You Gotta Start Somewhere

As the new year approaches - so many have made a decision to finally lose that weight and put down that last piece of cheesecake forever. Or maybe it's to give up alcohol, eat out less, or exercise more. January 1st - seems to be where most people start. Getting that last drink in and putting that last glass down. The gym is overcrowded at least for the first three weeks (if that). Personal trainers are making a killing. But then here comes and there goes February, March, and April. Money has been wasted on gyms and that treadmill has turned into a clothing rack. What happened? Let me tell you what happened. Doing too much at once. That's like saying you gonna save $500.00 a month but you can't even commit to saving $10.00 a week. Really, are you really serious. Did you really think a light was gonna come on and say - ok I'm ready! Baby Steps. Yeah, it may seem like it's not worth it and results are too slow but you gotta start somewhere. If you're hungry and have to stop somewhere to eat, skip McDonald's and try Subways (but skip the mayo). If you're chilling on the couch watching a Lifetime movie and you have a treadmill or eliptical in your home - jump on it for at least 20 minutes. And if you don't - march in place, burn some calories. What harm can it do. But remember YOU GOTTA START SOMEWHERE.
