you're beginning to falter. If you're one of many whose New Year's resolution was to "get healthy" now may be the time you're weakening. This feeling is just a small roadblock that you can move past. Here's some suggestion on how to get past this hurdle and move ahead:1) Make better health a social event. (No, I'm not suggesting you meet a friend for a few cocktails).
How about scheduling a walking date with coffee as your reward; have a contest to see who can
find the most flavorful heart healthy recipe; what is the most outlandish outfit you can put
together for your next workout.
2) You DID make one resolution, yes? Trying to make many lifestyles change at once sets you
up for failure. Reevaluate. What is the most important change, stop smoking, becoming more
active, losing weight. They're doable, but not all at once. Pick one.
3)Willpower. We all have it but sometimes we must give it some wiggle room. Don't make
sweeping statements, "I'm not going to eat any food with the letter 'C'." Sounds good, but, how
about making the goal more manageable, "No cookies Monday-Saturday, just on Sunday."
Finally, share your resolution with some one. It's harder to give up if others know about it.
