Planning for a good year!

Without a proper agenda at hand a thought is simply that, just a thought.  If there is no plan to follow through on the idea or thought, the notion of action is never taken, thus allowing for a perfectly good seed to never be planted. 

 So here we are, it is December 8th and Tis' the season.  This is the season of festivities and good food, of presents and last minute shopping.  It is time to visit with family, not to worry about our fitness and health.  There is no reason to be able to accomplish everything the month brings and still get healthy and stay fit.  Why start January 1st when today is a perfectly good time to do it.  What is holding you back from embarking on your "New Year's Resolution" a few weeks early?  Christmas and New Year's are both only one day.  Those are two days that are going to be days off.  Your body needs rest at least once a week and it just so happens they are 7 days apart.

So how are we going to do this?  I mean what do we really want to accomplish here?  Procrastination is not going to get us anywhere anytime soon.  What is holding us back? Perhaps it is the simple fact that we never really have planned out an actual goal that we wanted to reach and put a time limit on it. 

Planning is essential for any success to take place.  When you have something mapped out the bigger picture is always in sight.  Start with saying where you want to be in   February.  How many inches you want to lose or gain.  What is your goal weight?  How is your performance? I know that my fitness took off once I planned on where I was headed.  Make great detail about what you are planning with your goals, and always place a time limit for yourself to help you keep the pace.   

So what is holding you back from making the change today? At least start off slow, and build your momentum heading into the year.  Because this is going to be the year it is different!  And how do I know that? 

Because for the first time we are going to take advantage of this great month of December and start before the New Year; build the habit and blast off in the year of 2011!  The time is now.

Own yourself! Run your life!
