This week's workout challenge

.Ready for new week? I am! How about sculpting our arms this week? I've never liked my arms, but that is about to change. I've put together a challenge that is going to last for as long as you would like. You start with 10 push-ups the first day and then add a push-up every day. Let's see how far we can go!

So let's kick off this week's workout challenge, and say after me - it's going to be a great week!

Time to be honest!

.Often when it comes to eating and losing weight we are not being honest with ourselves. If we are eating right and moving, we will see results. So if you are not seeing results (feeling good, losing weight etc), you are either eating the wrong food, eating too much or not moving enough. It’s that simple.

Sometimes we also don’t know what we are doing wrong. By documenting everything you eat and your exercises, you will be able to analyze the information and figure out what you are doing right and what you are doing wrong.

Time to be honest! Here are two great templates that will help you get on track.

2014 Resolutions

Do you believe in New Year's Resolutions? Most of us don't stick to them very long, so I’m not sure if they are that effective. But I do believe in setting goals and in order to reach a goal you need to do some planning. Start with setting some realistic small goals. If they are too big and too difficult to reach you can become discourage. I recommend looking out for the next 6 months and setting up small goals leading up to your ultimate goal six months from now. Goals are not just about weight. If you’re goal is to get healthier and lose weight here are some ideas:

This week's goal

•Eat healthy every day (not boring food, just healthy. Try new recipes. We have lots of them here.

• Take a walk every day
