Resolutions... Some love them, some hate them, some make them, some break them... So what's a fitness gal to do? Blog about them of course! If you're reading this now, 1/2/12, then you've probably already given this topic some thought. But what have you decided? Are you ready to be SMART> (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, timely)? That's truely the key - Make it, Shout it, Do it! Get everyone you know involved. It has to become part of your lifestyle or it won't stick.
But maybe you're reading this and thinking... But Shanna, I don't really have anything specific I want to accomplish. My first response would be - Satisfaction breeds complaceny. My old weight lifting partner penned this phrase on the front of our training log years ago and it has been stuck in my head since. Then along came a bootcamper who constantly reiterated - Be here now; and now years later somehow the 2 have melded together in my head. To truely live in the moment, don't we need a challenge ~ something to stive for? Something better than "SATISFIED"?
So try this one on for size... I just want to feel awesome. Feel alive. Be full of energy every single day. I want to love life. And know that making healthy, active choices will get you to that point. Now, I think that's S.M.A.R.T.!
So 1) shout your goals/resolutions/heart felt thoughts from the roof tops 2) Find some partners in crime who will hold you accountable to the shouting 3) be Consistent ( I can't say enough about this part, well actually I can but you'll have to wait 'til the next blog) 4) beat out 50% of people who make resolutions by making it a lifestyle... Preferably a TUFF one!
