Two Weeks Into Your New Year Resolutions

It's been two weeks since most of us have made our weight loss new year resolutions.  I'm curious to see if you've been able to keep them up, as it's the dedication that will help you meet your fitness goals.  If you break weight loss down to the basics, it comes down to just two main components. 

Eating:  Your eating is the key to the fight, so fuel your body with lean healthy whole foods.  Or if you choose to look at it from a calories perspective, try calories in versus calories out.  If you don't know how many calories you should be consuming just to maintain your weight.  Check out this website: http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm .  Although nothing is 100% accurate, it's a good starting point to figuring out what your maintenance level for calorie consumption should be at.

Exercise:  You don't have to spend hours of time at the gym, but you should be doing activities that will burn off the excess calories you have consumed.  It can be as simple as taking a walk around the neighbourhood for an hour each night.  Just try doing some sort of activity every couple of days, daily would be ideal, but we all know how busy our schedules can get.

Weight loss isn't rocket science, if you're able to stick to it, you should see the results that you desire.  The new year has just begun and you've committed yourself to this resolution.  Let's not make it a fad, let's make it a new way of living.

I'd love to hear how you are doing with things, so feel free to message me with your progress or problems!
