    Skip the workout sessions and bike rides. Instead, sit down here and enjoy a lager with your movie. A great companion to the "maybe next year" fitness plan.

    2235 5th Avenue, Seattle, WA 98121 (map)

    An obvious choice for those seeking a slimmer physique. This hip Belltown gym offers classes taught by former Cirque du Soleil members and features a cool fitness sandpit.

Eat Healthfully

  1. 7 4.5 Star Rating: Recommended Wedgwood Broiler

    8230 35th Ave NE, Seattle, WA 98115 (map)

    Eating champions can step up to the 72-ounce steak dinner challenge, where contestants must finish the steak, tomato juice, soup, salad, fries, bread, ice cream and coffee within an hour--or pay for the entire meal. 72 ounces never hurt anyone, right? There are plenty of other resolutions that need some attention this year anyhow...

  2. 8 5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended Central Co-op's Madison Market
    Read Reviews

    1600 E Madison St, Seattle, WA 98122 (map)

    This seriously healthy place to eat and shop offers organic, freshly-made and locally-grown products.

Save Money

  1. 9 3.5 Star Rating: Average Club Hollywood Casino

    16716 Aurora Ave N, Shoreline, WA 98133 (map)

    Doesn't seem like the place to go if you are looking to build up your savings account; but then again, you never know, right? Nightly tournaments for those who are feeling lucky.

  2. 10 4.5 Star Rating: Recommended Gorditos Healthy Mexican Food

    213 N 85th St, Seattle, WA 98103 (map)

    $5 buys you a burrito the size of a house cat... more than enough to feed two people. This is wise way to save some scratch in the new year.
