Alright, I’m finally back into the swing of things. From Thanksgiving to New Years I have an out of control schedule but I’m back now.

New Years resolutions have always confused me. People always pick something they know they have to do and decide that this is the year they are going to make it happen. Does that seem silly to anyone else? Sounds like procrastination to me. If your new found resolution is so good for you, why did you feel the need to wait until a new year?

Ive heard them all. All of the benchmarks people use for their new lifestyle change. Birthdays coming up, turning 40, holiday party’s and the first day of summer etc. If you miss one just aim for the next one coming up right? These events are really your best excuse for turning your life around?

Being in the fitness business I know exactly what happens when people make their life changing decisions this way. They stick to it for maybe 6 weeks and then they start to fade.

Honestly, life changes are a really hard and important decision to make. Its going to take more than just a benchmark in society to convince yourself that this change is really going to happen.

Maybe we should be looking somewhere else for the push and desire to change our lives.
