52 Small Changes: One Year to a Happier, Healthier You {review & giveaway}
I’ve been in a major slump. I mean major. In all aspects of my life, it’s been a hard year, and I am ready to close the books on 2011 for good.
With all the curveballs thrown my way this year, I lost site of me: my health, my fitness, my well-being. This is definitely not how I wanted to end this year! I wanted to go out with a bang, and finally be at my long-sought-after-but-totally-elusive goal weight.
And it’s not just me. So many people are ending this year in a slump, not where they envisioned they’d be 12 months ago. Kicking ourselves while we’re down will get us nowhere. In a few short days, we will have a brand new, shiny year. A fresh start, new beginning, clean slate.
Last week a book fell into my lap (okay not literally – it’s not raining books in Texas or anything!) and after I cracked it open and started reading the intro, it felt like I had been slapped upside the head with a sign.
52 Small Changes, One Year To A Happier, Healthier You by Brett Blumenthal
This book is my key. I just know it. I’ve read the intro, skimmed the chapters, and I’m gearing up to take control of my life in 2012 – one small change at a time.
I want this book to be your key, too! I want you to join me in becoming a happier and healthier you, one small step at a time over the next 52 weeks. We can do it! Do you think you’re up to the challenge? Are you a little leary of committing to 52 weeks of changes? I know how you feel, but listen up – the changes are small and Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, & Timely (as outlined by Mel in yesterday’s wonderful post).
Aside from the 9 page introduction, you only have to read ONE chapter a week! I’ll shine a little light as to what’s in store: Week 1: Drink Up (as in water!); Week 2: Get Your Zzzs; Week 3: Keep Off the Couch; Week 4: Keep a Food Journal. See? It’s not scary at all! It might even be things you’re already doing (or have done). And if so, each chapter offers extra credit – a way to take that small change to a higher level. Each week you’ll have a new change and you’ll continue with the prior weeks changes. So by the end of the year, you’ve made (and kept up with) 52 Small Changes, and you are happier and healthier!
