It's no secret that writing down your goals and visualizing them is a sure way to stay on track, and the same can be said for sticking with your health and fitness goals. Instead of writing down your goals on a piece of paper, why not create a blog for you to journal your successes and challenges? Sites like Blogger and WordPress offer free space for users to create and personalize their own blog. If you voice your goals and progress publicly to others, you'll be surprised by the amount of positive feedback and encouragement you will receive.

Social media is another way to stay on track with your fitness and health goals. Take a photo of your workout space on Instagram, tweet your progress to your workout buddies or post your favourite workout on Facebook to share with friends. Social networking automatically gives its users a sense of belonging, so sharing your challenges and progress on the various sites you belong to is a great way to keep yourself on track.

A fantastic way to motivate yourself as you set out to achieve your goals is through visiting your favourite health- and fitness-related sites. The workouts, photos and discussions with others will help you to keep the right mindset and know that you are not alone as you set out to face these challenges.

At the end of the day, sharing your challenges and successes with others will increase the likelihood that you will not only continue with your workout and diet plans, but encourage others to join you in pursuing a healthy lifestyle. Become a body blogger and share it with your friends and family — it's just one more way you can make staying fit and healthy more fun!
