The other day I got an email from one of our Personal Training clients, Betsy, …and I thought I would share it with you – because it was such a  GREAT idea!

Guys!  I have found that I don’t like drinking water!  This sounds ridiculous, but everything seems tastier than drinking  water (except after a workout). Anyway, a while back I asked for tips to drink more water since my percentage is always low. I’ve heard others struggle with this so here are my new-found tips!
1. Buy a cute cup you like!
2. Super giant water bottles made me feel I would never finish drinking and it was too big in tow with the girls, diaper bag, etc. others were too small and made me feel I was drinking every minute. This is 17 oz.and seems just right!  For my weight I have to drink 5 of these cups a day. Not that daunting
3. My new goal: drink 5 of these glasses each day before I’m allowed to drink anything else!! (exception: coffee in the morning)

Great job Betsy!  As always you rock with your enthusiasm and continual processes towards your goals!!!

If you’re just starting an exercise program, or perhaps coming back after a short holiday vacation, just remember that a slow start is your best bet. 

It’s easy to be excited about getting results, and right now, while your resolve is fresh, you probably want to give your exercise program everything you’ve got. 

But in order to go the distance, give yourself a chance to build up the intensity. 

Injuries are the primary reason that people give up on exercise.  And too much, too soon is the main reason for injuries. 

Be excited about what you’re doing.  Give it your all.  But be smart, be strategic, and stay in for the long haul.

In The Art of War, Sun Tzu says "The battle is always won before you set foot on the battlefield." 

He’s talking about strategy. 

When you you want to accomplish anything, including creating a healthy life, creating a plan is your best bet. 

It doesn’t have to be complicated. 

In fact, the more simple, the better. 

But make a plan and write it down.  Make it as specific as possible and make it realistic.

Here’s an example:  I will go to the gym 3 times this week; I will pack my lunch 4 days this week; I will get to bed by 10:00 PM every night this week; I will drink at least 8 glasses of water every day; and I will call the doctor’s office and schedule my annual physical by next Monday. 

Nothing too difficult – simple things that will add up and make a profound difference.

If you want to survive the holidays, you should take the time to pre-plan which meals you will indulge in.

Will you treat yourself to the office work party? Or perhaps you’d like to save yourself to indulge when you and your significant other cook a fancy dinner together.

As long as you plan for the indulgence and stick to your diet the rest of the time, you shouldn’t have a problem meeting your weight maintenance goals.  It’s when no plan is in place that you’ll start to falter as you’ll either restrict yourself entirely and then binge because of these highly restricted feelings or you’ll start to indulge a little too much and show no self-control.

Planning sets you up for success.

You have a couple of days left to finish your holiday shopping. 

Here are our best ideas for those last minute healthy stocking stuffers. 

For the athletic folks on your list, try a heart rate monitor or GPS watch. (Look at Luke’s Locker, or Whole Earth Provisions.  You don’t have to go to the mall, and they have really cool stuff.) 

For the stressed out mom or executive, how about a certificate for a massage or mani/pedi.  (Wherever you live, just look up "day spa.") 

And for the person new to fitness, we love a good pedometer.  (Omron is our favorite – you can still get it from Amazon if you order it right now and choose 1 day shipping!) 

There are so many more important things than giving gifts.  But extending yourself by giving the gift of health is a great option.
