Your New Year’s resolution is to get in shape and lose weight. You are a BEGINNER. How do you get started? Changes in human nature come slowly! Do not expect much from yourself initially. Habits develop gradually over time. Brian Grasso, a trainer and life coach in Montreal, has some important instructions.
EAT ONE HEALTHY MEAL PER DAY.
Modest changes aren’t as overwhelming. Use common sense eating lean meats, fish, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Eat whatever you want the rest of the day. After two weeks, add a second healthy meal each day. Gradually make eating healthy the main focus of your diet.

TRAIN TWO DAYS PER WEEK.
To develop the habit, try going at the same time each week. It is a process of making appointments with yourself and keeping them. Even if you don’t feel like working out, go, and at least change your clothes. Eventually it will become a priority and a part of your routine. After a month, increase the number of times you exercise every week.
