Your health and fitness is NOT something you should wait to start on (like "after the holidays" or "after the new years") it is something you start on IMMEDIATELY and for every day the rest of your life....
Start small, even, and pick one thing that you feel you could improve upon. This could be something like not eating less than two hours before bed time, cutting out fried and high fattening foods, limiting alcoholic beverages.
The worst thing you can do is be all "gung ho" and tell yourself you are going to exercise for 2 hours every day and not eat anything unhealthy. When you go to that holiday party, enjoy a small dessert or a glass of red wine. Do the best you can to get about 30-45 minutes of exercise 3-4 times per week (at least to start off with) instead of trying to commit yourself to 20 hours a week in the gym. Not giving yourself any breaks will, most likely, cause you to get frustrated and lose site of your goals.
Being accoutnable is very important. Find an activity partner or a small group class where the instructor and other members of the class will know if you're not there. Boot Camp U offers small class with lots of personal attention and most of the time, the trainers will send an email or give you a call when you miss to see if everything is OK.
