For me this year, it's all about finally kicking these demon ciggies and losing weight/getting fit.
And while some days it really doesn't feel like fun (after all, what's life without my only surviving vices, taunts the sneaky she-devil on my shoulder), what I've learned is that support and encouragement are king when trying to break lifelong bad habits.
So who better to tap for inspiration and advice than you, our amazing Ys Community.
Do you have advice on how to kick the durries for good. Are you the weightloss king or queen who managed to keep it off?
Or, like my incredibly inspirational colleague George (From a stroke, to peak fitness in my 60s), did you make the necessary health changes to save your life?
Come on guys, get involved! Help me and your fellow YsFriends stay motivated and on track in 2018, we'll love you for it!
