Well, my friends, the New Year is upon us. It is a time for our annual resolutions to change behavior or appearance. If you are reading this blog, then there is a good chance that you may resolve to lose weight in 2011. If you have been reading this blog for a couple of months, then just maybe your resolution will be different this year. I hope so.
For my last blog of the year, I wanted to impart some wisdom on to you about motivation in the new year. We make our resolutions, and we usually start out very determined, and as soon as we falter, we get discouraged and give in to temptation. It's only human, you're not alone in this. Don't be so hard on yourself. My advice to you is make sure your resolutions are reasonable. Pace yourself, don't try to do too much, too soon. Stay consistent. If you want to see results, you have to work out consistently and you have to maintain your calorie intake consistently. You can't just go one week and then miss a couple weeks and then come back for a few days here and there and then miss a bunch of days. You have to stay consistent.
Another important aspect to losing weight is focus. In the past, this is an area where I failed miserably. I was trying to lose weight, but I was also trying to get bigger muscles and I was also jogging a lot. I got into pretty good shape but I wasn't getting the results I was looking for. So, now I'm smarter (o.k. wiser), I will stay focused on losing weight by doing a lot of "cardio" along with lifting weights, but I will keep the weights light and do a lot of reps. In the old days I would have been lifting heavy. I think my body was too confused. When I get down to my desired weight, then I will start lifting heavier to grow my muscles a little bit. Then when I get to the desired end result, I will do a lot of jogging to help maintain my physique. So my advice is to focus on one thing at a time and keep plugging away until you achieve the desired results.
I wish you all thin bodies and fat wallets/purses in the new year. Thank you for reading my blog (I now have readers in 9 countries and 4 continents).
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
