Are You Getting Ready for 2014?

As we wind down this last week of October, I began thinking that this is the time of year where so many people decide that if they haven't achieved their fitness goals, no need to start now. It is during this time when we start to think about holiday parties and family gatherings. With these gatherings come food, food and more food. Who is thinking about sticking to a healthy lifestyle? What's done is done. If you haven't reached that goal, there's always next year.

My question is WHY WAIT? Why wait to get started? Why take a break if you have been disciplined enough to make it this far? Why let this time of year tempt you into thinking that you should let your healthy lifestyle fall by the waist side? I hope it's not due to the thinking that you'll just start over next year - 2014! 

This is the time of year when you should maintain your "healthy lifestyle" right? Since, when does a lifestyle take a break? I'm sure no one ever decides that they will take a break from bathing, a break from the hairdresser/barber, a break from living? This is when you end the year with just as much force as you did in the beginning, when you set your goal for the year. A year is 12 months, so who are you cheating if you slack off? YOURSELF that's who.

During this time, review where you currently are and set your year-end course to either completing your initial goal of 2013 or getting as close to reaching it as possible. Don't cheat yourself or the healthy lifestyle that you have been living or started living.

 

End this year with a tremendous feeling of accomplishment!  That way, when December 31, 2013 - New Year's Eve - comes around, you will be celebrating your success!!!

 

Feel free to share how you will remain on course to a better and healthier you the rest of the year.
