With the new year arriving in a few days, many people will consider making resolutions for 2012.
Some of the popular ones include resolving to lose weight, quit smoking, spend less money, volunteer time with a charitable cause and exercise more.
A University of Washington study in 1997 found 47 percent of the 100 million adult Americans who made resolutions gave up on their goals after two months. This figure has grown to 80 percent in the past decade, according to recent research completed at the University of Minnesota.
And so it seems that our good intentions often fall by the wayside.
