Happy New Year!

Congratulations to all of you who took on and completed the 10-day Holiday Healthy Lifestyle Challenge! I know it may not have been easy, but you did it! The challenge was designed to keep you exercising, give you healthy nutrition tips and help you slow down during what can be the crazy days of the holiday season. I hope you were able to take some of what you did and learned and put together a healthy lifestyle plan for 2018!

We are just two weeks into the new year, have you stayed on course with your new year's resolution or has it fallen by the wayside already? No worries we have a whole year to make goals and commit to them. My suggestion is to start small and let it grow as time goes on. Don't get discouraged; as they say Rome wasn't built in a day.
Remember making a change; eating more healthy, exercising more, slowing down and enjoying more time doing what you love, takes time. First you take small steps, adding that one healthy item to your diet, or taking something out. Going to the gym at least one day a week; on your own, meeting with a trainer or taking a class. Taking one hour of quiet time or doing something you enjoy will help you slow down, be mindful and give you some time just for you. As you get comfortable with this, you can build on it and before you know it you are meeting and exceeding the goals/resolutions you set for yourself.

I don't really make resolutions, but I do set goals and the funny thing about goals they can change over time. I had a goal years ago to start doing triathlons, then I started doing all sorts of other fitness things that I didn't put much focus on that goal. I started thinking about it again last year and as happened before, although this is something I still want to accomplish, I've changed my focus yet again and decided I want to complete longer running races first, so here I come 10K's and Half Marathons!

Another of my goals is to focus more of my attention to my fitness business, so I will be coming up with more activities, classes and workshops this year (to help you meet your goals) And I have made it easier for you to pay for these online so you don't have to worry about cash or a checkbook.

Your challenge for the rest of January is to make or recommit to your resolutions or goals that you stated as 2018 was being rung in.

Yours in fitness,
