Set a Specific Goal for your New Years Resolution.

 

Research show that of those who make a New Years Resolution only 8% make it.  That’s almost as bad as 95% of those who try to lose weight, fail often on average gaining back 107% more than when they started.  Setting vague NY goals sets your self up for failure.  Instead of these three common resolutions, get fit, drink less or lose weight set a specific achievable goal.  I will walk for 30 minutes 3-day a week.  I will drink less than a six-pack of beer (soda) a week.  I will replace 2 sodas with 2 waters everyday.  Goals that add things to you daily schedule can be easier than cutting activities from your life.  Some goals are made by add and subtracting things in your life.   I will sleep 1 more hours a day, by spending 1 hour less watching TV or time on the computer.  It’s not too late to revise your New Years goal and replace it with a specific obtainable goal.  The sooner you do so the sooner you will thank yourself.  If your resolution involves losing weight, then the proper way is to learn how to eat right, not diet.  For an entire 16-week program which focus on eating right to lose weight, visit www.Burn500.com  and make yourself accountable to your weight-loss resolutions.

What is a New Years Resolution?

 

“Losing weight” is one of the top New Years Resolutions every year.  But what is a resolution?  It’s a “solution,” meaning you are solving a problem, with the prefix “re” which usually means again.   For some people they are trying to re-solve their weight problem again and again and again.  To lose weight you need structured weight lose through-out your entire year if you are to succeed at your resolution.  And to think you can lose more than 1 pound per week is unrealistic.  There is a reason 95% of those who make a resolution to lose weight fail.  It’s hard, requires lots of knowledge and is something that requires a lifestyle change(s).  Our 16-week course teaches you to eat right and gives you the tools to lose the weight and help you maintain it the rest of your life.  For more information on creating a better you visit www.Burn500.com

With New Years being in the middle of the week and most having to go back to work before the weekend, may people are thinking about their New Years resolutions or will be setting them to start on Monday.  That said, many of you know that I have been putting together a healthy eating program that ties to the books I’ve authored while I lost over 100 pounds over the last 2 years. The program is called the Burn 500 Healthy Eating and Weight-loss Program and its 16-week course that teaches you to eat right with over 78 videos and 85 articles, daily tips, food tips, super foods briefs and recipes of the day.  This program is offered online & offline in the forms of 6-book set, 3-book/6-DVD set or in various eBook formats.  I would love for you to share or repost this to any friends who are experiencing weight issues.  The site is www.Burn500.com Thanks.

 

To get this entire work done, many of you know I banished myself to Wisconsin, which is like Siberia which will be -50 below on Monday.  Finishing this program was a resolution in 2012, which definitely made me change my lifestyle.  Not much happens here so I could throw myself 20 hours a day to the project and not miss anything until recently finished.  My 2014 resolution is to pull myself from recoding on my set, editing video on my pc, writing scripts and countless hours editing at the local coffee shop and spend more time reconnecting with friends, social media contacts and having more fun.  I started the year off in Minneapolis at a black tie masquerade party, having the time of my life.  While I have numerous business, personal, educational, professional and social goals, sometimes we just need to let lose and have fun.  No matter what you seek in life remember, there is nothing you can do about yesterday, tomorrow will never arrive so what you do now means living life the best you can.  For some the next bite you take can make a difference.

2 teaspoons freshly dried thyme

Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Bring stock to a simmer over medium heat adding bay leaf and thyme.  In medium high skillet add olive oil and sauté onions until they've softened.  Add the carrots to sauté until they are just barely tender.  Scrape all this into the pot of vegetable stock and add a bit more oil to the skillet.   Sauté the garlic and the celeriac next.  Don't let the garlic burn.
