    Stop wasting your time following someone else's plan for you. Make your own plan based on realistic changes--if you can't follow your chosen diet for the rest of your life, you're wasting precious time.

    Willpower is for short-term success. Long-term success requires planning, discipline and finding ways to motivate yourself every day.

    My New Year's resolution is to get on an exercise program and get into shape. But I've made similar promises to myself in the past and haven't been successful. Do you have any suggestions that might help me follow through?

    New Year's resolutions are easy to make but can be hard to keep, especially when the goal is to substitute new habits for old. To help with follow-through on exercise routines, I suggest starting with a personal trainer for guidance.

    One way to ensure that working out at home doesn’t become boring and stays fresh and exciting is to work out with a friend.

    If you want to make a resolution to improve your diet or workout more, then that's great. I think that you should start this resolution right now! Not Monday, not tomorrow and certainly don't wait till next month. If something is important then why put it off? However I realize that many people aren't going to take this good (great) advice. If you insist on using the well being of your body as a New Year's resolution then I advise you to write down the reasons for doing this (longer life, less pain, etc) and re read them from time to time. Remind yourself that you are doing this for a purpose! Not just because it sounds good when someone asks you what your New Year's resolution is.

    Here are Three Goal Making Tips to Get You Started in 2011
    Start the first month by making small weekly goals.
    Make realistic goals. Nothing is more demotivating then not being able to reach a goal.
    Tell you friends. Don't keep your fitness goals a secret! It's understandable that you want to surprise your friends and family with a new buff bod the next time that they see you but I will guarantee that they will be surprised no matter what! If you tell people what you are up to, then you have a bit of pressure to make it happen. If no one knows, it is easier to quit because nobody else knows you gave up but yourself.

    Everything that is done in moderation is not bad for the body, and it’s the same with exercise. Do not overstretch or overwork your body. Give it ample rest and follow a proper diet.

Pore shrinking mask recipes from home

A face with large open pores when seen from close quarters doesn’t look so good. While it’s quite common for oily skins to have a tendency towards open pores, an attack of pimples also leaves ugly scars and open pores behind.  Even though the scars may fade away after some time, open pores appear to be more obstinate and hardly show any signs of shrinking.  Age also takes its toll by giving an uneven/pigmented tone to the skin and making the open pores more prominent. Heredity could also be a contributing factor in determining your pore size. It’s not easy to get rid of these pores or shrink them completely or permanently using serums, lotions or face packs. Even resorting to drastic chemical/surgical procedures at the dermatologist’s isn’t quite capable of giving satisfactory results.  Nevertheless, you can try and minimize their appearance at least temporarily with clever makeup and a few natural skin care masks such as these: * Cleanse your face with a mild ...
