I don't think resolutions have to be all that important, just reflective of something an individual might want to change, plan ahead for...etc...not neccessarily about them, as a person...I agree on the whole quitting smoking type things, and health related stuff, no sooner should the thought occur, it should be put into practice...but there's other stuff too.
I mean, I don't personally do the "resolutions" thing, I mean, why is it of any more relevance in the new year?
but...I tend to think about things that I'd like to change/do more of/less of, and all that, in advance, if I give myself solid goals then it's something to strive for...sometimes it's hard to make good on each and every thought/idea in the immediate time of conception (eg - sticking with studies, something I can't do 'til my college is back in, the boxing thing well, info's needed there, the live performance stuff, gotta wait for some good stuff to come along), in fact, most of what I said (just to post in here) is pretty much already underway, but still, I tend to set goals here and there just to keep things rolling in the right direction for me, I work better with structure.
But yeah...the whole "do this in the new year" thing, I've seen people get into the new year fads, and you're right, there's an initial interest, then loss thereof for the better part. Best to know what you want, and do what you can to get 'em started ASAP. If a person is unhappy with themselves for some reason, they can't just say "new years = I am a new person", takes more effort than that.

Smoke the rest of what you have now, and don't buy another pack. Eat fresh, cut down on takeaway, walk or bike ride at night. All small, easy stuff that anyone can do, at any time. The smoking thing (as I've been lead to understand it), quitting makes you feel like shit, and it's pretty hard. I assume ditching ANY chemical dependance aint great (I know how it is with caffeine), and fucks with the routine you and your body are used to...but...it's just as hard any time of year. Like I said, when it's health related, best to take measures (even small ones) to fix it straight away.
