Well it’s here - 2009 - What will we resolve to do this year? Will it be the same as last year? Will we be able to actually follow through on our resolutions?
If it’s to exercise, eat healthy, live healthy - then you should follow through. How else will you feel better, have more energy and live a longer, better quality of life?
I say: "Just do It ". You know you can. You can do anything you put your mind to…seriously. If you need help doing it call a personal trainer. Even for just three sessions to get you started, or to show you how to get started. Anything to make it happen. Otherwise, it’ll be like every other year. Resolutions come and go with no result unless YOU MAKE THEM HAPPEN.
Yes, it’s that time, no matter what you celebrate, you’re in the midst of it now. Gathering with family and friends, we can’t help but indulge in the food and drink that is most harmful to us. Go ahead, indulge…but remember to keep it to a day or two and not to skip your workout.
It’s okay to let yourself go a few days a year. If its not your every day norm, it’s makes the celebration even more special when you have that decadent dessert and more than one glass of wine. Keep it in moderation and don’t drink and drive!
On New Years day, organize your schedule to workout at least three times per week, clean out your kitchen cupboards and fridge of those leftover ‘bad’ foods and go on with your life. Don’t look back and don’t feel guilty about it because now you’re on your way to a healthy lifestyle.
