I will start this blog post by saying that I am not big on New Years resolutions. Maybe I am pessimistic but I always think that they set me and many of you up for failure.
Case in point, many of the patients in my Chiropractic office in San Diego have already faltered with their new diets and exercise programs for this New Year. Sometimes they fail with their resolutions simply because the changes involved in their new resolutions are too much of a drastic change from their prior lifestyle. Others expect too much of themselves on a physical level and end up in my office complaining of neck pain, back pain, sprains, strains and other exercise related pains. Many people at this point make a comment about how “getting in shape is killing them”.
I always enter the New Year with the thought that I will do just a little better than I did the last year. This is especially true with diet and exercise. Although I am a health care professional, I do succumb to the temptations of the bean rice and cheese burrito or the piece of pizza with extra cheese. Likewise, I find myself getting run down from time to time and I loose my desire to exercise.
Failing in my diet and exercise are two downfalls that have an immediate impact on my well being. When exercise goes by the wayside I have less energy, I tier easily and I sleep poorly. When I blow my diet I feel fat, bloated and most of all guilty. These responses to failures in my diet and exercise make me wonder why I fail.
The benefits of maintaining a healthy diet and following a challenging exercise regimen are easily identified. Following a reasonable diet and getting enough exercise make me feel good!
That is my health goal for the New Year – to be just a little better than I was last year with diet and exercise.
