New Year New Me

It’s been the number one resolution year after year…weight loss and fitness.

I wonder why people wait until January to proclaim their new goal, new life, and new body.

Whatever the reason, it just is.

So this past week was the number one diet week of the year. I’m hoping it goes longer than a week and people actually stick with a program.

A main reason people fall off the resolution wagon is a drastic change to their life. Its tough to form new habits, especially drastic ones.

I’ve seen it many times. People make the claim of 20 pounds lost by March, only to fizzle out by January 15th and be back to where they started.

Here are a few tips for you to maintain your diet and fitness for 2011.

1) Set goals for yourself. Make them measureable and with a deadline. Example, I will lose 10 pounds by March 1st. And write them down on paper.

2) Have a plan to achieve your goal- I will lose the 10 pounds by working out 4 times every week and eating smaller portions of food.

3) Set yourself up for success – Have food in your house that is high in protein, high in fiber and easily made.

Even prepare your next day meals the night before. Nothing ruins your success faster than being unprepared. If you are not prepared you are more likely to stop at fast food places and make high calorie, high fat choices. Not good.

4) Set your workouts as appointments to your day. If they are on your calendar with time blocked you are more likely to keep your appointment.

Better yet, schedule a friend to join you to ensure you make your workout appointment.

5) Make your goals achievable. I see many people make ridiculous goals in January, only to fail quickly and be discouraged.

Make yours reasonable and achievable. If you need help with goal setting, please call me and we can work through your plan together.

6) Hire a trainer for accountability. So it may cost a few dollars, but who better to get you started and keep you focused on your goals.

Really, summer is not far away and we know you want to have that beach body. It’s best to start with an expert now.

Happy New Year to you all. I wish you the greatest of success, fitness and wellness for this new year.
