Resolutions....Advice Sought

[Guest guest]

Hi, everyone. Happy New Year! I saw the post this morning about New

Year's resolutions. I have many goals for the new year, but I just

haven't written them down yet.

We have been enjoying special foods around this time, and they are

still not gone, despite frequent sharing with others. I'm afraid I'll

start craving them again after they are gone. I will start my

exercise program again on January 1. I'm afraid, because I've done

this so many times. I don't want to fail again. How do all of you

handle this?

How much exercise is enough? Since I'm a chair user, I feel like I

have to do at least an hour a day in the mornings, which is not

enough to see results. I am so desperate to lose that I was wondering

if I should do all of my routine at once, including videos, which

would take 2-3 hours. I'm not sure I can live up to this every day.

Another thing: Does anyone on this list work from home? If so, how do

you cut it off at 5:00 p.m. when your office is only a few feet away?

I eat sometimes when I'm anxious about freelance assignments, or

trying to get new work. I'm also not performing well for one client.

Sometimes I'm so anxious that I skip exercises and dive in, even

though I feel under-confident professionally much of the time. And

then I feel guilty for skipping exercises, and on and on. How do you

get on a good sleep schedule, as well?

I can't stand another year of bad habits with no discernible change.

I welcome your ideas. I am sorry to post in a down mood, but I feel

very discouraged.

Thanks,
