Has The Christmas Turkey Got You Gaining A Few Pounds?

It's that time of year, when it is so easy to indulge in all the lovely food prepared by your mothers, aunts, sisters, friends and the like.

 Why is it that once a year we tend to really PIG OUT and eat about a zillion calories all in two to three days over the Christmas Period.

Then, when our skirts or jeans feel a little tight we moan about it, then make that fatale New Years Resolution to lose some weight!

 How many people out there will stick to a new exercise and eat healthy regime for longer than two weeks? The answer sadly is not many.

So how can you begin to lose those calories and inches succesfully without having to feel guilty about it?

First things first, YOU have to be mentally prepared to go the distance and aim to lose the weight goal you have put in place for yourself.

Secondly, who will make you accountable for your actions? If you get a weight loss buddy this will help you both to keep on trace.

Third, be prepared, it is when we are least prepared with our daily snacks and food that we tend to binge eat, or snack on the wrong things. If you plan your daily menu from breakfast, lunch and dinner with two healthy snacks in between, this is the first step to becoming succesful in losing those additional pounds.

Make sure the food you eat is one that you like, and does not have to be 'diet food', just eat sensible, and cut out junk food, cakes and biscuits and soda where possible.

Fourth, have an exercise regime, this could be a 30 minute walk at lunch time, or find an activity that you enjoy, such as salsa, pole dancing or otherwise. Going to the gym can be isolating and boring, and if you are not a self motivated person then you will be wasting a lot of money joining up.

More hints and tips coming your way so watch out for these in coming blog posts.

Goal Setting - Are you in the 3% Who Succeed?

 We are now into week 3 of the year 2011.  How many people do you think have given up on their New Year's resolutions and goals?  Are you in the 80% of people who have failured to carry through their 'improved health', or  improved 'wealth' plans, change of job and other resolutions that have now fallen to the wayside.


We see this time and time again each new year comes, people want to stop smoking,lose weight, change jobs, these are some of the top resolutions and 9 times out of 10 always are never seen to fruition.  How could you guarantee achieving your goals or resolutions?  If this could be bottled, someone would be very rich out there.


Goal setting is a way to ensure you achieve your new year's resolutions.  Behind each goal there has to be a reason.  It is important that this reason is one which keeps you focussed and on track at all times.  You need to be clear about the reason why you are achieving the goal in the first place.

Here is a short video I put together on goal setting which details all the steps you need to take to ensure success:



Secondly, mindset is key to achieving any goal which is set.  Here's some  great books that will help you with your goal setting from Amazon:The Magic Lamp: Goal Setting for People Who Hate Setting Goals, Goal Setting 101 : How to Set and Achieve a Goal!, A Guide To Goal Setting And Success In Life (Self Help Series)

 Putting your goals into action will help you achieve them,but remember to keep your focus and your reason why you are working towards your goals in the first place.  You may want to make yourself accountable, by telling friends and family of your goals will help you to keep focussed.

Keep Focused and be in the 1%....
