If the promise you made to yourself was to quit smoking and you woke up January first hungover, craving junk food, a nap and a Tylenol the size of your head then I'm sure before the end of the day you caved and had a cigarette...did you throw in the towel or try again the next day? If you promised to lose those last ten pounds and binged on a cheesecake last week, did you throw in the towel or did you vow to try harder the next day?
I don't make New Year's Resolutions, I make resolutions throughout the year and I make a detailed plan on how I am going to reach that goal. On September 20th I created a new fitness plan for myself with the goal of completing every workout and to lose 16 pounds before our trip to Hawaii this February. I wanted to finally have vacation photos where I wasn't sucking anything in, worried that I was going to have to crop all the full body shots and really wanted to look and feel my best. On Saturday I started week 16 of my 20 week program and a package of bikinis from Victoria Secret had arrived, I didn't even wait until the next morning when I would feel my thinnest, I decided to try them on then and there, post dinner in all my puffy goodness. I tried those bikinis on and much to my surprise I was pleasantly surprised with what I saw in the mirror, I was down 14lbs, had increased my weight training and could really see the difference. I was pumped! With four weeks to go I have no doubt I'll reach my goal, I'll lose 16lbs, complete all my workouts and look good doing it.
I want you to feel this, its unbelievable. Set a goal now and make a plan on how you are going to get there. My Sept 20th Resolution will be complete on Feb 12 when I go to Hawaii, when I get back I will make another one and make a plan to achieve it, maybe it will be fitness related, maybe not, but I know now I can do it.
