For the most part, stats show that most New Year’s Resolutions become history by mid-February! In fact, approximately 50% of Canadians resolve to lose weight and only 15% stick to their resolution beyond February.
As we discussed last week, SMART goals that are written down will increase your odds of being successful. If you missed last week’s blog post, please go ahead and read that first before continuing on with this post.
Once you’ve set your SMART goals, whether they are related to weight or otherwise, here are some additional recommendations to help keep you on track.
1) Break it down - set smaller goals. If your goal is a 3 month goal as with my example in last week’s blog post, break it down to weekly goals. This will help keep you on track.
2) Visualize your success - With a weight release goal, if you have a picture of yourself from when you were at your goal weight. Put it on your fridge! To add to this, you can also buy yourself that outfit you fell in love with in the size you want to be and hang it on your closet door so you see it everyday.
3) Think Positive - Post your favourite inspirational photo or quote somewhere you will see it everyday. Subscribe to an inspirational newsletter.
4) Make it public - Tell people what your goals are and ask them to help you stay accountable. Tell your family, friends, colleagues at work etc. You have a facebook account? Post it on your wall!
5) Make it permanent - Start with small changes and progress to the lifestyle you ultimately want. For instance, start with increasing your water intake, then move onto reducing “bad” fat from your diet. Fat is still important to us, we must be sure to consume good sources of fat as opposed to bad fat.
6) Support, support support - Seek support! If you are not getting it from your family and friends, hire someone to work with you. You may need a trainer, a nutritionist or a dietician. All of which are available on our team. If you wish to contact us for details, call me at 647-405-4471.
Stay tuned to next week’s blog to learn how to successfully attain your weight release goals.
To your health,
