Timology - Taking 2014 to the Bank

We all know the New Year can be a special time. For most of us, it's a time of renewal or regeneration. Hopefully, as we throw away that imaginary line of 2013, we can look forward to 2014 for a healthy and prosperous New Year. I like to think of being healthy as being prosperous. Please don't think I'm being philosophical. Financial prosperity is great, but if you don't look or feel good, you have not yet reached the finish line.   

The New Year is a great time to invest in your health in the same way you manage your finances. Start by developing healthy goals - whether it's to lose weight or just to eat healthy. Then devise a plan to help get you on the right track to great health. If you can't figure it out, seek help. As with any goal, it is your plan that is the lifeline to success. I know I'm describing your health like a business, and that's because it is! The more time you invest eating quality foods, lean protein, healthy fats and natural carbohydrates, the greater the health benefits you receive. The same holds true with your investment in working out. The more you lift weights or run, the better you will become at lifting and running. Much like a savings account, your health is accumulative, and every day we can experience a small percentage of growth that will produce huge benefits in the long run.

In 2014, make your health your biggest investment. You've heard of "think big" and "grow rich"? Well, the same holds true regarding your health. Feeling and looking good is not always governed by genetics. Adopting a healthy nutrition plan and carving out quality time for your workouts can insure better health in the year to come. You cannot change what happened in 2013, but in 2014, the sky is the limit!

Eat Well, Train Hard.
