Don't Give Up on Your Resolutions!!

Okay I know everyone is probably sick of any posts about the New Year but I just want to make one quick point. As everyone is starting their New Years resolutions of working out and dieting, we all know that it usually only lasts for the first week or two of January. Not to be a downer, but that is a fact. Today I was going through my journals from the past couple of years and I came across my entries from when I first began dieting and working out. I thought I would share a few of them with you. My hope is that you'll realize that the first week or two is the hardest. Once you get past that, it's a lot better! Be different than the rest of the world. Really really stick it out through January. I can almost guarantee that you won't want to quit after the first month!

"Dieting makes me so moody. I hate it so much already. This is the stupidest diet I've ever heard. I'm supposed to eat eggs, chicken and sweet potatoes for 6 months???? It's awful. There's no variety. I thought I would be eating lots of fruits and vegetables. And I thought eating healthy was supposed to make you feel good so why do I keep getting so tired and ornery? I already want to quit. I'm so sore and I hate that I'm so ornery which makes me even more ornery. This should be a happy time in my life. The last thing I want is to be in a bad mood for 6 months."

"I'm not going to let any of this body comp stuff get me down. Yes, it's hard and it's really frustrating but it wouldn't be such an accomplishment if it was easy. I'm more sore than I ever have been. I don't know how I'm going to do my workout tomorrow. I hope some sleep will help."

"I feel great!! It has officially been 1 week of my diet/exercise. Today I had my 1st cheat meal. Cheat meals are good for your body because.... I don't really know why but you really do lose more body fat if you have a cheat meal once in a while! But I really do feel great. Super happy and I have lots of energy! yay!"

Stick it out, guys!! You can be better than the average human! :)
