Resolution Check-Up

New Year's resolution healthy check-up. The MOVE checking in to make sure you are still thinking about your goals.

Believe it or not, we are already approaching the end of January--yikes! -- So I think it's time to check in and see how we are all doing with our New Year's Resolutions before we cross off any more days from the calendar.  I must admit that my first resolution each and every year is pretty much the same thing, and it has something to do with getting organized.  In fact, this year I even wrote it down to make it more likely that I keep it top of mind, but I think the piece of paper I wrote it on went missing......under the pile of other papers on my desk, or in the car...or maybe the dog ate it...  Uh, oh.....  Anyhoo, if your resolution had something to do with weight loss, or getting healthy, or incorporating more exercise into your life how's it going?   Have you made it to the gym more than once or twice?  Have you cut back on the wine consumption or number of days in the week you're seen with french fries or a cheeseburger?  If the answer is "yes", then congratulations and keep up the good work!  If you're hemming and hawing and looking down at your shoes right now, don't despair--we can still get that train to healthy back on track! 

 

Just remember, it's never too late to improve ourselves and fight for our right to look good and feel great!  If you slipped a little, who cares?  Just get started again right now.  Dust off that smoothie maker and load it with collard greens and fruit.  Load up your water bottle and start sipping.  Squeeze in that lunchtime walk, start taking the stairs again, or visit me at the Gotta Move youtube channel for some free online exercise classes.  Just search for "therealmove" on youtube, where I even have short "Daily Snacks" where you can burn some quick calories in only 7 minutes!  Whatever it takes, but stay on track.  Tomorrow is a new day--a new chance to appreciate our bodies and do something nice for them.  After all, they have to last us a long time, so it's probably a good idea to take care of them.
