Weigh-In: Week 52

Healthy You Challenge:

I wanted to put a couple tools in place to keep me motivated in the New Year. I didn’t want to make a ‘resolution’ because people seem to roll their eyes at those, myself included. But if you set a reasonable goal and put a plan into place to achieve it, good for you!

To mark the end of my first week on the Healthy You Challenge, I would like to post a follow-up to a post I made earlier in the week. I am mildly annoyed by the people that are clogging up the gym. These people that are making thier 896th ‘resolution’ to lose weight, change thier bad habits, 75% of them won’t be clogging the gym in a few weeks. They don’t have a plan. They see some info-mercial or read a magazine article that proclaims that they will lose 25 lbs by swimsuit season. Oh, and check out the 75 ways to make a decadent dessert on page 93.

Take it from me, if you have more than 20 lbs to lose, you need to have a plan to get you through the boring gray days of March and the gorgeous days of June & July when you would rather be sitting someplace air conditioned than sweating it out on the stationary bike. Make a plan… slow and steady wins the race.
