It's that time of year again. It's where we are can start over because this year is going to be different. Of course this is always easier said than done. It is important, though, that we do set some type of resolution or goal. If not you will never truly experience success. I am no different. Especially after the holidays at home. I don't get to see my mom much since I move to San Diego, so when I get a chance to have her home cooked meals and cookies and don't hold back. Here is my payback for all the amazing food you made this holiday.
10 Tips For Moms in 2010:
1. Keep an accurate food log. Don't guess at serving sizes. Measure your food out with a scale or measuring cups.
2. Start a strength training routine 3 times per week. Personal trainers will usually offer a free session or consultation to help you get started.
3. Stick with interval training instead of traditional cardio. More and more research is showing that interval training will burn more fat in less time.
4. Find a workout buddy to keep yourself accountable. You are more likely to stick with an appointment if you know someone is expecting you to be there.
5. Drink 16oz of water before each meal. This will dramatically reduce your hunger levels plus most people do not drink enough water throughout the day.
6. Keep your kids active. Not all exercise has to be structured. Running around playing with your children is a great way to have fun and burn calories.
7. Incorporate healthy eating habit with your children early on. The early they learn and practice good eating habits the better support they will be for your. Plus if you can prevent them from having to worry about weight issues it is an added bonus.
8. Treat going to fast food restaurants as surprises or rewards. When your kids expect you to take them to McDonald's whenever they want they will get use to it and want it more. Take them as a reward or a special occasion only.
9. Workout with your kids. Regardless of their age they should be able to do something with you. Even if it just means pushing them in a stroller. They will enjoy the extra time with mom.
10. Incorporate one habit at a time. New Years resolutions are difficult because it can be overwhelming to pick a goal for the entire year. Take it one step at a time and you will get to your goal.

I wish I'd had these tips when you were growing up! But it's never too late, so...I think I'll start using your hints now.
Thanks,
