New Year's resolutions

Wow! How is it already the 6th January?? This year seems to be whizzing by already. How are you getting on with sticking to New Year's resolutions? I know a lot of people haven't gone back to work yet and it seems they are starting then. Is that the case for you? I haven't made a resolution for this year but I am determined to make it my best yet both personally and in business.

I am however, not drinking alcohol for the rest of January. Although I didn't drink very much of Christmas and New Year, I feel I need a bit of a health kick and it will help hugely with my half marathon training. I can't run if I've been drinking the night before (even just a couple of glasses). Later this month I will also be doing JCI's pound a day diet to highlight the poverty some people live in. We have £7 to feed ourselves for the week and the rest of the money we would have spent on food is given to charity. You can't drink on that amount and I'm going to have to give up my coffee!

Onto the fitness side of things, with JCI we are going to organise some runs and walks which I will be taking part in. I decided to run the half marathon before it was decided on as a JCI activity because I would love to achieve something like that and want this to be the year I really improve my fitness. I've also be doing Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred exercise DVD which is amazing. She has a few which are all available online and I would definitely recommend them. A friend and I do them together which is good motivation. On Friday, we did the 40 minute problem area workout and I still ache from that! The 20 minute workouts are great if you don't have much time or want to start off more gently. If exercise is on your agenda but you can't afford a gym membership then definitely look at these.

The Real Food Club launch is tomorrow (Monday 7th) at Molly's tea room (Godfrey's Garden Centre, J31 of the M1). It's a free event and start at 7pm so feel free to pop in if you are interested in joining. The meetings kick off on Monday 14th with Molly's at 7pm and Thursday 17th at Zest, Upperthorpe, Sheffield. We are also looking to hold a small group in Chesterfield on a Wednesday evening. There are 3 places left at this one if anyone is interested. Comment below or email info@wisechoicenutrition.co.uk

Happy New Year
