5 Ways to gain momentum on those RESOLUTIONS!

Struggling to stay on top of those New Year’s Resolutions? Or needing to get started?  I know, it’s hard! Once the “newness” & hype wears off….you need proven strategies to continue reaching after those goals!

Here are THE top ways to keep gaining on those resolutions or regain that motivation!

  1. Have a true, authentic “why!”

Wanting to lose weight or tone up? Remember YOUR why! Wanting to lose weight to reduce your risk of

diabetes or even come off your diabetes medicine if possible (under MD’s guidance)? Wanting to reduce your

risk of heart attack? Or even trying to conceive a baby? There are so many WHYS to wanting to lose

weight….but always reflecting on the deep, true reasons is essential. Don’t forget WHY you started. It’s so

much deeper than a number on that scale or the size of your pants!!

     2. Share your goals.  

Sharing your goals with a supportive person is essential. Having a

          goal is an awesome start but sharing it speaks life into it & gives it so much more power!

          Choose a friend, spouse, co-worker, etc that will cheer you on during your journey! Someone that is

positive, honest, & encouraging!!

      3. Accountability.

 It is essential to have someone such as a coach or trainer that holds you accountable to reaching your            

           goals. This person will be there on the days you just want to quit to help you remember

        WHY you started. They’ll also be there to cheer you on during your successes!

       4. Small, baby steps

Start with small, attainable goals. For example, instead of starting

            out with a long term goal of losing 100 pounds...start with a smaller, short term goal of losing

            25 pounds. Not to take say that long term goals aren’t important but you want to have small  wins all

along the way to boost your confidence! Also, write those goals down!! Check out my free planner here!

       5. Progress not perfection

It is so important to remember not everyday is going to be “perfect”  & that is okay. What is essential is that

when you have a bad day..don’t quit….just get right back to it the next day! I love incorporating a weekly

“refeed” (or cheat) meal once a week with my shred clients to help with those cravings!
