steps Deena is resolving to exercise more for her health.  Realistically she will try and add only one more gym visit to her week, and look to my workout buddy Jennifer for support.
