Happy New Year

There will be lots of sales on this week; go get some great new workout duds, then hit the gym. 

So here we are, another New Year out before us.  No doubt the gyms will be filled with all those folks made New Years Resolutions to get fit.  In the next few months many will fall to the wayside and their resolution will be another one that didn't quite work out.  Making a monumental life change can be hard; doing it all at once may be impossible.  How about taking steps towards your goal?  Often steps in the right direction work much better than a full and complete change in a day.

Getting fit and healthy needs to be a lifestyle change.  It is not a quick fix and can take months or even years to become 'your life.'  Ask me how I know; yes, it took me a long time to get to where I am now.  That realization that I am not dieting, depriving myself or having to work out to reach a goal that will end must come before you get to the 'this is my life' part. 

So many will start Monday off on a restrict diet; that may also be accompanied with hitting the gym.  Eating well and working out needs to fit into your life if you want it to work.  If you make it a bigger goal than is realistic, it may fail.  Strict diets can only last so long.  Crazy and unrealistic workout regimes can go the same way.  Think in the "I can do this" zone.  Don't ask so much of yourself that you simply can't do it. 

"You can do it" is what I have to say.  But only if you want it and you want to change your life.  Baby steps to success.  Now, think in terms of taking care of your body, you deserve it.   Feeling great by fueling yourself with healthy food; the food that your body deserves.  Exercising your body because leaving it sit idle means becoming weak and unable to do the things that you want to do in life.  Slow and steady wins the race.  ;)  Happy New Year, let's make it a great one.

Leave me a comment, love to hear from you.
