New Year's Resolutions 2009

Have you not set any New Years resolutions? It is not too late! Even though New Years passed, look at your life and consider what areas may need improvement. Plus, it is a good time to look back and congratulate yourself on your accomplishments. When setting goals look at all aspects of your life: physical, spiritual, psychological, social, emotional, financial, and professional.

When you set your goals-pretend there is nothing stopping you. If there were no obstructions, what would you do with your life? Who do you want to be? How do you want to spend your days on earth?

If you have trouble staying on a fitness program. Try starting with small steps. Maybe shoot to workout once/week every week for sixth months. Once you accomplish that maybe you will be ready and motivated to try 2-3 times/week. The body responds well to consistency and progression. If you are someone who works out for two weeks then does not get to the gym for months-this is not very good. You may want to reconsider your efforts. You will accomplish a lot more in the long run if you go one step at a time. The advantage of working out consistently is that you can improve and sustain your health and fitness. When you wait more than 10 days you will lose the strength and endurance you have gained.

Or

Instead of ordering the Double Quarter Pounder with cheese, try ordering a single Quarter Pounder with Cheese. Another way of saying this, is to cut your calories in small increments. Try cutting 500 calories per day, this works a lot better than starving yourself.

Small steps like these go a long way and we actually respond a lot better to the healthy improvements, because we can adjust easily, without putting stress on our well-being:)

To a Healthy and Successful New Year.
