6 Tips:


If you are anything like me.... each year you come up with a list of all the things you would like to do differently in the next year. Eat healthy, exercise, spend more quality time with family, and save more money are always among my top ten! Isn't it funny how here it is December and my list is exactly the same as last years. (give or take a few!) You can not say my intention wasn't there. I get an A+ for effort (or do I?). You see, the effort is all about making the resolutions stick! That means not saying things I 'd like to change but actually making the changes. If this were the case.... My list would not be the same from year to year. So, to change it up this year I decided to figure out how to break the cycle. Here are my suggestions to make your resolutions stick!


1. Be realistic -
Make sure that you aren't setting your expectations too high. If your goal is to lose weight.... You can't simply expect to drop 50 lbs in 2 - 3 months! In the case of losing weight - about a pound to two pounds a week would be more realistic. Do some research about your goal so that you can have realistic expectations. Also don't forget to give yourself credit for the baby steps you make. A loss of 3 pounds is a loss! Even if your goal was to lose 10 pounds, you did move closer to your goal and that is progress.

2. Write down your expectations/goal -
For whatever reason writing down your goals helps to bring them to fruition. It is quite a complicated scientific process that I am not about to try to explain here. In a nutshell... by writing down our goals it etches them into our memory and forces the brain to realize the goals are something we would like to accomplish. When we go to do something related to our goals our brains trigger a reminder or red flag to us. Besides all the scientific mumbo jumbo - if it is written down, it will be easier to monitor your progress through out the year.

3. Be flexible -
Curve balls come at us all the time! Be prepared for them by allowing some flexiblity. This is the step where I will again remind you to give yourself credit for the small successes or baby steps. Acknowledge the process, or the journey to getting to your goal.

4. Create a plan -
If you want to resolve something (hence the name resolution) coming up with a plan is a great way to do it! Break up your goal into smaller pieces. I like to think of it like a school project. Do research, write an outline, rough draft, make revisions, and rewrite. Voila! The project is complete! To come back out of the analogy and explain what I am trying to say -break it down into smaller pieces to reach your end goal. This makes it more attainable and helps you to realize the change won't occur over night!

5. Be Passionate!
Of course there is not a guarentee of completion unless you truly "buy into" the resolution. If it is really something you would like to change or do, make it happen! Nothing can stand in the way of a determined individual. Pick some things you are passionate about and the struggle to get to your goal will be a little less invasive.

6. Make it a family affair.
At Thanksgiving many families share what they are thankful for. Why not share your resolutions? Family and friends are a great way to keep you focused on your goal (and vica versa). It is also great when you have a partner in crime shooting for the same goal. Think of it as power in numbers! The more people you have on your side... the more likely you are to see results. What a great new tradition to start!

Change is always a scary and stressful thing for all of us. However, change can be great, and can bring new joys, loves, experiences, and happiness. You don't want to stop yourself from receiving these kind of things, do you? So what are you waiting for? Get out there and make your resolutions! And this year make them stick!

As always thank you for your referrals! Visit my webpage http://www.talkingtohelp.com/ for more information or to make an appointment. It is never too late to begin the journey to becoming your personal best!

Staying Skinny this Holiday Season

Staying Skinny This Holiday Season
Weight gain isn't inevitable if you show a little self-respect.
By Susan Woodward for MSN Health & Fitness


The average person gains seven to 10 pounds between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day, chef Dawn Hall recently informed me.

Seven to 10 pounds.

Putting on that kind of girth due to holiday over-indulgence is easy, Hall assured me. Taking it off come January is not a simple task, involving either routine workouts and/or a disciplined reduction in daily caloric intake.

"A lot of people do that cycle," said Hall, author of Busy People's Cookbooks (Cookbook Resources). "Then at some point along the line they have a hard time getting back on the bandwagon. It's very dangerous. You're playing with your health."

And for no good reason. The holidays are not a license to throw your healthy lifestyle habits out the door, said registered dietician Sylvia Klinger, who teaches community cooking classes in Chicago every Thanksgiving. They're a time to remain aware of how you treat your body. The following ideas can help guide you through the holiday season.

Plan
Mark all your holiday parties and get-togethers on a calendar and develop personal eating guidelines for each event, suggested Hall. "We handle situations better when we have a plan A and B," she said.

