Your best life, your best body is not a fantasy, it is right there waiting for you to grab hold and accept what is rightfully yours. Stop making excuses, stop procrastinating, start by taking action and do it today. You know you want to be the best that you can be, and you have the potential to achieve a healthier lifestyle.

So many times, we prioritize all other matters before our own health. From financial concerns, to job duties, to household tasks to taking care of others, we find ways of putting all these things ahead of our own health and at the risk of our own happiness.

Taking care of oneself is not a selfish trait. It is essential for your psychological, emotional and physical well-being. It is an all-important responsibility that will ensure a healthier and happier existence for you and those who love you. One of the best things about taking care of yourself is that you have the energy and peace of mind to help others.

Nurture yourself every single day. Start each morning with a healthy breakfast, taking time to enjoy every bite of your food. Eat nutritious foods and exercise daily or at least 6 times a week. A healthy and active lifestyle will bring you joy beyond belief. Be good to yourself body, mind and soul.

Repeat your daily affirmations, providing the positive reinforcement that will help you meet the challenges of the day. Allow time for prayer or meditation. When you make the positive decision to live a healthier lifestyle and follow it up with action, everything will begin to change. From the way you look to the way you think, a healthier, more active lifestyle brings positive transformation.

Do it today. For yourself, your family and your friends, you have everything you need to achieve your goal. The time for excuses is over, take control and make the commitment. I know you can do it. You have the potential to live life to the fullest.

Begin your quest for a healthier lifestyle with a journal to chart your goals and help drive your motivation. From this day forward, make a commitment to eat healthy, exercise regularly, get plenty of rest and love your body, mind and soul.

If losing weight is one of your healthy lifestyle goals, there is no better way to shed those pounds than a fitness journal. It has been proven many times that people who keep a fitness journal have far greater success at losing weight than those people who do not.

Recording everything you eat, drink and all the exercise that you do will give you a clear view of your efforts and let you see what is working and what is not. Sometimes you may find that you are consuming more calories than you previously thought. Keeping track of your food intake will help you decide if your current food choices are right for you.

Journaling allows you to focus on specific goals and provides an easy way to chart a path to success. From exercise routines to weightlifting and circuit intervals, you can keep an accurate account of where you began and see your progress along the way. Remember, it’s not about perfection, it’s about progress.

Making the decision to live healthier from this day forward means no looking back at past mistakes. Begin your journal from Day 1 and keep looking forward toward your goal. You can use a notebook, purchase a designated journal or find one online. Just be sure to keep it with you throughout the day for best results.

I find journaling to be a great stress reliever. At the end of the day, after my last meal, I enjoy looking over the day’s events and adding my finishing touch. It is important to keep an accurate account of everything you eat and drink so be sure to log in after every meal.

There are many fitness journals available on the market today. Many journal templates are downloadable online, try to find one that has space for everything you want to record. You can even use a simple notebook and design your own with entries for food intake, exercise notes, as well as measurements and weight information. This will be useful as you chart your success to see where you started and how far you progress.
