Resolutions Going Off Course?

Think you can't handle the daily workouts? Think your food intake is getting way out of hand? Maybe the problem is with those New Year's resolutions you made! If the idea of starting fresh on January 1 is what motivated you to make the change, I'm glad you made that choice for the better. But life happens, so don't get frustrated when things don't go exactly as planned. Need some motivation? Check out what one of my teammates says about just that — taking your the emphasis off vague resolutions and focusing on shorter-term goals.
"I think that you need to visualize what you want every day using little things. That little dress or those perfect jeans that don't fit — buy them or pull them out of the closet and try them on every time you don't want to work out or want to eat ice cream.
People don't realize that little goals are what is going to get you there. People make these huge resolutions, but don't decide on the way they are going to accomplish them. It is very difficult to wake up at 3:00 AM [to work out]. I would think that you just need to get on a consistent schedule where working out is something you do, just like going to work. Just find a time each day that works the best. For me it is easiest to go right after work. If I do this I don't have the chance to get occupied cleaning or busy with something else. Taking a gym bag to work makes me have no excuse to go home first. A good thing is that you cook, so you can make sure you are making healthy choices. I also find that eating at work is a struggle, so packing snacks and meals is mandatory." – bree66
