Resolutions

It's that time of year again: everyone is making resolutions for the new year. Probably one of the most common resolution is to get in shape/ eat better/ lose weight. So many people make this resolution every year. Make this year the year that it finally sticks!

The key is to not go on some diet, but instead to make some lifestyle changes. It is OK to eat brownies and cake!!!! Just make sure you do not go overboard. Everything in moderation. Any diet that restricts a food is a bad diet. I am doing a Biggest Loser program at my work and last night I ate ice cream! I simply worked it into my calorie allowance for the day.

Try to eat more veggies and less sugar. You can still have that chocolate, just less often! Aim to drink about 100 oz water each day. Try to get in little bits of exercise whenever you can throughout your busy day. Don't park in the closest space at the store. Walk around your house while you are talking on the phone. Take the stairs. Do sit-ups, crunches, or some other exercise while you are watching your favorite television show. There are so many ways you can add extra physical activity into your day. Of course, if you have the time, take some 'you' time and go to the gym or try a workout DVD. I highly recommend the recently released "Biggest Loser Last Chance Workout".

Watch season 9 of The Biggest Loser Tuesday nights on NBC for motivation!