Avoid
Cured meats laden with salt and desserts containing large quantities of white flour and sugar are just the type of holiday favorites no one needs. They're the foods that give us a sense of heaviness and drowsiness after we've consumed them. "If you feel like falling asleep after you've eaten, that's a very good barometer, for sure!" said healthy cooking chef and television host Marvin Woods, who owns a restaurant in Florida.

Leading Fitness Experts Give The Gift Of Health To World With Biggest Ever Health and Fitness Giveaway

This Festive Season On Wednesday, December 10, Dax Moy and over 250 of the world's top fitness professionals will open the doors on the World’s largest ever health and fitness gift-giving, set to generate positive health for over 500,000 people this Christmas.

The program, called ’12 days of fitness’ initially began when the UK's leading fitness professional, Dax Moy, wanted to express his gratitude to his clients and offered them a gift a day for 12 consecutive days as his twist of the 12 Days of Christmas.
Last year Moy shared this idea with fellow fitness professional Pat Rigsby and they expanded the 12 Days of Fitness to include not only their own clients but to the world at large and gave fitness gifts to over 200,000 people who
signed up at the site at http://www.12daysoffitness.com/.

This year, with the help of 250 of the world's top personal trainers, nutritionists, therapists and specialist fitness experts, the 12 days of fitness is set to become the biggest fitness gift giveaway in history with expected downloads of over 500,000 between the 10th and 22nd of December.

"There’s never been another health event like this, where so many people stand to benefit from the expertise of true professionals for free” says Moy who has been working flat out to make this year’s 12 days a success.“Fitness professionals from around the globe have contributed hundreds of e-books, reports, videos, meal plans and other free gifts in their hope of making 2009 the year that anyone, regardless or their location, financial situation or past failures, can finally reach their fitness goals and make those New Year's Resolutions a reality once and for all.”
Perhaps the best part of the 12 Days of Fitness giveaway is that regardless of a persons health or fitness goals, there are going to be gifts specifically designed to help them achieve success."We've received gifts designed for busy mom's, elite athletes, bodybuilders, back pain sufferers and pretty much anyone else you can imagine covering everything from fat loss to rehabilitation and everything in between.There literally will be something for everyone this year and all of it free, making it, without a doubt, one of the most important gifts anyone will receive this year. After all, what’s more important than health?”

The 12 days of gift giving starts December 10th but those interested are urged to

Once enrolled, participants will get a daily email telling them how to access each of the new gifts that are being added each day as well as a reminder on how to access previous gifts.

3 excercises to Improve your Surfing

Surfing is a sport which requires a high level of balance due to the nature of the unstable surface (waves) that you surf on. In order to improve your balance and in turn your surfing ability,there are a number of simple exercises which can further develop your balance.

These exercises train the muscles which are responsible for your balancing ability, which includes your core muscles (abs and lowerback) and also the muscles through your hips.

To do these exercises you will need a stability (exercise) ball.

1. Knee balance - Kneel on the ball with your hands out to thesides for balance. Try and stay on the ball for 30 seconds withoutfalling off.
2. Knee balance with rotation - Kneel on the ball and hold anobject that weighs 3-5 kgs (eg medicine ball, weight plate). Hold the ball out at arms length and rotate it from one side of yourbody to the other whilst maintaining your balance. Do this for 30seconds.
3. Knee balance throw & catch - Kneel on the stability ball andthrow a basketball or medicine ball against a wall so you catch iton the rebound. Test yourself by throwing it at different angles.

Balance is only one fitness component that is important in youroverall fitness for surfing.

Staying fit and ready for Surfing

You find yourself a few weeks out of the water, and then all of a sudden the surf is up and you get back out there only to find that your upper body is stuffed after a few paddle outs.

How do you improve your paddle fitness when the surf is not firing so you are ready for action when the surf returns?
The answer is a simple one - Do some freestyle swimming workouts . Freestyle uses much the same muscle groups as paddling on a surfboard, so if you can do some regular swimming sessions this will go along way towards improving your upper body fitness.

However there is more to it than just cranking out a few laps at the local swimming pool. There are some specific interval training techniques that the "Total Surfing Fitness" workouts implement to help you get faster, better results. This swim training also includes variations of normal freestyle to address certain fitness needs of a surfer.
