New Year, New You


Thinking about your New Year’s Resolution for 2013? Check out the New Year, New You display on the second floor on the library!


Have trouble keeping your New Year’s Resolutions? Check out these free apps that will help keep you on target.

Health & Fitness
My Fitness Pal App
With MyFitnessPal's free Calorie Counter, you keep a food diary that shows how much you can eat and still lose weight, and you'll have it with you everywhere you go.
Fitocracy (iPhone Only)
A fitness app that uses social tools and gamification to make working out easier. By automatically including friends and adding a similar level of competition that you’d find in a video game, Fitocracy keeps users focused on their goals without having to focus on the pain of working out regularly.
Breathe 2 RelaxBreathe2Relax App
 Breathe2Relax is a portable stress management tool. Built on the iPhone mobile app platform, Breathe2Relax is a hands-on diaphragmatic breathing exercise. 
Finance
Mint.com app
Mint.com's free app helps you get a handle on how much money is coming in, and how much goes out. With the app, you can enter purchases as you make them to keep an accurate account of spending. 
Organization
Astrid.com
Lists are your best friend when it comes keeping a resolution -- and even more valuable if your resolution is to get organized. Todoroo's free Astrid app keeps track of your work and personal to-dos, and syncs them across all the devices in your life (smartphone, tablet and computer). You can speak new entries instead of spending the time typing, and even can make lists public to share with friends.
