Resolutions

So how are those Low-Carb New Year's resolutions coming? I'd like to add one to them if you don't mind. Be patient. Remember Things Take Time. Impatience is the death of most diet and exercise regimens, whether undertaken for the new year or at any other time. In our podcast, Dana Carpender examines the expectations of Low-Carb Resolutions and how to turn them into Low-Carb Reality.

It is said that it takes 21 days to implement habit. Give your family 3 full weeks of consistency and you might be surprised at what all of you can achieve!

At a time when most people are thinking about setting short-term goals, Dana Carpender suggests this one overarching resolution: To continually keep in mind the line between what we can change and what we can’t change, and to frequently check in on our assumptions about the difference.

It's time for our annual reminder of the relentless passage of time that makes New Year's Day a great time to rededicate ourselves to achieving and preserving a healthy lifestyle. In the interests of doing just that, here are some suggestions for low carb New Year's resolutions.

What if we remove "resolutions" from our dictionary? What if we resolve to wave farewell to the grandiose January 1, New Year's Day Resolutions? What if we attack this whole resolution nonsense differently? What if we decide to set goals instead of resolutions? Susie T. Gibbs has some great suggestions for setting proper goals.

I like New Year's Resolutions. Yes, I know most people don't keep them for very long. However, here are a list of resources for successful Low Carb New Years Resolutions

Habits - good or bad, we all have them. It's the bad habits that get us into trouble, and, sadly, most people will admit they probably have more bad habits than good ones. So as the new year rolls in, we start thinking about making resolutions. I'm not the biggest fan of resolutions, simply because they generally tend to end in guilt and self-defeating attitudes. I propose we do away with resolutions for 2012. Instead, let's just work on changing habits, one step at a time. No deadlines, no pressure.

How are those New Years Resolutions coming? I'd like to add one to them for you, if you don't mind: Be patient.

Ah, the start of the new year... What could be better? It's a fresh slate, a clean sweep, and you can't help feeling hopeful. No matter how good (or bad) last year was, there is always the potential for this coming year to be better. Choosing your New Year's Resolutions.

No one ever makes a new year's resolution like this: "This year I resolve to find a product which will magically turn me thin, and I resolve to buy it." No one ever makes a new year's resolution like this, either: "This year I will find a magic expert to take over my life and by following them exactly I will lose weight."

New Year's Resolutions are promises that we make to ourselves. Some of us believe in making New Year's resolutions; some don't. I happen to believe in them. I believe that it is our obligation to strive to better ourselves, and that making promises to ourselves to do certain things (or not do certain things, as the case may be) will help us to accomplish our goals is one tool we can use to improve ourselves. The trouble is that most of us don't know squat about making effective promises - to ourselves or to anybody else.
