New Years is so so so close! Say goodbye to 2014 and say hello to YOUR YEAR! This will be the year that we work harder than ever to achieve our dreams. Now, I can't help you pay off your student loans, but I like to think that I can help you with your resolution to lose weight/get healthy/get fit. I'll be posting my resolutions soon, but first let me help you get started on yours!
1. Think BIG then SMALL. You might want to lose 100 pounds total. That's a great goal! But that might not happen in 1 year and thinking so far ahead can make you give up. So start small with monthly goals. Saying you want to lose 5 pounds in January is a goal that you can achieve and will inspire you to keep working hard!
2. See where you're at. Weigh yourself, and then do a little research to find out what a HEALTHY weight for you should be. It is important to be realistic about your health, no matter how hard it can be.
3. Set yourself up for success by staying accountable. Join a program like Weight Watchers, or download an app like My Fitness Pal or Lose It! These are all great ways to track your calories and activities. By seeing exactly how much you are eating and what healthy portions look like, it will be easy to see why you gained weight and will put you on the path to eating right.
4. Join a gym/workout program. Diet is the most important place to start, but you will see faster and better results if you get that body moving! It will also really improve your overall health. There are a TON of programs and challenges out there on the internet. My personal favorite is Blogilates (review for her program will be up in a few weeks). You can also buy programs like Insanity. There is also the option of combining different things and creating your own program!
5. Do it with a friend! Having a workout buddy makes you more likely to go to the gym and will keep you more accountable. It is also nice to have someone that knows what you are going through and can keep you motivated and on track!
