Tips for Keeping Your Fitness ResolutionsOne week into the new year and already you’ve chowed down on a dozen brownies and
missed going to the gym? Don’t be too hard on yourself, but don’t give up on the diet andexercise resolution either. Follow this advice:
• Be realistic. If you’re trying to drop 20 pounds, don’t try to lose it all in a month. Set yoursights on losing no more than a pound or two a week.
• Set specific goals. Don’t say you’ll exercise more. Instead, commit to walking 30 minutesduring your lunch break three days a week.
• Find a partner. You’ll find sticking to your resolutions easier with a mutual supportsystem. Get together with a buddy who’s trying to accomplish the same goals and give eachother encouragement and company.
• Log your progress. Writing down how much weight you’ve lost, or how many timesyou’ve gone to the gym in the past week gives you a sense of accomplishment— and theencouragement to keep going. Also, it helps you to track any trouble spots and allows youto find solutions.

Then you can’t a%ord a DUI ei-ther.There’s a world of grief, ex-
pense, and a lot of time andtrouble with a DUI. If you getone, you are guaranteed tospend the next year or so cop-ing with the consequences.The cost in dollars of a drunk
driving conviction is stagger-ing. Alcohol.org estimates thecost of a drunk driving convic-tion to be $10,000 to $25,000.
But in some states the cost ismuch higher.Here are some of the costs in
terms of money and time:• You’re going to jail. Bailyourself out for $100 to$2,500.• Bail your car out of im-pound: $100 to $1,200.• Hire an attorney. $1,500 to$5,000.

Successful relationships are built on a foundation of honest, thoughtfulcommunication. Whether you’re contemplating a business partnership ormarriage, here are some questions to ask before entering into a long- termcommitment with another person: • What makes him/her angry? How does the person deal with anger? • How does the person react in a crisis? • How does he or she handle money? • What does the other person expect from you? What might happen if those
expectations aren’t met? • What are the other person’s goals? • What are three things he/she would like to accomplish in the immediate
future, and in the long term?
Know this before making a major commitment
When and where to pay cash
• Tipping.
