So how am I doing on my New Year’s Resolutions?

Here are my January 31, 2010 updates. These bi-weekly reports are helping me to keep accountable, focused and on-track for reaching my New Year’s resolutions.

Florida Beaches

1. Positive Attitude – managing to with the extreme cold weather and trying to ward off Cabin Fever.

2. Manage my time better - When I get up each morning I immediately do my Yoga and meditation exercises as it helps keep my stress level and attitude in check.  I’m continuing to learn my Internet marketing, social networking and my blog.  Every day I try to balance work and play.  It is a challenge and as many of us experience we get out of balance so easy.

3. Like the movie – Pay it Forward - I was able to help a friend out by attending a new Yoga class in another town.  Quite a few friends showed up in her support of starting classes at a new location.

The Proposal

4. For the little successes, I have, I will celebrate in a happy healthy way. - I’m continuing with changing my diet and lost 4 pounds in the month of January.  It is a start and one that I am pleased with.

5. Laugh more – I was able to laugh more this month by watching the movie with Sandra Bullock’s, “The Proposal”.  It is one of my all time favorites.

6. Be aware of the changes you make each day, keep moving forward. I’m reporting and sharing my diet and exercise progress with a good friend of mine and maintaining my personal journal.

7. Get out of my comfort zone. As I get further into this Internet marketing it is helping me expand my self in areas that I have not in the past. coming up with ideas to blog about is quite a challenge at times, as you may have noticed.  Leave me a comment with any suggestions you may have.

8. Be realistic about your resolutions – I still believe that I have made very real and reachable goals while also be prepared for the unexpected – like more snow and freezing temperatures.

9. Be invested 100% in yourself – I am committed in 2010.  I will dedicate myself and stay focused and do what I need to do to get back into shape in my body, mind and soul. Even to the point of resisting Brownies, I did not eat any only smelled them when they were cooking.  That is will power.

10. Lose weight at a steady and healthy rate until I reach my goal weight. In January I lost a total of 4 pounds and feel it is a very good start for me.

I practiced meditation and yoga for 17 of the 31 days or 55% of the days  in January.  I’m continuing to keep a health journal to track my food and exercise progress. This is very important to write it down and to see the progress I am making. I strongly suggest you do it also.
