Re-planning Our Resolutions

     I read where New Year's Resolutions usually don't last until the end of the month.  One of my main goals this year was to encourage our family to live healthier through diet and exercise.  I'll have to admit that old habits are hard to break!  We are still using the reward charts.  All of us have around 40 stickers.  The pace at which we earn them is beginning to
