Every year, January comes, and so do my big fitness plans.
I tell myself: Exercise daily. Eat clean. Quit junk. Wake up early. And every year, by February, I’m exhausted, frustrated, and slowly slipping back into old habits.
This year, 2026, I’m doing things differently.
I’m keeping it simple. I’m choosing one fitness resolution - something I know I can actually follow, even on busy, lazy, or stressful days.
My Only Resolution for 2026: Lose 10 kg.
That’s it.
Not in a month. Not in three months. Just 10 kg in a whole year.
I picked this goal because it feels realistic. I don’t want fast results that vanish. I want slow, steady progress that sticks.
Why I’m Focusing on Only One Goal
Every time I try to change everything at once, I fail.
Too many rules make fitness stressful. One clear goal keeps it simple. One goal keeps me focused without guilt or pressure.
This time, it’s not about perfection. It’s about consistency.
How I Plan to Achieve It?
1. Daily Walking
I’m not forcing myself into long gym sessions every day. Instead, I’ll focus on walking:
-
Around 8–10 km a day, or
-
About 10,000 steps, depending on the day
Walking is easy, it helps with weight loss, and it doesn’t feel like punishment. I can do it in the morning, evening, or split it across the day.
2. A Small Strength Habit
To keep my body active and strong:
-
15 push-ups a day
It’s a tiny habit but doing it daily builds discipline without feeling overwhelming.
3. Eating Better, Not Perfect
I’m not planning to completely cut out junk food. Instead:
-
Eat home-cooked meals most days
-
Reduce outside food, not eliminate it
-
Eat slowly and stop when I feel full
I want eating to feel normal, not stressful.
4. Simple Lifestyle Changes
Fitness isn’t just exercise. I’ll also focus on small habits:
-
Use my phone less at night
-
Read or relax before sleeping
-
Sleep well so I don’t feel tired or hungry all day
Small changes like these make a bigger difference than we realize.
5. Getting Support
Doing it alone is hard. I’ll try to:
-
Join a walking group or a gym
-
Track my progress each month
-
Stay around people who care about health
Support makes consistency easier.
What I’m NOT Promising
I’m not promising:
-
Perfect days
-
No junk food ever
-
Daily motivation
Some days will be messy and that’s okay. I’ll just keep going the next day.
So here’s my promise to myself for 2026:
Lose 10 kg slowly. Stay active. Build habits that last.
No pressure. No extremes.
Just showing up most days and doing my best.
It feels doable. And that’s exactly why I know it will work.
