Hello Readers,
This time of year everyone is making New Year's resolutions. The trouble is most people don't keep them. Did you ever belong to a gym and see how crowded it is in January, but by the first of March the daily workout group size is back to normal?
How about weight loss? The new salad for lunch crowd is quickly back to fast food.
Speaking of weight loss, I am going public here as a means to keep me committed. I started my weight loss program in the first week of October. I weighed in at 207.8. On December 24, I was down to 187.6 pounds. I bounced around between there and 190.6 during the holidays. Today I am at 187.4.
I am very happy to have held my own and still enjoy a few extra cocktails and snacks. Now it is back to watching intake quantity and fat count again. My goal weight is 179 pounds and my goal range is 178 to 181.
Back to resolutions and affirmations. Saying your affirmations aloud, in present tense, and in a positive way is far superior to making a list of resolutions. Example: "I am a lean, mean, fat burning machine. I love the way I look and feel at 180 pounds". The daily reinforcement of saying that phrase with emotion is far better than making a resolution of "getting down to 180".
Try it with all your goals.
Until next time,
Chuck
