"New Years Resolutions" 2010

"New Years Resolutions" who hasn't made one at least once in their life!! Resolutions are easy to make when you are toasting the new year with your friends!!! Keeping them, that is another matter. Most everyone resolves to loose weight, get in shape, quit smoking or drinking alcohol, save money, etc. So many people make these resolutions, that the gyms are usually packed for the first few weeks of each new year. Slowly, the newcomers dwindle away as they resort back to their old habits. The problem is that it is hard for anyone to take on such a challenge.

Changing your life is not so easily done. It takes at least 30 days to make a habit, and the same amount of time to break it. Unfortunately, most people do not stick with their "well-meant" plans that long. In order to loose weight, you must change your habits !! You cannot continue to eat with wild abandon while sitting around !!! It just doesn't work that way !! On the other hand, you cannot loose 20 pounds in two weeks!!

This year, try a different approach !!! One easy method is to do what a person who has the characteristics you want does!!! For instance, a slim person does not overeat, they eat healthy foods, they work out...you get my point. Be buddies with a friend who also wants to loose weight, and get in shape. Go to the gym together, grocery shop, and have lunch together. Do these things on a regular basis. Hold each other accountable for what you are putting in your refrigerator, and your mouth. When you get together, challenge each other to do 100 crunches, do some sprints, etc !!!

Make your resolutions come to fruition, by making them fun, enjoyable, and easy!!! Eat smart, and exercise with good form to achieve positive results !!! Good luck, and may you be a slimmer, healthier person when we celebrate "New Years  2011" !!!
