2018

 New year - New Beginnings - New Healthy Habits  

"This is the year that things are going to change 

How many times have I said this to myself and failed miserably.

This time it is going to be different .... Why?
because I have a new revised strategy-plan of approaching healthy living by making small changes

The single Biggest healthy living goal is to simplify  

To reach the ultimate simplification stage, there are a couple of smaller habits that must be changed. (I have learned the hard way that one do not try to eliminate a habit, the better way is to change it). Saying things like "form today I'm only going to drink green smoothies". Is a sure way to set yourself up for a letdown.

Make changes slow and easy. 
​
Master Strategy

• Gratitude - Lookup, watch sunrises/sunsets more often We have so many few of them left 
• De-clutter everyday. not only physically but mentally also 
• Feed more frequently - every 2 to 2.5 hours. Somewhere I heard that  one's metabolism starts to slow down after a period  2 hrs and by feeding regular one tricks it to keep on burning fat at full speed. Most people now would get up in arms saying eating more is going to make them bigger.

This is where one of my small habits changes kicks in, instead of eating till I'm stuffed. I now dived my meal in half and eat the other half in 2.5 hrs later. (with this method I do not feel deprived)
The ultimate goal is to make every meal the same amount(volume) of your fist size but I haven't reach that bench mark yet!

• Exercise - Everyday for at least 25 minutes (Cardio) and Weights 4 times a week
• Family-time - Just enjoy every moment you have with them with no pressure and expectations.

That is my Big goals for 2018 and I also have a couple of smaller goals but I haven't made a plans to implement them yet. So I guess you can just call them dreams.
