New Year Resolution!!!!

As the New Year begins, quite a few of us choose "dieting" and "exercising" as a the #1 resolution.
This has to be for a good reason, it has to be a life changing commitment , you have to be willing to make the change permanently...your body will thank you.
You have to let your body know that you are willing to give it all of the best always. Not just because you are getting married, you are going on holidays, your daughter is getting married etc....it has to be something that you are willing to promise yourself forever.
When choosing a resolution make sure that it is an attainable one, create some realistic goals that are possible to reach. Try to live it in a way that doesn't abuse your body (like extreme work-outs 7 days a week or eating one apple a day???).
You have to let your body know that it will always have good healthy food choices coming to it each day (eat 6 times a day, three main meals and three snacks). That you will also give it plenty of water, good nutrients and vitamins, great tasting organic food and lots of rest. Don't forget that relaxation, pampering and reasonable exercising does a body good as well.
We rarely take the time to make ourselves #1. Why don't you try my resolution ( I call it more a way of life).This is the one that I personally choose every year and it seems to work for me.

"I promise to give my body the best that I can give it (it is the most important tool that I have , God gave it to me and I have to respect it). I promise to eat a good balanced diet and exercise regularly (to relieve daily stressors and help myself stay in good form). I promise to love and respect my family and friends (they are the most important beings in my life). I promise to try to do something that can better the lives of others (cooking seminars).

There you go, these are all attainable and realistic goals and I know that I can achieve every one of them if I maintain a good well-balanced healthy lifestyle...go ahead and try it you will see that you get out of life what you put into it....

Click on the following videos to learn more about how we have become a society that consumes way too many calories, when healthier alternatives are always there in front of us daily. These videos are real eye-openers and make us realize how easy it is to put on the pounds without realizing it and how the big companies that profit from this everyday just keep getting a fatter wallet and are laughing all the way to the bank.

Stay healthy and best of luck in 2011, may all of your dreams come true!!!
