January 1st rolls around and everyone wants to get rid of some of that holiday chub. :) Whether you have 5 lbs. to lose or 50, the 1st of the year usually gets us thinking about getting in better shape, or just getting into shape in general.
The only way you will be successful is if you make a plan. This plan has to be attainable. Don't say 'I'm going to lose 50 lbs. this year'. If you've ever lost weight, you know that sometimes the scale just doesn't budge. We hit plateaus, we lose motivation. The best approach is to make several small measurable and ATTAINABLE goals, preferably one month at a time.
For example, you could make your goal for January to eat clean 6 out of 7 days a week, and to go to the gym at least 5 days a week. This is attainable. You could also make your goal for the month as something more performance-based such as the ability to do 5 more push-ups than your personable record.
Whatever you want to achieve, just make sure you have a plan, a timeline, and that it is all attainable. :) Happy New Year and may 2012 be even more amazing than 2011!!!
