Recently I decided to finally take control of my personal health and wellness. Through the years I have made several attempts at this, while some were successful they only provided temporary results. This is mainly because I wasn't mentally ready to make a permanent change and also the avenues I took didn't lend themselves to a "lifestyle" change which is what needs to take place when you're ready to become a healthier individual. This past September I joined the YMCA which was my first step towards a better Me. For a few weeks I was a regular at the gym but I have to admit, the holiday season got the best of me (excuses!) and I fell off the wagon.
It's now the first month of a new year, a time for most people to forget the trials of the previous year and start fresh. I've never been a person to set "New Year Resolutions" but for this year I decided to try something different. The goals that I set for myself this year are goals that will extend far beyond 2012. They are in place to help me have a more full life. Starting with my eating and exercise habits, I have made the commitment to my body to take care of it to the best of my ability and give it the nurturing it needs. I am happy to say that since I have made this decision I have lost 4 lbs! I am back in the gym and I have even gotten my girlfriend to join me which makes it so much easier.
Whatever your resolutions are for this year I wish you great luck in achieving them. Remember to stay focused and committed...and BE GREAT!
