Ready to get healthy and fit as your New Year’s Resolution?
Awesome, here’s your 5 step plan.
COMMIT. Write down
your goal (whatever it is: lose weight, get fit, be more active).
Put it on
your mirror. If you’re like me, then put it in the app that you see every
morning that’s like looking in the mirror!

| For me, it's my FitBit app. |
CHANGE
You didn’t get to where you are by accident. You
won’t achieve long term health goals by doing the same things. CHANGE YOUR
MIND. Get new information that will help you achieve your goals.
EAT WELL
Eat real, whole foods. The SAD (Standard American
Diet) is a pile of falsehoods, big food influences and politics. If you were
born after 1950, you don’t remember a time when this nation ate the way it
should.
Ignore the food pyramid or MyPlate – eat real, organic veggies and
grass fed beef or free range chicken. Don’t be afraid of fat, you need it to
burn calories, absorb and process vitamins and for good brain function
(especially cholesterol!)
PARTNER
Find someone you can partner with to be accountable
for your commitments – and also as someone to encourage you and work with you
towards that goal!
GET MOVING
Don’t wait, get moving. You can start just by
getting 10-15 minutes of walking/movement a day.
Work your way up to 30 minutes
in five minute increments. That’s your baseline. Don’t anticipate weight loss
(likely you won’t lose any) but look for some cardiovascular endurance and
general strengthening. Hit some stairs along that route too. After that, come
back here and you’ll find available programs that will help you meet your
fitness goals.
YOU CAN DO IT. You
were designed for greatness. Engage.
Yours,
Phillip
