New Year's resolutions that pay off

Take on the new year with these wellness finds.

Ever notice how your New Year's resolutions sound like a pie in the sky by February? It's not that you're not trying, but sometimes your goals are too big and, dare we say, a tad bit unrealistic. So, how do you set exciting goals that stick with you all year?

The answer: not too hard, not too easy, just right. Your resolutions should be realistic and measurable–challenging yet achievable with the right amount of effort. Don't resolve to eat healthier. Instead, limit your weekly soda intake or swap your usual snack for a healthier option. Want to increase physical activity? Take 30 minutes every day for a brisk walk.

Here are 3 achievable New Year's resolutions to keep you on track toward better health and fitness habits in the upcoming year.
