New Year New Goals

Many people use the new year as a time to start a diet, finish a book or start one.
For me I think of the fall as the new year, so I went and did 12 weeks of concentrating on my diet and exercise routine. In that 12 weeks I lost 10 pounds.

So yes you can too. If you are starting with the new year, than keep it up. Even if some weeks you don't feel like its working or you don't lose any weight, keep on going. The next week you might drop 4 pounds instead of 2.

There are many things open to you. If you are not in the freezing cold you can walk for exercise right now. The dogs need to get out and so do you. It keeps you and them fit.Find something that is inexpensive to do, like bike riding or swimming in the ocean. That is free. Keep stocking up good foods. Yes it does cost more to eat well. Sorry, cheep food is not as good. Look for sales on produce and scan the meats, some times there are great deals to be had.

In my efforts to eat better I find when I do, I think better, happier and more positive thoughts. If I eat junk food I think mean, depressing thoughts. So boil up some fresh chicken and make chicken salad with good wheat bread. Your body and mind will thank you. You will be nicer to be around, truly.

Whatever your goals are, stick to them. Only with a lot of effort will you see results. There is no pill or drink that will help you be fit. Only hard work and sweat, but then again its all worth it.
