I've never been one to like the idea of making a New Year's resolution. I always thought that resolutions were made because they eventually would be broken. Making a significant change in one's life is not a terribly easy process, so my approach was less about making a flashy, trendy, go-with-the-crowd New Year's resolution and more with just gradually trying to make changes in my life.
This past summer has changed that thinking for me...somewhat.
Since July, I've lost 26 lbs, I'm stronger, healthier, and all-around much happier and balanced. As you may have seen in other posts, it all comes down to me making time to exercise regularly, using a well-structured program (both Insanity and P90X), and incorporating Shakeology. I've always been a pretty happy person, and even critically aware of how our dominant culture slowly strips us of deeper forms of happiness, but I've always felt rather trapped by that culture, especially when it came to my physical health and wellness. See my last post ("Is P90X or RevAbs for Everyone?") for more on critical awareness. That being said, I finally figured out that having a well-structured and appropriately challenging fitness program was how I would finally make a significant positive change on my physical health and start to move away from the self-destruction that is our consumer culture.
So, I am a believer that making significant changes long term is possible...thus, the New Year's resolution. So, mine is to resolve to make significant growth in my health, strength, and spirit. Here's what I'm going to do:
1. I going to do P90X2! In fact, I'm starting my New Year's resolution a little early because I'm starting this TOMORROW!!! I figured that Insanity and P90X were such amazing programs for me, in effect, creating the new path for me, I would take it to the next level and really push myself into the upper levels of the stratosphere.
2. I'm going to eat healthier. I'm going to use my meal plan on teambeachbody.com, the recipes from P90X2, and other workout programs far more often and eat healthier more regularly. Shakeology has been the most significant impact in getting me there so far, and I want to build off of that.
3. I will meditate more regularly...as close to every day as is possible. I have been doing a meditation on my chakras that I just love! I will post that soon.
If I go beyond three, I'll probably overwhelm myself, but this where I want to go.
And just because I am so ecstatic about going onto P90X2 tomorrow, I thought I would share this with you!
