New Age Life - Your Guide to a Better Lifestyle

I recently stumbled upon a fitness community where people help/motivate each other to attain their fitness goals. It is free to join. Link: www.PeerTrainer.com

I got this email from them today:

Hi There,

I hope you’ve scheduled something that you’re looking forward to today.

Today’s tip is to think about a plan for meeting your goal. This is another of
the core organizing themes of this email program, goal setting and expectation
setting. You might have heard this again and again, but you have to have a
plan, you have to have a map to where you are going.

When you start to change your habits, you start to get more granular and
focused on your portion sizes you are entering a new zone. This introduces
some stress, some discomfort and it is easy to get off track. Having a solid plan
functions as a guardrail to keep you on track.

We have put together a 5 step guide to this planning process. Again, we are
throwing a lot at you here, and the idea is to get some fundamentals in place
that we will be continually reinforcing:

One of the key components of the plan is to find support.

Many of you have had a chance to start logging on PEERtrainer and have
found a group. If you are not ready yet or you have a different support
mechanism that is fine.

But the most important thing is to know you are being presented with a proven
set of concepts, as well as a proven framework to follow through. No matter
what you do, know that change is possible.

On my blog, I have some very specific things that I do personally in my life in

terms of goal setting and planning and I even have some videos up there if you’d

like even more ideas to help you construct your plan:

Nutritional Aspect:

> Strawberries and honey are rich in anti-oxidants. Helps enhance immune system. Heck, they are tasty as well!

> Almonds provide rich source of Vitamin E and magnesium. They are good anti-cancer element.

> Pineapples are rich in Vitamin C and bromelain which helps in tissue repair mechanisms that will help your cells heal quicker. They are also vital for immune system.

> Low fat cheese - Some of you might frown at me for this, but understand this - when you have this in less quantity, it is healthier than you imagine. Fat is essential nutrition for our body. Low fat cheese is rich in calcium and proteins.

So, what is stopping you from trying it? Please enter your comments and share your ideas.
