I refuse to diet…after all if you look closely at the word, the first three letters are D I E.  In my opinion, diets are a set up for failure.  If your mind works like mine, once you try to restrict something from your life, that is all you will begin to think about.

I choose the word “lifestyle”.  I am not dieting, I am changing my lifestyle.  See the difference?  I am no longer restricting myself, I am choosing to do things differently.

We all know that to become healthier you need to eat smart and move more.  After one year of sitting on my ass due to injuries, I am revamping my lifestyle.  While not restricting items from my life, I will work towards enjoying certain foods and/or drinks in moderation.  More importantly, I am getting up and moving more.

So I declare 2016 to be my year of getting healthier and stronger…who’s with me?
