How to Set Goals You Can Meet
I resolve to...eat more fish.
I resolve to...try kettlebells.
I resolve to...take a 30-second time-out.
I resolve to...spend a minute a day doing the plank.
I resolve to...go to bed angry.
I resolve to...learn to take a compliment.

I resolve to...eat more fish.

Trade chicken for fish that's rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon, tuna, or mackerel, two nights a week. Researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston found that eating just one to two 3-ounce servings of fatty fish weekly can reduce the risk of dying from heart disease by 36 percent.

For a hassle-free fillet, try this technique from food writer and cook Mark Bittman, author of The Food Matters Cookbook. Place a 4-ounce fillet in the center of a rectangular piece of aluminum foil (about 12 by 18 inches). Sprinkle it with one teaspoon each of sesame oil and soy sauce, then fold the foil to seal the fish inside, leaving some room in the packet for air to circulate. Place the packet in a baking dish and cook at 450 degrees for about 20 minutes.

Just tried my new kettlebell today, and I loved it. It was something different, and it worked new muscles. I usually do weights, boxing & cardio. Great way to mix it up!
