I'm getting really excited....just four more days until the new year. I always get motivated this time of year. It's so easy to fall out of those good habits...and eventually by the time the year ends, you realize you need to get back on track. Then there's that 'blank page' when January one rolls around, and it's this whole new feeling of getting to start fresh...I love it!
One way to help throughout the year is to track your success using a calendar. It doesn't matter what kind of calendar...weekly, etc...whatever works for you. Make this calendar for your health and exercise and nothing else, that way it's not all crowded with other events and such. I prefer one that I can see the whole month on one page.
So what should you track? Well, when you weigh in, body measurements, track what days you exercise (you can include what you did; i.e. aerobics, upper body workout, etc). Be sure to include when you eat out at restaurants...record where you went and briefly what you ate. This will help you to 'remember' when you do that...because it should not be something done on a regular basis, but a 'treat' you reward yourself with for all that hard work!
By being able to go back each month, you can review and re-evaluate your goals and tweak them to assist you in reaching each one! Getting in shape and better health doesn't have to be boring. It's what you make it....what your attitude is toward it...the dedication you put into it, and your day to day, week to week and month to month results that really get the job done.
I hope you have decided to resolve to be healthier in 2013. Read the challenge that I spoke of in my earlier blog posting. Need encouragement? Email me...I'd love to help! Angel4Indy@aol.com (put 'Health Challenge' in the subject line) Best to all in the coming year...be sure to check back often as I will certainly be adding more!
