New Years Weight Loss Resolutions You Can Live With

Consider making small changes in eating and exercise habits that you can live with. If you go from being a couch potato to running 5 miles a day, chances are your not going to hang in there too long. However, if you make more subtle changes, you are much more likely to stick with the changes and see the benefits from doing so. There are a few simple changes you can implement in your lifestyle that will greatly enhance over-all health and weight control. A New Years resolution is ok as long as it is something you continue for years to come. True success is found in the changes that last a life time, and not the fades that we try for a couple months causing the yo - yo dieting syndrome. Here are a few suggestions to get your thoughts in motion and perhaps lead to some changes that can make a difference in your life.

The first suggestions are very basic and leave a great deal of room for your own touch to complete them. Start by making sure you get five servings of fruits or vegetables per day. Consider a multivitamin in your routine as well. Get at least one hour of exercise a day, anything as long as you are up and being active. Walking is a great start, and as you progress you may become interested in other activities as well. Taking the dog for a walk, a glass of orange juice with breakfast and a V-8 later in the day can pretty much fulfill the first two suggestions. Finally, limit your time watching television, around two hours a day is a great goal to strive for. New Years resolutions don't have to be unreachable goals, they can be simple and easy to stick to.
