Around this time of yeara lot of you will start to make a parade of promises with regards to your fitness regimen, your diet, and your health. Some of you will stick to your new found routinewhile most will break those promises as quickly as you made them. It is because the start of a new year cannot bring about true change.
I thrive on deadlines and structure, butthe beginning of the new year means very little to me. It only serves to remind me that I haveput off doing thingsup until then and that tax season has crept a little closer. And foryou the new year will not magicallybring a new version of who you are.
I truly believe that change must come from within and not be exclusively governed by outside forces. Turning the page on a calendar will not make you healthier, fitter, leaner,smarter or a better person. Change is much tougher than that. If there was no effort required to change the way you look and feel then what have you really accomplished? You will still be the same person you were and eventually anygainswill disappear as you lapsebackinto your old habits.
It is not possible for a whim or a flip of the calendarto allow you to make the necessary adjustments which are essential to your success. You need to face the truth and shed pretence. Let'sbegin by notmaking excuse after excuse about how you don't have time, money, energy to begin exercising on a regular basis. Let's begin by throwing out allthe excuses for your bad eating habits, and let's stop making excuses for the lack of effort you put in when you work out. Let's start makingchanges - real changes that will stick for the rest of your life, and not be a stop gap measure for what ails you.
If you want to lose weight then set up a plan with short term and long term goals. Get yourself to the gym or set up appts. with your trainer and stick to them.If you have a trainer he or she can help you with your eating plan, and if you don't find a trainer to motivate you and encourage you.If you want to finally take control of your life,JUST DO IT. Don't wait for some meaningless date on the calendarto improve your health. It doesn't matter. January 1 2011 could be any day of the year.
