New Years Healthy Resolutions

Many people make New Years resolutions to eat a healthy diet and improve their fitness but start to waver a few weeks after New Years. Even though its easy to resolve to get fit and healthy, its hard to stay committed to keeping those New Years resolutions to start eating a healthy diet and to get fit. There are some easy ways to stay on track and meet your goals of eating healthier and staying or getting fit.

Get the Family Involved

It sounds simple, but it can be difficult to get the whole household on board with your plans to eat healthier food and get fit. Its a lot easier to eat healthy meals when everyone in the family is eating the same healthy meals. If you are the only one in the house trying to eat more healthy foods and youre still preparing meals filled with fried or high fat food for everyone else youll be tempted to eat what theyre eating. The same thing goes for snacks. Eating a healthy snack of fruit or vegetables looks less appealing when everyone else is eating chips or pizza. Getting in the habit of exercising regularly will be easier if someone else in the family is exercising with you. Try taking a walk around the neighborhood as a family or take your partner running with you. Exercising is more fun when its not done alone. Many gyms and fitness centers offer special rates for families, so make time during the week for the whole family to hit the gym and take a yoga class, go swimming, play basketball, or just workout with weights. Joining a gym will make sure that there is an activity that everyone in the family will enjoy. Having family support is the best way to keep those New Years resolutions to eat healthy and get fit.

Use the Calendar

It may sound like a wacky idea, but a great way to stay on track to meeting your New Years resolutions to eat better and get fit is to get a large wall calendar, the type that shows the whole month or the whole year at one time. Take a red or yellow marker and put a big X on the calendar everyday that you exercise, and use a different colored market to put an X on each day that you eat healthy. After awhile, when your motivation starts to wane, looking at the calendar and the chain of Xs will motivate you to exercise and eat healthy in order to keep the chain going. The calendar can also help keep other family members motivated to eat better and exercise as well.

Reward Yourself

To help keep your motivation high to meet your New Years resolutions of eating healthy and getting fit reward yourself when you meet particular goals. In the beginning, make a list of diet and fitness goals you want to achieve. When you achieve them, reward yourself with a non food item like flowers, a new plant, new clothes, a new workout DVD, a gym membership, or some other fun item that will help keep you motivated to keep going. A great reward can be treating yourself to an introductory class in something that might become a new hobby for you. When you lose five pounds, try taking a ceramics class, a horseback riding lesson, or a belly dancing class. When you eat healthy for an entire month with no slip ups, take a healthy cooking class or a class on organic gardening.
