Day 22 of New Year New You



Whoa who. It's Sunday! I don't know about you but I'm looking forward to the championship football games today.

So let's get started with Day 22:

Fitness:
Pick up the pace. Going for a run on the treadmill? Working out on the elliptical machine? Pick up your pace by going faster if on the treadmill or increasing your level in the elliptical. If your walking on the treadmill give yourself an increased incline by 2%.

This small adjustment will increase blood flow, work the cardio vascular system more as well as increase calorie burn.  Stay at the quicker pace or higher level for as long as possible.

Food:
Let your hair down! It's the NFC and AFC championship games. I see hot wings, chips and dip, beer and more in your future.

Even if the above is not on your list for today, go ahead and enjoy Something. We have to give our bodies stuff that's "not on the list". Today is a good day to enjoy food and drink. Monday - Tomorrow, we can start over. Believe it or not, going off the routine adding more fats and carbs will do the body good.  Besides who wans to watch the game eating only Celery sticks! 

Self Growth:
Perform a kind act. Do something nice for a stranger. It doesn't have to be anything elaborate.
  • Say "hello, how are you doing" to someone you see every day
  • Give to a homeless person
  • Hold the door open for someone
  • Help a mom up the stairs in the subway with a stroller
You get the picture. Now go on spread some love and kindness, it will make you and that person feel good.

Until tomorrow,

Taj
