jackBeeminder tracks resolutions of any sort.
It's built on the idea that you can precommit to paying a monetary penalty (to charity). I found even mentioning that idea was a bit overkill, and simlpy signing up was a sufficient commitment, but if you want to make a resolution and fear you may simply forget about it it may be useful.
I decided to track my gym-going there as well fitocracy. I've only done it for one week, but it seems a fairly good idea for recording "have I kept this resolution or not" and I intend to try it for any other habits I want to cement.
I found the interface very confusing, though. I expected "I want to do this twice a week" to be really obvious (especially given the cute little bee icon!) but it seemed jargon-y (there were three or four suggested 'get started' but it wasn't obvious to me what the differences were). I have a feeling I may have missed an introductory "get started by doing this" page or something.

Date: 2012-12-10 05:50 pm (UTC)I think it's default setting is to maintain an average rate of whatever you tell it, so yes. But I intend to stick to my primary criterion of "at least twice a week, except when I'm away", it won't match that exactly, but it should be good enough: extra gym sessions can offset the time over christmas when I'm not here.
Long term, if I see I'm way above the average, I may set a more ambitious target over a year, but I don't want to try rethinking my goals yet.
