Keeping Resolutions.
It’s no secret that most resolutions are made to be broken. The most common of these broken resolutions is nutrition and fitness. Most people make them and quickly break them. January is the time of year Personal Trainers and Fitness Clubs look forward to, because many people enroll for programs and only show up 2 or 3x.
I fell off the fitness band wagon for awhile and as a Certified Personal Trainer it’s important for me to look, act, and feel healthy in order to inspire my clients. So this year my resolution is to “Get back in shape and have fun doing it!”. This is my plan:
1. Incorporate cardio and strength training in my routines
2. Change my routine every 2 weeks, so I won’t get bored
3. Trying something new (kemetic yoga, indoor rock climbing, surfing, ect.)
4. Keep fattening foods and snacks on the supermarket self’s and not in my kitchen
5. Portion Control!!
6. Snack smart. (My fav. 100 calorie pack popcorn)
7. Continue my education by becoming certified in sports nutrition and children’s fitness
8. Stay away from fad diets and change my lifestyle
9. Have fun!! Because the moment I stop having fun is the moment that I will want to give up
10. Push through….I will keep in mind my goals at all times, so I won’t give in to temptation or think of giving up half way thru workouts
It won’t be an easy road but I know that from experience. (After losing over 100 pounds.) I remember what’s it’s like to be over 250 pounds and what’s it’s like to be 150….I prefer being in the 100’s! So just remembering that feeling will motivate me. You have to find your motivation and keep it in mind and heart at all times!
