My New Year Goals

Goals are healthy for us, so why not blog about them in our health blog. I wasn't able to go the the New Years Eve party and make new year resolutions, but that doesn't mean I didn't make a list.

I like to do picture collages, but I am still sick so haven't had the energy yet to do so, so I just wrote out a simple list that I will share.


 To maintain a clean, fresh, and healthy mind. How?

• Write In My Journal Every Day

 To maintain a clean, fresh, and healthy body. How?

• Drink 64oz of H2O each day, 16oz of water before each meal.
• Exercise every day implementing cardio, weights, and stretching
• Eat healthy, well proportioned meals
• Awarding myself for exercising with TV, Video Games, or free time.
• Apply lotion to my skin every morning and night

 To begin and maintain a healthy and successful writing career. How?

• Read for an hour each day
• Write for an hour each day
• Practice vocabulary and grammar each day
• To keep notes of all my ideas
• Finish my book and submit it to at least ten publishers

So I've shared my list with you, now I hope that you will share yours with me.

Having Help

I have found over the last 2 weeks that it is extremely motivational and fun to have a buddy or buddies to work out with. It is so much easier to stay on track when you have another to work out with you.

Thanks Karrie, Chris, Ammon, Victoria, Bryan, Christian, and Dominique. :)You have made getting healthy alot easier.

Get and stay motivated!!!

People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily. - Zig Ziglar


You control your future, your destiny. What you think about comes about. By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands - your own. - Mark Victor Hansen


Do not wait; the time will never be 'just right'. Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along. - Napoleon Hill


A man may conquer a million men in battle but one who conquers himself is, indeed, the greatest of conquerors.
- Buddha


Action springs not from thought, but from a readiness for responsibility.
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer


Behold the turtle. He makes progress only when he sticks his neck out.
- James B. Conant


Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.
- Marilyn Vos Savant


Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sharing My Favorite Workout

This is just one of my favorite work outs. I love how my back and spine feel after I do this workout.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. In fact, I do the first half of the first video every morning as I'm getting out of bed and getting ready for the day. It really stretches me and prepares me for the day ahead.

Here is a link to my Youtube channel with my Health Playlist, it will auto play all 4 videos for you if you want to give it a try. I started by leaning 1 video at a time, but you can do whatever works for you :) ENJOY!!!

Addiction

How do you help an addict?

For most of my life I have been very unhealthy and unhappy. I try to take a step to a healthier life and then just crash. I must admit I have a major addiction! This addiction is food. Some would say food is a very easy addiction to conquer, but this is not true. Food is as much as an addiction as meth is to an drug addict. It gives me a great high and then a great low. At a very young age I let food become my everything. Food was my comfort and my best friend. I use food whenever I am happy and want to celebrate or food is my comfort when I am sad and I need comfort to ease my pain. I try to tell myself that food is killing me a little every day, but when I need that high I just can't seem to say NO.

Last week I started my normal "HEY, I am going to be healthy and start a new healthy life" and I did a great job for one week working out one hour every day and watching how much I ate and what I would eat. I lost 7 LBS and then you got it I needed that HIGH and I have not been able to stop wanting that high since.
