Get Your New Year Started Right!
Keep Fit and Well in 2012

Well, it’s that time of year! It is time for a fresh start and new goals. Of course, the most popular New Year’s Resolution of all time is “to lose weight.” For many people, that resolution is then followed by a long list of other declarations – all of which are forgotten by the first of February. This year, I encourage you to really go for it and take the weight off once and for all! How? First of all, don’t make a long list of resolutions. Instead, choose only one goal. Make it very specific and set a deadline for its achievement. Don’t settle for vague goals like “losing weight.” This year, the goal is to lose 15 pounds by March, for example. If weight loss is your goal, follow this plan of action to bring your goal into existence:

  1. State your goal weight. By identifying your goal weight, you take some of the focus off of how much you have to lose and place the focus on the healthy weight you’d like to maintain.

  1. State your goal date. Based upon how much weight you would like to lose, identify a reasonable date by which you want to reach your goal weight. For example, if your goal is to lose an average of two pounds per week and you want to lose a total of 40 pounds, then give yourself until May 31. That’s more than enough time to reach your goal at that pace.

  1. Identify your weaknesses. What habits are causing you to be overweight? Is it fried food every other day? Fast food for lunch? Lack of exercise? Late-night snacks? Write down every weakness that’s causing you problems.

  1. Address your weaknesses. Whatever is causing you to be unhealthy and overweight, find an alternative or create a new lifestyle change that will help you overcome your weaknesses. For example, if you get hungry around the same time every afternoon, perhaps you should consider eating smaller meals more often throughout the day. If you plan for it, you can create healthier options.

  1. Take it one day at a time. Achieving your goal weight consistently requires a lifestyle change. You may not be perfect at it, but take it one day at a time. If you miss your workout or eat poorly on a particular day, don’t give up! Just do better the next day. And give yourself credit for a job well done. Rewards as you reach milestones will go a long way to inspire you to keep moving towards the goal!
