" We&amp;amp;#8217;re a few weeks into 2011, and all of the lifestyle changes that we kicked off at the beginning of the month with Body by Glamour are about to become full-blown healthy habits, assuming you&amp;amp;#8217;ve actually stuck with them. Choices start to become habits after three weeks of consistent behavior. But just because a behavior becomes a habit, it doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t mean that you can kick back and glide through the rest of the year. Here are ways to break through 4 of the top healthy-habit busters:It takes too much time. Between meal planning and time spent in the gym, implementing new healthy habits takes preparation. Let&amp;amp;#8217;s get real for a second: How much are you really going to miss if you turn off the TV an hour earlier each night? If you&amp;#x27;re doing Body by Glamour (you are, aren&amp;#x27;t you?!) try implementing time savers, like the Grocery List feature. It costs too much money. There can be some initial costs up front when starting a new fitness and nutrition plan, but the potential cost of not taking care of your body could be so much worse. Think of your body like your vehicle; regular maintenance costs less than paying for a major repair. I don&amp;amp;#8217;t have enough family support. Grab the reigns and take control of your family&amp;amp;#8217;s health. Put a new, healthy spin on a classic favorite meal, or challenge your family to a fitness competition (my personal favorite is Wii tennis). By getting your family involved in subtle ways, you can avoid backlash and encourage a healthy family culture. I&amp;amp;#8217;m not seeing results. So what if you still have 30 lbs to lose! Do you feel a little bit better when you wake up in the morning? Did you try one new food that you&amp;amp;#8217;ve never tasted before--and liked it? Is your co-worker asking you for workout tips? Then you have made some progress! Measure results monthly, not daily, and make sure to celebrate the small wins on your journey. If you start to struggle with these healthy-habit roadblocks, just remember that the only thing that can stand in your way this year is you. Stop making excuses, put on your mental boxing gloves (or physical ones, if you&amp;#x27;d like), and knock out those excuses. Tell me about your healthy-habit busters below!
