Well I can't believe it is Jan. 4th already. I have to say that I am pretending today is Jan. 1st. My kids are back to school and now I will set my new routine into "GO" mode. Tony Horton is a good friend of mine and I read his blog this morning and found what he had to say about New Year's Resolutions to be spot on. I wanted to share it with you. If you need some accountability, advice, tips, to get an extra boost in your fitness, I'm here for you. Happy New Year!!!
Day 1 by Tony Horton
Day 1 Here it is... 2010. Now what? New year, new decade and new opportunities. Everyone knows by now that the start of a new year creates the desire to be a better person. Smoking, drinking, bad eating habits, procrastinating, better work habits, spend less, save more, get fit, lose weight, and so it goes. Enthusiasm that will last well into April. Turns out that long term change is really hard and falling into old habits can happen with very little pressure from the outside world. Turns out that success comes to those with good mentors, a rock solid plan that fits your lifestyle, a means to stay accountable, and surrounding yourself with like-minded people. Many many folks with the best of intentions have been winging it year after year with little or no change. I meet far too many people who have fallen off the wagon. They were on the program but something happened and before you know it 3 or 4 weeks went by and 10 to 15 pounds come back and they're right back where they were. Sound familiar? 1. Follow the person and/or program that makes sense to you. 2. Write down a plan that forces you to stick with your goals for the next 12 months. 3. Finds 3 ways to stay accountable even under the most adverse conditions 4. Run from lazy naysayers and find people who want more out of life. Do It ~ Bring It!
