Now is the Time to Set Your 2015 Goals

Most people wait until after the New Year to set their fitness goals.  Instead of waiting, set your goals and create a plan this week so you can get going on your fitness right away on January 1st.

 

When setting your goals include the following:

• Long term goal or goals (2-5 years)
• Yearly goal or goals
• Quarterly goal or goals (3-4/year)
• Monthly goal or goals (12/year)
• Weekly goal or goals
• Daily goal or goals

Taking time to do the above is the first step that most people either don't do.  This is one main reason why most people don't reach thier New Years goals. 

Don't be one of them.

P.S. Merry Christmas!

"No" The Most Powerful Word You Can Use in December

December is the time of the year where people really let thier health and fitness deteriorate.  This makes achieving New Years Resolution goals like fat loss much harder.

A simple way to avoid this trap is by saying the word "No" more often.  This is ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT for mothers.

Mothers are often extra stressed this time of the year because they take on additional commitments they don't have time for.  By simply saying "No" to some of these you will have more time for yourself and will be less stressed as a result.  

An example to use going forward is "No, I cannot help you with that because I have other commitments I need to take care of."  This can go a long way to de-stressing you.

If it is too late and you can't get out of certain commitments already scheduled, make a list of everything you said "Yes" to with good intentions but would have been better of leaving them of your plate in the last year.  In 2015 remember these, when they happened and "Just Say No."

Even though you may think otherwise the world will go on and you will be healthier and happier as a result!
