So January 2010 is about to wrap up...have you accomplished what you had hoped to in the first month of the decade? Did you have some goals or resolutions you made on January 1st? Maybe you are well on your way to conquering them...maybe you have slipped up a bit along the way, but there are still 11 more months to go! It is difficult to adjust to change. Whether it is fitness, nutrition, behavior, habits...we like to do what we like to do. So the trick is to change what you like to do! Sounds easier than it is!
You need to find new things that you like that help you work towards your new goal or resolution! If running isn't your thing, maybe you can manage the elliptical at the gym? Maybe if step class isn't your thing you can try TurboKick (had to plug myself ;)). Is there a sport you loved in highschool? Look for a team to join.
Eating is a similar predicament. You love french fries? Try baking thinly sliced sweet potatoes, add a touch of olive oil and salt and bake in the oven...even better, try zucchini baked this way! You love the convenience of drive thrus? Find out what your safe options are. These aren't only salads (btw if you get a salad go easy on the dressing they provide). Do you hate vegetables? Try Shakeology.
You may have to work a tiny bit harder but aren't you worth it? Isn't your health worth it? Try a little harder now, soon it will become habit, and you are well on your way to a happier and healthier lifestyle. Learning to love to eat healthy will add years to your life, learning to love to exercise will add even more! And these will be quality years!
The only person who can decide to do it is you, the only person who can keep you accountable is you, the only person who get you out of bed every morning is you! I can help encourage you, I can help push you at the gym...but only if you make the choice to help yourself!
So keep going, you are on your way to the finish line :)

I am going to focus my blog on good nutritional choices this week as what goes into your body can effect 70% of your results if you are exercising regularly!
Don't let broken New Year's resolutions get you down. It's time to think of a more effective way to achieve your goals. If you promised yourself you'll only eat three meals and a snack every day, that's a reasonable goal. If you promised yourself you'll never eat pizza again, that's setting yourself up for inevitable failure. Think about the big picture, but work toward smaller goals. Soon, those resolutions will be a thing of the past — because you've already completed them!---taken from Jillian Michael's blog!
