have become a bit cliché, the New Year is a great time to re- flect on the past year and plan for contin- ued self improve- ment. This year, I en- courage you to con- sider your journey over the past year and use your results as momentum to begin 2014 on the right
W
foot. Rather than focus on a weight loss goal or setting unrealistic fitness goals, I encourage you to consider a few behaviors that greatly impact your overall wellness. Below are a few ideas to help you voyage to a healthier you in 2014:
1. Choose Health: Rather than thinking about a resolution as a number on the scale or a eating a certain number of car- bohydrates per day, look at the big picture. Think about your daily behaviors and ask yourself if are you moving toward or away “optimal” on the health scale. Adopt a 2014 mindset that helps you make healthy choices on the fly. 2. Sleep: Our 24/7 culture tells us it’s “sexy” to sacrifice sleep so that we can work like robots to get more and more done. Unfortunately that catches up with us and leaves us sick and tired. Tip: Create a sleep ritual that makes you excited about going to bed. Have a cup of hot tea or read a chapter of a great book. 3. Forgive: Letting go of long-held resent- ment in our hearts can relieve a huge burden from one’s shoulders along with a lot of stress. Approach forgiveness as a heart condition that doesn’t necessarily involve interaction with the other party. 4. Hydrate: Prioritize water. Aim for a minimum of 80 ounces per day to help your body function optimally. Tip: Keep a refillable and durable water bottle with you at all times. 5. Lift Weights: Incorporate heavy weight training into your weekly routine. Aim for

A Healthier You in 2014
hile New Year’s Res- olutions
2 to 3 full body work- outs per week. Tip: Choose challenging weights that create a need for rest after 19 to 12 reps
6. Eliminate wheat and dairy from your diet: Weight loss re- sistance, GI upset, skin problems and much more can be attributed to food sen- sitivities. Commit to eliminating the top 2 allergens and see
how your health improves. Tip: Be sure to stay away from gluten free “junk food”. Most gluten free packaged foods are very high in sugar and starch. 7. Cook: We are so accustomed to con- venience foods and take out that we are often eating many more toxins, additives, and preservatives than we should. Commit to using your crockpot or cooking one pan/pot stovetop meals full of protein and veggies 3 times per week. Tip: Buy pre- chopped veggies from a local grocery store to save time 8. Be You: Give yourself permission to be authentic. Graciously share your opinions and listen to those of others. Enjoy getting to know yourself instead of constantly trying to be more like the person who you think “has it all”. Tip: Embrace compli- ments. Respond with a genuine “thank you” and allow yourself to feel good about the gifts you have that bless others.
Here’s to a healthier you in 2014!!!
Enjoy the ride and don’t let setbacks lead to quitting. Focus on the big picture and don’t sweat the small stuff. You’ve got this and you’re WORTH it!!
