New Year's Resolution: Win or Lose?

It's a new year and many of you have some sort of New Year's Resolution that has something to do with your health. Whether it's eating healthier (what's healthy anymore these days?), workout more (what's more?), lose weight (how much?), getting more fit (what is fit anyway?). All pretty vague goals if you ask me. No wonder most people fail within the first month of the new year. We're only 10 days in, are you still on track? Oh wait, how are you supposed to know if you're on track if there is no route to follow? No destination to go to? No exact reason why?

1. Figure out what your DESTINATION (goal)is
2. Figure out what ROUTE (plan) to take 
3. Decide WHEN you want to get there
4. Find out WHY you want to get there

Let's say your goal is to lose X amount of lbs, or better yet to fit into a certain size. You are getting there by working out at least three times a week, prepare your lunch/snacks at home so you don't make bad calls, drink at least two liters of water/day, tell 10 people so that they can keep you accountable. Why? Because you have no energy right now, you want to keep up with your kids, and live to see them and possible grand kids grow up.

Sure you'll slip here and there, but that's part of the journey. That doesn't mean you failed your New Year's Resolution. Every day you can start with a clean slate and try again. Don't wait until next year to start over, you want to win right? So start today, tomorrow, and every day after that. You WILL reach your destination.
