“Knowing where you are going is the first step to getting there.” Ken Blanchard

Happy New Year! Is 2010 going to be your year to be the fittest you have been in quite some time? Have you joined the ranks of the majority of our population that makes getting healthy their New Year’s resolution? If I’m talking to you… wonderful. I am proud of you for starting on this endeavor and hope and pray you do not quit within the first few weeks. You will not be one of the quitters if you follow what I believe is the most important factor to your success. And what is that factor?

You must first SEE yourself healthy and fit. I don’t care if you are 150lbs overweight or just 25lbs overweight. If the person who is 150lbs overweight can envision themselves at their desired weight then they will achieve it. And if the person that may only have to lose 15lbs but they just can’t see it and just don’t believe it will NOT achieve it. Sounds simple and it is.

Health and fitness is just another topic that many, many people have made seem very complicated but the reality is… pretty simple. However do not mistake simple with easy. Overall just a few simple changes in your life will make drastic changes in your health but that in no way means they are easy to accomplish.

So how do we go about Seeing ourselves fit? First we must recognize where we are right now! Get the camera out and take photos in a small bathing suit. The more skin showing less chance for you to hide stuff (i.e.: fat). Weigh yourself; get your body fat done, measure body parts. All this so you know exactly what shape you are in. You might even get a blood profile, bone density, cholesterol and blood pressure checks done at your Dr’s.

Next step is to envision where you want to be. How much do you want to weigh? What do you want your body fat to be? Are you looking to improve your blood pressure? Your cholesterol? Figure out exactly what you want to achieve and write it down. Do you have a picture in your head of how you want your body to look when you are at your desired weight? Then find one in a magazine like the one in your head and put it up on your frig or mirror in your bathroom… somewhere you can see it a couple times a day. And write down exactly where you want to be with all the details and when you want to be there.

Sit down and write out what you have to do daily to get there. In health and fitness pretty much all you have to do is exercise daily. Weight train 3 days a week, cardio 5-6 days a week for up to 60 minutes and try to eat 5-6 small meals through-out the day that consist of REAL food. Each meal should have a quality protein and carb with it. Not too complicated.

Sounds simple doesn’t it. And it is… now you just have to implement it and guess what? You will be achieving your goal in no time.
