4 Weight Loss Resolutions Worth Making

From eDiets.com:

Can you believe it is this time of year again? What time? New Year’s Resolution-making time, of course!

Before we direct our attention to the things we should resolve to do in 2005, I would like you take a look back at this time last year. Did you make any resolutions last year? If so, how did you do with adhering to them?

I remember many times in the past when I would make resolutions such as, "I am going to lose weight this year" or "I am going to get happier and more organized this year." I would jump into the New Year with a commitment to realizing my resolves and an intense enthusiasm for doing so. The problem was that my resolves were too vague and I didn’t have a plan to follow, merely an idea of what direction I wanted to go. That was a plan to fail, or more simply put, I failed to plan!

This time, in the coming New Year, if you want to succeed and realize each of your resolutions -- PLAN to succeed and you will!

So, without further ado, 2005’s top resolutions AND who to realize them!!! (Applause, cheering, confetti is now being thrown. Prince is singing -- can you feel the excitement!?)

1. I resolve to make a plan that is realistic and contains small achievable goals to help me realize my bigger goals and resolutions!

2. I resolve to stop drinking all soft drinks and I resolve to stop eating all fried foods.

3. I resolve to increase my fitness level and get regular exercise.

4. I resolve to drink at least 64 ounces of water a day.

I promise you this, if you follow each of these resolves then 2006 will ring in with YOU being much healthier, more fit and highly empowered! That would make for a great 2005, wouldn’t it?

Now, the plan to realize these goals!

1. There is no better plan available to you today than using eDiets.com for your nutritional and support needs. And, if you want an extra dose of motivation, you should start January 1 with a LifeChanger in hand!

2. If you drink soft drinks or eat fried foods (vices!), figure out how many times a day/week you do consume them. Then, each week methodically cut back -- after 21 days you will be vice-free!

3. Whatever your current fitness level, you need to gradually increase what you are doing. Increasing duration, intensity or frequency of exercise and work to increase it each week until you are a living fitness guru! It can be done, I promise you that. If today you have trouble walking to the end of your driveway, this is still a start! Do that today and each day until it is not as hard, then walk a bit further and keep increasing, as you are able and ready.

I know an eDiets client who couldn’t walk for one minute; she took this advice to heart and is now 75 pounds lighter and walks around the park. She has improvement still ahead but her first steps were indeed her most important ones! Take yours!

4. If you "hate" water today, that is fine -- just drink ONE glass! And the same tomorrow and the next day; then increase weekly from that point until you are drinking at least 64 ounces of water a day. It is the most important resolution you can make and keep! You are made of 75 percent water and you need a constant flow of it to keep your body working optimally!

Sounds pretty easy, doesn’t it? It is easier than you can imagine. Have a happy and safe New Year’s Eve -- and remember, "Everywhere you go -- there YOU are!" That means, just because it says you can "eat all you want" at the buffet, doesn’t mean you should!
