So you slipped up a bit and had second and err…third servings of Aunt Sally’s infamous caramel pecan pumpkin pie.  Once during Thanksgiving and again on Christmas Eve.  As you took bite after bite of its unctuous filling, crunchy topping, and toasty crust, you said to yourself, “What? It’s the holidays!” – a sentiment we ourselves echoed as we bit into our hot-out-of-the-oven ginger molasses cookies.  No matter how hard we try to stay on track, it’s not easy to resist all the delicious food that presents itself during the holidays. And it’s quite the slippery icing-covered slope.

Don’t fret. That’s what new years are for, right? After all, every orbit of the Earth around the Sun brings us a set of new resolutions, new diets, new studying habits, new lifestyles, new cleaning routines, new attitudes, and new just-about-anything-you-want-it-to-be.
