to be better.... i guess that'll be it for now
ReplyDeleteStop wasting your time following someone else's plan for you. Make your own plan based on realistic changes--if you can't follow your chosen diet for the rest of your life, you're wasting precious time.

Willpower is for short-term success. Long-term success requires planning, discipline and finding ways to motivate yourself every day.
ReplyDeleteMy New Year's resolution is to get on an exercise program and get into shape. But I've made similar promises to myself in the past and haven't been successful. Do you have any suggestions that might help me follow through?
ReplyDeleteNew Year's resolutions are easy to make but can be hard to keep, especially when the goal is to substitute new habits for old. To help with follow-through on exercise routines, I suggest starting with a personal trainer for guidance.
ReplyDeleteOne way to ensure that working out at home doesn’t become boring and stays fresh and exciting is to work out with a friend.

2. Take the dog for a walk every day
3. Keep a water bottle at your desk and fill it twice a day
4. Pack a homemade healthy lunch at least 3 times a week
5. Post your 7 favorite shake recipes on the fridge and have one every day
6. Take fish oils daily to check your cholesterol and blood sugar levels
7. Sign up to a dance class, club, or sport with your partner
8. Purchase sessions with a trainer so that you go to the gym regularly
9. Limit your treats to one day a week
10. Join a forum (example: fitness.com’s training forum, or Weight Loss Support Forum) to become more motivated
If you want to make a resolution to improve your diet or workout more, then that's great. I think that you should start this resolution right now! Not Monday, not tomorrow and certainly don't wait till next month. If something is important then why put it off? However I realize that many people aren't going to take this good (great) advice. If you insist on using the well being of your body as a New Year's resolution then I advise you to write down the reasons for doing this (longer life, less pain, etc) and re read them from time to time. Remind yourself that you are doing this for a purpose! Not just because it sounds good when someone asks you what your New Year's resolution is.
ReplyDeleteGetting fit is one of the most common resolutions, and it seems to be one of the toughest to keep.

ReplyDeleteHere are Three Goal Making Tips to Get You Started in 2011
ReplyDeleteStart the first month by making small weekly goals.
Make realistic goals. Nothing is more demotivating then not being able to reach a goal.
Tell you friends. Don't keep your fitness goals a secret! It's understandable that you want to surprise your friends and family with a new buff bod the next time that they see you but I will guarantee that they will be surprised no matter what! If you tell people what you are up to, then you have a bit of pressure to make it happen. If no one knows, it is easier to quit because nobody else knows you gave up but yourself.
My top 5 resolutions: drink more water, get more sleep, exercise regularly, stop worrying unnecessarily & achieve a clear, glowing complexion.
ReplyDeleteEverything that is done in moderation is not bad for the body, and it’s the same with exercise. Do not overstretch or overwork your body. Give it ample rest and follow a proper diet.
