Ok, you have decided – this is it! This time you are making a real change and starting a completely new life.
You are determined to put previous year behind you and start fresh.
You decided to loose weight, fit in this fabulous silk dress, eat healthier, exercise more…STOP!

You are setting yourself up for the failure.

As you probably have experienced yourself, most people end up giving up on their New Year’s Resolutions. The result is that you feel incompetent and like you are not self-disciplined enough to follow through and you might conclude that the whole idea just doesn’t work.

But it is not your fault, so don’t feel guilty about not sticking to the last New Year’s Resolutions.

The main reason we do not succeed with our New Year’s plans is because the majority of exercise and diet programs are plain boring and so restrictive, you get hungry and tired just by looking at your ‘to do’ list. They are too unrealistic to stick for very long – no matter how much will power you have.

If your goals this year are the same as last year – it means that you have to change your goals, not yourself.

Keeping to your goals is much less about the actual discipline – you just need right goals and right techniques.

Don’t Change yourself – Reveal yourself.

After all, there is a spark of goddess inside you. The same one that made you try your mum’s shoes and lipstick when you were 6 years old. The same one that put those wicked thoughts in your head on girls’ night out.
It’s there, believe me. You just have to find it again. And once you got it? Than you are going to change your lifestyle to fit you – the real you – the one that is healthy, hot and happy.

So, without further ado here are my secrets to starting fresh and becoming Wellbeing Goddess…

But it didn’t show up. surprise, surprise.

I have checked tag lines, validate it (and CSS as well, I’m down to 2 mistakes) and everything seems to be fine. Superb.

Tiny detail – it doesn’t actually show up in my browser. I give up for today. I’ll check on different browser at work if it is there.

What do tou think about new logo? I tried to convey two different meanings with my colors – white and green – fresh and moder, healthy lifestyle. And chocolate because i am addicted and I am not ashamed to admit it. Here you have it – loud and clear: website about helathy stuff is also about guilty, chocolatey pleasures.

But than, what’s the point of being healthy and living a long life without chocolate in it?

So, please bare with me for the moment. and broken links, and other weird stuff.

I’m trying my best,, but it is still work in progress.

(I’m using it as a excuse to put diet on hold as well. I’ll tell you more about it, as soon as I figure out how to add post in my new fancy category-tag system.

To pair up with The 6 Weeks Bikini Body Workout there will be Diet Plan released soon. For now, is enough if you do not eat less than 1000 kCal- that’s right, no mistake here -no less than 1000 calories per day. Eat your fruit and veg obviously and remember that proteins build muscles and muscles burns fat. Even when you sleep.

That’s the whole secret.

(Yes, I know. If it was that simple we would all look like supermodels. But it is that simple if you follow few simple rules. I just make them easier to digest and present them to you nicely organised and with fancy title.  If you want to skip all my wonderfully witty and skilfully written articles this is the formula: Exercise to build muscle and eat proteins to build muscles and do not more than you burn. See? Simple. ) Now, let’s get down tu business.

I present you – my ultimate bikini workout for beginners. 

Purpose and benefits of exercises:

Walking – Great for total beginners. It is easy and ‘cheap’ exercise, you can do it almost everywhere, no special equipment required except for quality shoes and hand weights. It will gently improve your lung capacity and prepare your muscle for everyday tasks.

Rope jumping – Easier on your joints than running, burns calories faster than jogging and it is proven exercise to help you get rid of cellulite. Acceptable for beginners, just start with few minutes each day and alternate it with ‘rope walking’; slowly build up time to your comfortable level. 15 – 20 min is enough to increase your lung capacity and boost your metabolism at least 15% if performed every other day for 6 weeks.

Stretching – always stretch before exercising to prevent injuries and build lean muscles.

Cooling off period – As important as stretching is a cooling off period after exercising. Never sit down straight away after jumping or any other high energy exercise.

Week Seven – Aftermath

You should now get used to walking in the morning or evening for at least 15 min a day and stretching your body every day. Stretching your muscles will prevent injuries and help relieve stress accumulated in your muscles.

Also, you should have improved your overall fitness level and have no problem with jumping rope for 15 – 20 minutes (with short walking intervals to catch your breath).

Saturday and Sunday are reserved for family events so get your healthy walk in a park or visit a zoo. For a fun day out try roller caster rides – adrenaline booster are great for loosing weight. Just remember, make your mouth busy screaming, not eating cheeseburgers, and you should be fine.

Is it finished? Well, sort off. I strongly advise that you continue with a chosen week schedule or with a fixed schedule 20 min walk or 20 min rope jumping every other day. It is easy to fit short 20 minutes exercise burst for a great health benefits. It is a great routine for busy mums or anybody with a tight schedule and not enough hours in a day.

Small as it seems, 20 min of intense exercise, like rope jumping, combined with a healthy diet can actually prolong your lifespan up to 15 years, reduce heart risk by half and help you get rid of cellulite forever. Not to mention, it is a great help in maintaining your weight.

But enough for today. Talk about information overload. I will discuss each week separately as I will progress with my own diet, so come back here often and check your results against mine:) It will make you feel successful, I can tell you that. Enjoy. 

Below are some of the items currently listed on eBay:

You can probably find this post useful as well: Hot Stone Massage Set.

The immediate place for me to buy them is ebay – you would be amazed how cheap some of those massage stones are, also you can buy them in a handy kits with a heater.

Typical sets includes 36 Hand-Polished Basalt Stones. Usually that means you are going to get 8 large stones (to use on back and legs), 12 medium stones (for hands and arms) and 16 small stones (safe to use on forehead, neck and face).

Basalt is the best type of stone for hot stone massage. It gives superior heat retention comparing to other stones, as it is composed mainly of silica as well as traces of iron. It doesn’t have to be pitch black (although it look fabolous on a pictures) it comes in different shades depending on trace elements present in stone.

Crash diets are easy – they only last a couple of days. Lifestyle change is difficult because it is meant to be forever. Crash diet is like one night stand and lifestyle is like a catholic marriage. One night stand diet comes and goes. When the party is over, you are left with a bad breath and the nagging headache. There is nothing to brag about – unless you got extremely poor manners. Surely, from time to time quick romances happen, and they are something in between – they do not give you a stability of a marriage nor a shame of a quick shag in a toilet. But they are a mirage. An empty promise, good as long you don’t ask to deliver. So do not expect the romance to last forever and don’t be surprised when a latest fad diet leaves you with a handfulf of your own hair.
