New Years Resolutions

Typically, the new year is a time to set new goals for the year, and get a fresh outlook on what we want to accomplish for the year. Statistics show that the first few weeks we stick to our goals, then slowly go back to our ways. In order to avoid slipping back into old habits, set long term goals, and then "milestone" goals for yourself. So, for example, if the goal is to lose 10 pounds for the year, a "milestone" goal would be to lose 5 pounds by March 1st. Once that milestone goal is met, reward yourself. Also, set quantitative goals for yourself. Quantitative goals are measurable goals so they're easier to keep manage. For example, I will lose 10 pounds or I will earn X more dollars this year. A few other tips are to set precise dates and targets around the goal. Example - I will lose 10 pounds by June 13th by going to the gym 4 times a week and following my nutrition plan. Another tip is to write your goals down and post them so you see them everyday as a reminder to stay on target.
