When you don’t know where to start, just start!

The other evening we entered the YMCA and noticed that the place was hoppin’! We are regulars here - couple times a week in the evenings as a family and Jordan and I come practically every morning - so the packed facility, we noted, was rather atypical.
The first thing one of the ladies at the desk said with a smile as we walked in (she must have noted the look of surprise on our faces) was: “New Year’s Resolutions!” I chuckled and continued in.

Now that my Army Physical Fitness Test is complete I’ve decided I’ll run only when I want to, but I KNOW one does NOT have to run to experience positive results.

📸 See these photos of me? I spent 3 1/2 months working to look like that and majority of the time was on my own. 30 minutes a week once or twice a week I met with a trainer. Not ONCE did I run. I’m not exaggerating either. I did not run one minute to get those results, but the effort I put in gave me incredible endurance and allowed me to run faster than I had in years.
I’m dripping sweat on the treadmill and looking rough now as I dictate this, by the way!

When you don’t know where to start, just start!
Yesterday, I put the treadmill on 3.5 speed and the incline at 9 and went for 30 minutes. I’m doing the same today.

It’s so easy to do nothing because you’re trying to figure out the best plan. I do it with a lot of things. Sometimes I allow myself to get stuck to the point of inaction because I want to find out the best way to do something.
Months and even years go by because I don’t just start. Well, that me take that back. I start, but sometimes I get hung up along the way. I get what’s been called paralysis by analysis.

When it comes to the new year and your wellness and fitness goals, I propose that we don’t make resolutions. Avoid paralysis by analysis.
Instead, seek out REALsolutions. Solutions that are simple and easy to begin are ideal. REALsolutions don’t have to be costly or time consuming. They just have to be realistic, simple, and challenging- oh! And make it fun!
Ok, so your fitness and wellness goals may not feel fun as you begin, but selecting activities or meal plans that interest you will help.

The photo I’ve shared serves as motivation for me. It reminds me that in as little as 30 minutes to an hour a day it is possible to be metamorphic! To feel and see change! Remember, that change won’t happen over night. However, if you make a commitment to yourself and keep your daily appointments with yourself, you can’t help but notice changes in your thinking and physical appearance.
When you don’t know where to start, just start!

Here’s to you, your New Year’s REALsolutions, and your 20/20 vision!
