One of the top tips you can follow to attain your health and fitnessgoals.

Okay, I'm going to give it to you straight.

If you are serious about changing your weight/health/fitness level/lifestyle; logging your fuel is imperative. Specially in the beginning. 

You are right. It is a habit that will have to be formed and may take a while to get used to but it doesn't HAVE to be a manual log. ...with all of the technology out there, it can be on your phone or on a web site. On a blog or even Facebook!! 

It will, WITHOUT fail, hold you accountable for all that you take in. H2o AND fuel. 

Now, at the start you may not like what you are logging. And that's alright. In time you will be more and more aware of what you are putting into your mouth and why. 

It's that fact that will help you create new habits on how you fuel and hydrate. 

In my 20yrs of experience in losing weight, no diet is really necessary. Just work at sticking to mostly natural foods and limit your portions and frequency of the processed ones. ;) 

(And get active... Of course.)

Log on my bloggers!!! And if you don't know where to log, I cordially invite you to log here!!! I will gladly walk beside you on your journey to a better you.

These shoes never let me down

I've had these shoes what feels like 'forever'. I try not to splurge on my hobbies. But today I am grateful that they got me thru this snow filled and icy run. No slips. No falls. Even endured some 'high knees' to get thru some snow banks.

It wasn't long. ...only 2 miles but it is my first work out in about two or three months again. 

Now, I only share this with you to prove to you that we are ALL fighting our own battles against weight loss and/or a healthier lifestyle. (all the time. on and off again.) However, the secret is to never give up. 

At some point all the excuses that you can come up with just don't matter. If you really want change, if you truly believe that you are worth it; then it's the most realistic possibility that you CAN achieve it.

Just NEVER GIVE UP. Never think that anyone else has it easier. Grab a hold of some positive and motivational people and get going!! ...if that's what it takes.

Today, I thank my Facebook family. Every post about your efforts in staying on track has helped to get me off the pitty sideline of excuses.
For that, I thank you.

Now make a plan. Set a goal. And get off the sideline of life.

Happy 14th of January!!
