Happy New Year! Resolutions Do Work!

I like the first day of January and this is why. There is usually something in the past year that I didn't do very well. Instead of feeling guilty about it, I get a second chance; so therefore, I do think New Year's Resolutions do work.

This is the key though. To say you're going to lose 15 pounds is the first step. It doesn't stop there. You need a plan and you need to stay committed to the plan. I'm excited to announce to you that Sportsclub has enhanced the Meltdown Program. Here is what we have for you to see success in your weight loss and fitness goals:

1) New Food Diaries - Smaller, easier to manage, encourages you to plan for the next day, calendar to keep track of your progress, calorie guidelines to help you know how much you should eat to lose weight.

2) 20 X-Plan Challenge - On each page of the food diary, you will be challenged to pre-plan your eating as well as your workout schedule for the next day. When the next day arrives, you will receive an X to put in the box, or on your calendar if you did what you said you were going to do the day before. When you have received 20 x's out of 30 days, you will receive a Black X-Plan Survivor T-shirt.

3) If you cannot attend the times allotted at the 3 clubs, let us know the times you are available or find 2 other people to join you to form a meltdown group.

4) We are excited to introduce the Meltdown X-Plan Group Challenge which will be offered at each club. You have the option to purchase 8 sessions for $160. You simply decide which classes you want to attend and you have 2 months to attend the classes. You will still receive a food diary, weigh in and be eligible for the X-Plan Survivor Shirt.

Two years ago I made a New Year's Resolution to lose 20 lbs. I made a plan, I was committed to the plan, I worked hard and I did it. Last year, my New Year's Resolution was to lose between 3 and 5 more pounds and increase my protein. I did lose 3 more pounds plus I all of a sudden noticed I had a 6 pack and some definition in my arms! Hmm! What's my goal this year? Be consistent, committed and careful! What do you think? I'm going for it - how about you? Lynette
