The holidays are behind us – that means no more pigging out at family parties, goodbye to having dessert after nearly every meal, and farewell to being too busy to hit the gym. And while the holidays were lovely, I am super excited to get back into my usual routine. Missing the gym for one week felt like an eternity, and I was eager to get back to keep building on my progress thus far.
With the start of the New Year also comes the dreaded New Year’s resolutions phase. Of course, the most popular resolution is always to lose weight and/or eat healthy – but how long does that really last? Yes, the gyms may be packed now, but give it a few weeks and you’ll see it start to clear.
Which is why I want to tell you, my readers, to create a goal that is easy for you to stick to! If you want to eat healthy all year round, why not try a program where each month you give up something that’s not exactly the most nutritious. For example, in January, try ridding yourself of sweets. February, omit fried foods from your diet. Here’s a good guide I pinned from Pinterest – feel free to tweak it as you wish, but it’s certainly a great start:
For me, my resolution is to continue with the hard work and dedication I’ve put in last year. This means hitting the gym 4-6 times per week, waking up early to get my regular workouts in, and continuing drinking the protein shake that worked best for me – GNC Lean Shake.
If I stick to this like I did last year, I know I will see progress and results. Here’s to you all sticking to the resolutions you’ve set for yourselves in 2014. Don’t be a statistic. Make your resolution last all year round.
Good luck, and as always, shoot me a message for anything you’d like to see on my blog.
