Sign up for a new resolution

Team up with your pen, pencils or keyboard to keep your new year's resolution. Write,
email, post it or publish it! Sometimes we have to see it in print to believe it can
come true. When starting any fitness program, set small goals and write them down in a
place where you will see them each day. Each time you complete the activity- tear up the
paper and/or write it down again. You may even want to email messages to yourself
again. By writing or typing thoughts and actions, you will find that it helps you cement
the thought process and new pattern you are trying to keep. Our minds play the most
important role in our success. And remember, when trying anything new, you are looking
for small success, not perfection.

Stick to your New Year's Resolution!

Stick to your new year's resolution - here's how.
Calories Count when making that New Years Resolution to live healthier. Try these easy tips:
1. Take your weight and add a zero to the end. That's approximately how many calories you need to consume to maintain your weight.
2. To lose one pound you'll need to create a calorie deficit of 3,500 calories.
3. Limit your fat intake to 30% of your overall total calorie intake.
4. Don't worry about calories coming from foods without labels: fruits, vegetables, meats, etc.
5. Learn how to read the nutrition labels. Pay attention to the serving size and total calories. Opt for foods with nutrient values high in fiber and protein to increase metabolism.
