Make SMART goals
When making your goals, they should be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time sensitive. Many people run into the problem of forming these vague, idealistic, over reaching resolutions that bog them down more than it empowers them.
Your resolution is not something that will absolutely kill you to meet. Even if you do make it, that sounds incredibly draining. Form goals that are a challenge, but one that excites you to reach!
Use your support system
Since surrounded yourself with support over the holidays, this one will be easy! Use that support system to get you on track. Join a gym with a buddy. Add your friends to MyFitnessPal to keep each other accountable. This is the time to form and cherish friends and family who really want to see you succeed!
Don't give up!
This one is important. So far, you've made some great and realistic goals and given yourself the support system you deserve. Now, you need to focus on why you'e doing this for yourself, because resolutions start to get tough around the end of the month. Gyms start emptying out, clients fade away from their nutritionists, and old habits start creeping back in.
Remember, you're not disappointing anyone but yourself if you quit! Make this resolution a real goal for yourself this year, and don't give up!
