Happy New Year!
Or is it?
Is 2012 looking very similar to 2011 already?
Are you in need of a change?
Well rather than make big resolutions this year why not make small ones - just for today, just for now?
What can you do now that will help you change?
If you're overweight maybe you could plan a healthy evening meal - add an extra vegetable, cut a slice of bread or a potato. No, it's not much but it's a start.
Maybe you could run up and down stairs NOW! GO!
If the change seems to big you're less likely to start so why not look at what you can do now, today. Then look again tomorrow.
If you want to stop smoking how about cutting down half of one today. Then again tomorrow.
If you need to reduce stress stop. Now. Breathe. Breathe again. Breathe again. OK you can carry on now.
Take a quick and easy assessment of where you are now.
Check your weight and BMI (do it on a website it's much too complicated otherwise!)
Are you overweight? How much do you want to lose in pounds? Divide it by 2. This is the number of weeks it will take at 2lbs a week. Add a month to give yourself leeway. What will you be doing then? What will you look and feel like?
Need more motivation to take control? Is your blood pressure high? How's your cholesterol?
Is your resting heart rate between 60 and 79 beats a minute? Lower? Great! Higher? Your health is at risk!
Take one step NOW towards change. Tomorrow you can take another step!
