This year, resolve to kill it!
For the past few years, I've worked to set fewer specific resolutions in place of one or two general goals. This year, it's my plan to commit to better overall health. In 2013, I ran 4 half marathon and running on a regular basis to stay fit and stress-free. In 2014, I ran 0. Yep, zero. None. Nor did I "find time" to put my running shoes on much. I refuse to let that happen this year. In years past, I have registered for fitness goals (like running a race) in advance for the year for the year to keep myself on track and committed. I've done the same this year as well and could not be more excited to get back on track.
Here are a few additional tips to help your conquer your 2015 fitness/health goals!
1. Get the right gear. When it comes to workout gear, I need looks that are both stylish and functional. I can honestly say, when I love my gear, I'm more committed to my workout. I like looks that are light weight, breathable, stretchy material in bright colors and patterns. I recently completely feel in love with a high quality fitness line, Cory Vines. Their line is both durable, anti-bacterial, anti-ordor and very comfortable. My yoga classes have not survived without them as of late!
2. Talk about your resolutions. Make your goals known to both friends, family members and co-workers. When you're chatting with them often, they will likely ask about your progress and want to cheer you on!
3. Set small goal & celebrate your victories. Be sure to set smaller, attainable milestones as you progress throughout your plan and celebrate when you reach your goals. For example, if your goal is to lose 15 pounds in 5 months, set small
4. Track progress through a Journal or Mobile App. I love the My Fitness Pal App where I can track both my meal intake and fitness regimen. It keeps me motivated and more aware of the impact of my choices. There are plenty of free, user-friendly mobile apps available that make tracking simple, or consider starting a journal or making daily notes.
5. Have fun. Make your your fitness goals involve a little fun. If you love to run, choose a race that involves fun actives like the Dirty Girl Run or Rock & Roll Races. Similarly, if you love to bike, see if there is a club or temporary outdoor class you can take in your area to switch things up. The more fun the class or activity, the more likely your girlfriends will join also.
I hope you all have a great year! I'll be sure to keep you all posted on my progress! If you're setting goals as well, I'd love to hear what keeps you motivated! We an motivated each other! :)
XOXO,

It's a terrible feeling, isn't it? I was so bad this year, but hoping to get thing back in gear in 2015! Happy New Year, again! We have to get together this year! XO
DeleteYes! Yes! This year I promised myself I would actually get fit. I joined the gym and haven't been in two months, talk about money wasted. So I'm trying to get back into the swing of things and your tips are everything I need to stay motivated.

This happens to me almost every year so know you're not alone :) We should continue to motivate each other this year! We can do it! XO
DeleteYes!! I HATE the whole "make New Year's resolutions thing," but I've set a similar goal for myself this year.
ReplyDeleteLast May, I ran my first 10k race, and it felt incredible and I was addicted to the rush. Over the last few months though, I've fallen off the wagon. I've been running again for the past week or so, and it's frustrating that I can only handle 5k right now.
Let's keep each other going! :)
