It is now February so I am checking in with all the folks who made 2010 New Year’s Resolutions to get healthier! How is it going? Did you choose a couple of simple target goals? Remember, keep it realistic with your life constraints. Choose a couple things to change and then BE CONSISTENT! Even if you are just dropping some foods from your diet or adding some simple physical activities – CONSISTENCY IS KEY!

Okay, it is time for those annual resolutions to get healthy and fit but have you made that resolution before??? This time ask yourself the big question…Why? Is it just for appearances or do you really want to maximize your quality of life with the people you care about by improving your health? The right motivation is key to achieving the permanent change you are looking for since it requires dedication. Remember appearance is just a side benefit of a healthy body! Look for my upcoming seminars in 2010 to be posted on my site at www.lyndaleesmith.net. Happy New Year!

See the article I wrote for FatGirlsGuidetoLiving.com on connecting the mind and muscles through simple stretching morning and evening.

Most people find the holidays a weight challenge given the abundance of wonderful foods! Try adding a few extra “steps” to your daily holiday schedule such as always seeking a parking space in the back of the parking lot. Make parking in the back a habit at the malls, grocery stores, and even parking decks. Adding additional brisk steps to your daily holiday routine takes little time but burns some additional calories daily which adds up. Make the most of it by keeping a brisk pace. This is one of those simple physical activities that can carry over from the holiday season and become the norm! Happy Holidays!

I will be at a book signing tonight from 4-8 and Saturday from 10-4. The location is Jazzy Junque Furniture located in the strip mall across the street from The Regal Theater. Address is 9775 Medlock Road, Duluth, GA 30097.
I will have extra books on hand if someone needs to purchase one. Even if you don’t, just come by and say hello! Lots of other fun activities going on as well!
