Happy New Year

Here's a rerun of an old post.  Still timely. Enjoy.

1.  Use that Home Fitness Gear

Ok.  You got a bunch of fitness stuff for Christmas.  What were they trying to tell you???  Never mind.  Just use it.  Even the most worthless of gear can be used for overhead presses.  Don't go gonzo and burnout by Valentines Day though.  Slow and steady.

2.  Eat Clean(er)

This is what its all about.  If you live on pizza and ice cream, you will be fat and unhealthy (sooner or later).  Even worse, you will spoil your appetite for healthy food.  Shop for fresh fruit and vegetables and lean meats like beef and chicken breast.  Avoid fast food.  All the exercise in the world will do you very little good if you go home and pig-out.

3.  Get Maximum Sleep.

Get as much sleep as possible.  Aim for 8 hours.  Discipline yourself to go to bed early.  Cut caffeine by the late afternoon.  Get your room nice and dark and cool.  Sleep is when your body repairs itself.  Most fat people are sleep-deprived.

4.  Drink Lots of Water.

Water is one of the most important nutrients used by your body.  You could easily be walking around dehydrated and not know it.  Have a big glass of water when you get up in the morning and sip water regularly throughout the day.  Even if you enjoy coffee or tea throughout the day...have some water too.

5.  Tap into the Energy

Call it jealousy.  Call it envy. Call it frustration, anger, whatever.  You can look like that.  You want to look like that.  Why not make yourself look like that?  Why should she get the all the compliments?  Why should he or she be proud of the way they look, while you're ashamed?  COMPETE!  Tap into that dark negative emotion and turn it into something good.

6.  Set Some Definitive Goals

Set a realistic goal and give yourself a deadline.  Next - figure out how you're going to get there.  Then focus on it.  Winners keep going.  Losers go home.  Be shrewd and tough on yourself.
