Healthy and Fit in 2006: Seven Steps to Keeping Those Fitness and Weight Loss Resolutions

Want to be fit in 2006? Here's a seriously very simple way to make your fitness and physical exercise goals a reality.

A further year has come and gone. The New Year is upon us. A
time filled with fresh hope and anticipation. This year will
be greater for me. I WILL lose ___lbs. I WILL exercise
often. I WILL eat healthy. I WILL ....

Eventually the comforting voice of the past speaks out, "Oh
certain. Just like each and every other year. Save yourself the pain
of failure. Just forget all that and have another cookie."

For some of us this voice speaks out sooner than for other people.
The excuses start to trickle in, then they pour in like
flood waters and before you know it you have fallen off the
resolution wagon. Let's change issues this year. Let's
resolve to be fit in 2006!

Sounds superb Christina but what's going to make this year
different? Properly for 1 thing I think you are finally
fed up enough with the way things have been, (otherwise you
wouldn't still be reading!). And for an additional thing you have
me now. I want to help guide you past the discomfort and
frustration and help you finally attain your fitness goals.

An added bonus is that as soon as you begin to see physical
outcomes, mental, emotional and oftentimes even spiritual
modifications start to happen. You start to alter fat into
muscle, your clothes hang additional loosely, you start getting
smaller sizes, you smile even more usually, your self confidence
builds up, you begin tackling other tasks on your objective list
and begin feeling a lot more empowered. Can you see where this
could take you?

Ready for your journey?
Let's break it down step by step.

1. Goal SETTING

Set realistic, distinct and achievable goals. Take modest
steps towards massive success. 1-2lbs per week is what you
will need to expect to lose. Anything far more will do a lot more harm and
could have the reverse impact. Taking things slow will be
tough for the reason that we want to lose the weight NOW. I know it
seems as although we gained it overnight but we did not.
Goals such as, 'I will lose five inches in 30 days' or, 'I will
exercise every morning this week' are certain and
attainable. Make goals every day, weekly, 30 day, 60 day....
Write your objectives down and review them every day.

2. VISUALIZATIONS AND AFFIRMATIONS.

These go along with your objectives. Produce a clear picture of
your self having already achieved your objectives. See yourself
in that size __ outfit. How do you really feel? How are you
walking? Head high? Smiling? Picture each detail and
burn it into your memory. Affirmations are alot more than very simple
positive statements we make. Affirmations develop up belief
in ourselves and belief is the key that gets our motors
running. Make affirmations in the present tense, positive,
short, particular and personalized with your name. Write them
down and repeat them normally with a lot of emotion and belief,
visualizing as you say them. Some examples are: I enjoy to
exercise just about every day I am in control of my eating I have
abundant energy and vitality I adore myself I derserve excellent
issues.

3. EAT HEALTHY.

You are what you eat. Do not starve your self. Your body
will sense the lack of nutrition and go into storage mode
slowing down your metabolism generating it impossible to lose
anything. Eat five to 6 modest meals each day, no even more than
three hours apart. This allows your body to utilize alot more
nutrients and speeds up your metabolism. It also keeps your
blood sugar levels stable therefore reducing cravings. Each
portion should really be no larger than your fist. To aid with
this change eat on smaller plates. Eat foods that are low
fat, high protein, and complex carbs such as brown rice,
whole grains and lots of vegies. Drink at least 64ozs of
water daily. Steer clear of fatty, sugary junk foods. Alcohol has
lots of calories so attempt to avoid it. Get lots of fiber.
This will keep you feeling full longer plus it will maintain you
normal. Take a multivitamin daily. A cheat day once in a
though, (i.e. each other Sunday), will not hurt. If you
actually have the urge to eat poor for you foods during the day
ask your self, "Is this momentary pleasure worth risking all
my efforts? Aren't I worth making lasting modifications for and
lastly reaching my goals?"

The answer of course is, YES YOU ARE!

4. Physical exercise Daily

This is nonnegotiable. Very first issue in the morning is the
very best time but no much less than 2 hours soon after a meal. Alternate
aerobics and strength training. Go for a 30-60 minute brisk
walk each other day and work out with weights or resistance
bands the next day for at least 30 minutes. Join a gym,
hire a personal, get a friend involed. Whatever it takes to
make you move it every day!

five. Change IT UP.

Selection is the spice of life. It will maintain you from burning
out and giving up. Alter your routine every 8-12 weeks.
This will keep you working harder longer and keeps your
workout fresh.

6. Keep A JOURNAL.

Write down all your hopes, dreams, doubts, successes and
failures. Maintain your affirmations in it as properly and read
them sometimes. Keep track of what works and what doesn't.
Write down every thing you're feeling. Your journal can be
your perfect friend via this time.

7. In no way GIVE UP.

If you miss a workout or eat something that is not in your
meal program don't fully throw in the towel. You are
worth fighting for. Write in your journal why you had been set
back and keep moving forward.

If you give up on physical exercise and healthy eating, you give up
on your self. Make this year distinctive. Stand up to
your self, for your self. No 1 can do it like you can!

------------------------------------------------------------

Alter is challenging and will need to come gradual. This is going to be
an uphill battle. Follw these steps to your success and see
your self at the leading, VICTORIOUS!

These actions seem effortless. This is the magic formula. Change
nothing and absolutely nothing modifications. Help is out there and not hard
to acquire. Follow this guide to a alot more healthy you and you'll
be FIT IN 2006!
