Posted on July 16, 2008 in General, Mom, Exercise, Nutrition by Emilie

Oh my! It’s July!

If you are anything like me, you are running every which direction, and have completely lost track of your New Year’s Resolutions. What’s that? New Year’s you say? Who is thinking of that anymore? Well, I just got back from a 2 week vacation, and my batteries are RECHARGED! The first week was on the beach. The second week was spent with my son and stepson. My son and I went for morning walks each day so that my stepson could sleep in.

Now that I’ve recharged, I’m ready to get back on track with my goals. Are you? I will help you by giving you a surge of new tips, so that we are all making lasting changes and seeing improvements in our lives daily!

Let’s review our first 5 25 Easy Changes to a New You:

You are drinking lots of water, doing squats often, eating more fruit, stopping your meals when you are full, and eating a protein bar instead of a candy bar.

Change #6: Don’t worry about the past!

Benefit: Who cares if you haven’t done everything you wanted to do yet?  Who cares if you started off strong and fizzled out?  Don’t beat yourself up!  Just be proud of what you have accomplished and start over again.  Give yourself permission to not be perfect.  We all are human!  It really helps to look at things in a broader time scale.  Don’t look at what you didn’t do yesterday, but look at what you have done over the past few months.  Even if you did nothing, start fresh!  I keep getting Christmas in July flyers, so I realize we must be half-way through the year.  Time to make some progress! 

As with my past tips, this is good for both pregnant and non-pregnant women (and men!).

Drink up! Do some squats! Grab an apple! Chew some gum! Grab a protein bar!  Don’t worry about the past!
