New Years Resolutions...

We've all made them. Grand proclamations of the good person, fit person, organized person we will become on the magical day known as January 1st. Since New Years is only a few weeks away I thought this would make a great topic.

Change, true lasting change takes time. Sure you can say that after the first of the year you will never ever ever eat a cheeseburger again...well you know what...YOU WILL. We make these promises to ourselves that we can never keep. Telling yourself that you will never cheat on your diet, or that you will never miss a workout is just setting yourself up to fail.

The reality is that you will slip on your diet, you will miss some workouts and you might even fall off the wagon all together. The important thing isn't what you don't do...it's what you do. It's how you handle the slip ups that will determine your success.

If you've decided that January 1st will be your start day for your new diet/exercise program then do this...start making small changes today. Cut back on fat and sugar...switch your white bread for whole wheat...white pasta for wheat pasta. Start this now...not on the 1st.

Next week start moving...start walking...get up and get moving. I don't care what you do...just move. Dance naked...doesn't matter! Keep up with the food changes you made this week, and then start moving! Next week is Christmas...enjoy your two days...Christmas Eve and Christmas Day...enjoy! Saturday...make sure you start moving again!

Decide what program you will start on the 1st of the year. Interested in Beachbody? I have lost 25 pounds and am still losing. I can help you pick a program and I can help keep you motivated. 2010 will be MY year and I'd love for it to be yours too.

Then on the 1st...add in your fitness program...stick with it...keep your food changes and make sure you add in your fruits and veggies and are drinking your water.

Making changes now, instead of all the changes on the 1st will make the transition easier.
