Countdown to 2007: Get Set...by Catherine Ipcizade | More from this Blogger Okay, so you've thought about your weight loss goals for 2007. You've decided what you'd like to accomplish. You've gotten your house ready by stocking up on fresh fruits and vegetables (or you've at least made a grocery list to do so), and you've stockpiled enough water to fill a river. Your couch has been pushed to the side of the room to make room for your new mini-trampoline, and you've got the big cans of crushed tomatoes in your cabinet, because every weight loss success knows that those cans make excellent arm weights before you turn them into marinara sauce. But now what? What do you do once you've set your goals and prepared your house, but the New Year is still a few days away? Relax. Simply live consciously. Or better yet, why not start making changes now? Who said you had to wait for January 1st to jump on the bandwagon and take charge of your life? What's wrong with today? Nobody said losing weight was easy. But no one said it had to be downright painful either. Start with small changes now and soon your body will be ready for bigger changes. Decide on new rules that fit your own life, not someone else's. Make changes that will work for you long term, not just in the here and now. Take the time before New Year to tell your friends and family about your goals. Accountability is a useful tool in keeping your resolutions. After all, a resolution on paper is effective only until you wad up the paper and throw it in the trash. But a resolution spread by word of mouth holds you accountable. Ask a trusted friend to check up on you once a week. A friend who shares your weight loss goals may be the best one to ask, but make sure it's not a friend who will wind up leading you back to your vices. Get set, my friend. 2007 is almost here. A new year and a new you. Who will you be in 2007 that you didn't dare to be in 2006? Tell me your story! Related Articles: What Was YOUR Defining Moment? Here's Mine...
