How to make your resolution last


Do you make a new years resolution every year?  Is it the same every year?

Fitness, weight loss, better health are at the top two or three for most people every year.

Why is that?

You know that your life is more fulfilling when you feel good about yourself, have more energy, are looking great which equals feeling great.

Every year most people fall away from their resolution by February or March, and that’s a long time for most people.

How do I make this a life change rather than a flash in the pan, one day declaration?

Here is how to keep your fitness resolution…

1) Set attainable goals.

Write them down and put an attainable timeframe on your goals.  I.e., 5 pounds down in January, 5 pounds in March, Half marathon in April etc. Big pipe dream goals are a set up for failure so be reasonable and be sure you can get it done.

2) Keep yourself accountable.

Most resolutions fail because they are a “one time” declaration on New Years Eve on a whim. If you are serious, pick someone in your life that will help you stay accountable to your goal daily, monthly, and yearly.

Share the details and be sure they are ready to help you achieve.  (You can always send it to me; I will keep you on track)

3) Commit your goal to yourself and your family.

Share your goals for the year with your family and friends.  The more you talk about it, the more you will feel a sense of commitment to your goals and the more people will ask you about how you are doing.

4) Stay strong

Lets not sugar coat this. Changes to lifestyle are tough.

It takes determination, focus and support from friends and family.  Focus on the people that support and encourage you.

Keep in mind there will be the negative people trying to keep you down, but dont let them.  You can defeat them with your success.

I believe in you.

Send me your goals - Lets do this together and make it last.
