Keep Calm and Hello 2014!

Happy Almost 2014 y'all! Hope everyone is wrapping up their year with a bang and some good family and friend time.  Now that the holiday rush is pretty much over, it's time to start thinking about those resolutions again and actually sticking to them.  This is perfect timing for the old cliche quote, "New Year, New Me." Tell yourself why you want to be healthy, not just "I want to be healthy.. do it for the bikini you've been dying to buy, for the wedding dress of your dreams, or to wear those cute jean shorts in the summer time without worry :) Find what you want to be healthy for and remind yourself every single day that without your diet and workout you can't get there on the couch. Now now getting back into the workout world might be tough at first but the first step is always the biggest, plan your calendar and plan your workout, hold yourself accountable too. Let's be honest, if you showed up to a business meeting or Doctor's appointment and the Doctor or your boss just didn't show up, you'd be pretty annoyed right? Try and have the same feeling with your workouts because it's your body that you're letting down :) It doesn't have to be the 2nd or the 5th.. hell it could even be the 20th JUST GET UP AND DO IT. Give yourself incentives such as reaching a weekly goal.. treat yourself to a mani-pedi, or reach a monthly goal, get a spray tan, and when you reach your big goal go on a shopping trip by butting a 5 dollars for each pound you lose in a weight loss jar! You'd be surprised what money can do to us females who love shopping! Most importantly find a balance between skipping workouts and eating bad, ie. say you skip a workout ... you don't really need the cocktail or chocolate cake if you didn't workout that day am I right? Same goes for if you each like Sh*t, tell yourself you're going to do 5 more sprints, squats, or stairs to make up for it, don't see it as punishment but rather as equilibrium :)
