I try to live a good lifestyle, because with resolutions I think you sort of set yourself up for failure. You say, "I'm going to resolve to do this and do it at this time," and you put it in a box. I think it becomes really difficult. I just don't do resolutions. It's definitely not a diet. As far as diet and exercise is concerned, I try to make that a year-round thing before waiting until January.

It’s funny — I used to make them years ago, but I feel like you make ’em, you break ’em. I don’t really believe in them, because I don’t want to break anything. If I put something out there, I might break it, and that would just break my heart. Someone asked me what I would wish for this holiday, and I said more sleep. That I would love, especially having a newborn!

I don't believe in going out on New Year's because my philosophy is I want to start the very first day of the new year in the right state of mind, body and spirit. I stay home and I watch the year come to an end safely. And on New Year's Day I literally never take it off. I've been like that since I was 16. I just like to be fresh, wake up early, go to the gym and just prepare for my year.

(Debi) We don't do New Year’s resolutions. I never keep them if I do it on New Year's. And then I get mad at myself. I just don't think I need to appoint that one day. I'm dealing with kids. If we decide to do something –– like on a cleanse –– that's something we can do anytime of the year.

(Gabriele) I have two kids; there's no resolution I can keep!

The three that I constantly go through is learn to speak fluent Spanish, read the entire Bible — Old and New Testaments — start to finish and learn to do a back handspring in gymnastics. And every year I fail at this. I feel like what I need to do is just get a good gymnastics coach and a Spanish language Bible. Or maybe I need a Latino preacher, who is also a gymnastics coach, to read verses to me in Spanish while I'm on the parallel bars.

I feel like my New Year’s resolution is the same thing every year: not to take life so seriously. I'm a Virgo and so very much a perfectionist, and I like to be in control of things, so I'm always trying to just relax a little bit more and enjoy the moments for what they are. I feel like every January if I had one overall goal or way to better myself this year, I just want to stop and smell the roses.

But as far as actually checking things off a list, no. Find me one person that's really good at that, right?
