My New Year's Resolution

Second day of the new year and I’m beginning my resolutions. Just like the rest of America, my top resolutions are to eat healthier, workout, and lose weight. Most people tend to abandon these resolutions before the end of January. I just hope I’m not one of those people.

I have started eating healthier by going on this military diet. This diet is only three days long and it tells you what to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. After the third day you take a four day break from the diet, but should still continue to eat healthy and workout. You then begin the diet again after the fourth day. I’m hoping this diet will teach me how to be a healthier eater and motivate me to keep eating healthy on my own without the help of a diet that tells me what to eat.

Now for the working out part of the resolution…I have a gym membership at Planet Fitness, but have not been there since the beginning of December. The reason I haven’t been going to the gym lately is because it’s winter now. The sun goes down earlier, it’s colder, and there’s always a holiday party to go to with ton and tons of food and holiday themed desserts. I have it set in my mind right now that I will make my way to the gym a little later today, but we’ll see how that goes since I’ll probably just want to take a nap instead.

I started this blog yesterday, the second day of the new year, and I’m happy to say that day one of my diet and workout have been a success! I followed the military diet throughout the whole day with absolutely no cheating. Also, my sister and I went to the gym an hour after dinner. It was extremely crowded, so I guess I’m right when I say most of America has the same New Year’s resolution as I do. I started out on the bike for a half hour, which burned 155 calories off of me; not a lot but it’s better than nothing. I then continued to do a variety of workouts from working my abs to working my arms and legs. I’m hoping I can keep this up by staying confident and motivated, and always thinking that this will all be worth it in the end when I’m a healthier person inside and out. It’s a new year and a new me.
