New Year's Resolution

Many people start off the year with at least one New Year's resolution.  On many people's list, there usually is a "get healthy" or "eat healthier" or "lose weight" or some activity goal.  Sound familiar?  What is your goal for this year?

A new year is a great time to turn over a new leaf and start a new activity or slightly alter your habits.  To help you stay motivated to reach your goal, make sure it is quantifiable.  Give yourself a specific amount of weight you want to lose, or a distance/time you want to reach if you have an activity goal.

If your goal is to eat healthier, make sure you have a way to measure or rate yourself on how you are doing.  Make small gradual changes instead of drastic changes so you do not feel like you are depriving yourself of foods.  It may help to make an appointment with a dietitian to get you started.
