Most Failed New Years Resolutions In Texas

In Texas, folks love New Year's Resolutions. I don't mean to burst your bubble but, if you chose one of these; you may not make it.

I was hit and miss on New Year's Resolutions, then, about 15 years ago, I made one that has held up every single year since. The feeling of accomplishment is pretty cool and this year, I'm doing it again. My resolution? No more Resolutions.

Seriously, resolutions are great and the beginning of a new year is a great time to get 'em going. You've kind of got a clean slate. A new beginning. Blah, blah, blah ...

Some are easy, some are pretty tough but one common denominator is the fact that not everybody goes the distance. A buddy of mine's "no more pot" resolution lasted exactly 15 hours. Midnight to 3pm. (I think that may be a record.)

He said it helped his hangover and, for what it's worth, he did better with his "no more drinking" resolution. He got to the weekend with that one.

Which Resolutions Will Most Likely Fail?

According to Time, these resolutions are among the ones that people most often fail:

• Lose Weight/Exercise
• Quit Smoking (I used to smoke so, I know, this one's tough.)
• Eat Healthier/Diet
• More Family Time (No matter how much you spend with them, you can do better.)
• Travel
• Drink Less (Never had any interest in this one.)
