YOU Can Do Anything For 56 Days (July 4th is 8 Weeks Away!)

     Check your New Year's Resolution. How is it holding up? Well, get back on track starting now and feel better by Independence Day!

By setting short term goals, ultimately you will meet your long term goals. Just focus for the next 56 days. Here's your Holiday Checklist:

--> Mark your calendar with planned workouts and for every day you follow through mark it with an X or place a sticker.

--> Plan your meals daily at either the beginning of the week or at the very least, the night before. Many fitness programs also include nutrition guides or try a site like http://www.teambeachbody.com/ for meal plans or http://www.self.com/ for the Drop 10 Challenge meal plan.

--> Write down your realistic goal for the short term. Example: "I want to be down a size or lose 10 pounds by July 4th. I want to be down another 8 pounds by Labor Day."

--> Build a reward system that does NOT include food. For every short term goal you achieve, reward yourself with something fun like a manicure, pedicure, family trip, new book or movie, or even just a quiet evening at home in the tub.  :0)

Just focus on these 56 days and you will be SO happy you did. Food for thought: These 56 days will pass ANYWAY, so DO something about it!!
