Don’t Give Up on Your Health and Fitness
By Cindy | December 1, 2008
My goodness! It’s December already. Where has the year gone? What have we accomplished? Is it time to wait for the New Year to start all over again?! NO, Girl! We’ve come a long way.
With Thanksgiving behind us, my family is already looking forward to Christmas and New Year’s Day. The tree’s been decorated. I’m designing our Family Christmas Card inserts, and we hope to get all the lights strung by the end of the week. It’s easy to think, ahh, what the heck, I’ll wait to the New Year to X (workout), Y (eat right), and Z(catch some ZZZs). But, there’s no need to wait.
I’ve noticed the gym isn’t nearly as full as it was a couple of months ago. I’m looking at how I can motivate and invigorate my clients over the last month of the year. Here’s what I plan to have them do:
- Share with me the best health or fitness moment of the year.
- Share your main goal for December and post it up on your mirror or refrigerator.
- How do you plan on achieving the goal.
- Write down one positive experience from each month of this past year that was personal, emotional, or professional!
We need to be proud of our achievements. We often look at our children and can rattle off an answer for each one of these points, but for ourselves? Now, that’s a bit tricky. I often forget to sit down and think about the positive things that I’ve done. In my mind, I review the failures and try to plan on how to battle my weaknesses–Not today! Let’s take a moment to reflect on all the positive things you’ve achieved. I’d love to hear your answers!

It’s so hard to be good over the holidays. I’m trying to do the paleo diet and lose a few pounds–also trying to avoid gluten and dairy (which I’m intolerant to but have a hard time staying away from 100%!)
I’ve been telling myself I’m going to hike the Rincon Trail and back. The Rincon Trail is a paved trail that goes for about 9 miles and ends at a dam. Last month, I finally hiked all the way there and back on my own. I was so happy I finally started running and hiking again. It just made me feel like I accomplished something.
