New Year! New You! Top 5 Wellness Resolutions
2

• Every January 1st, millions of people decide
  that they want to feel and look better
  physically as well as emotionally. Unfortunately,
  theres often a disconnect between a desire for a
  healthy lifestyle and actual behavior. Studies
  show that within 6 months, more than half those
  people have given up.
• If you are thinking that this might be your year
  to make a Total Transformation, here are 5
  resolutions that can help increase your odds of
  success

1. See a Doctor

• Always consult a physician before changing your
  lifestyle. Small adjustments in your diet and
  easy-to-start exercises like walking dont
  necessarily require a trip to the doctors
  office. But if it's been awhile since you've
  exercised, or more than a year since your last
  checkup, you should talk to your doctor before
  starting a new exercise routine or diet plan.
  This is especially necessary as you get older,
  and if you have health issues or concerns.

2. Change your Diet Gradually

• Even after talking to your doctor, you should
  never leap into a new eating routine or radical
  diet immediately. Taking baby steps to ease your
  body into a new food regimen means youre more
  likely to stay on it, especially long term. Too
  often a radical shift in eating habits results in
  cravings, feelings of starvation, and when you
  give into them, a layer of guilt. Give your body
  a chance to adjust as you go and youll last much
  longer.

3. Find a Support System

• Its easier to stick with a weight loss plan
  when you have support. Having others share in the
  journey is a valuable way to get tips on diet and
  exercise and have an exercise buddy. Plus, you
  can keep each other accountable for what you
  agreed youd do. Youll also have someone to
  celebrate victories with and to encourage one
  another if you do get off track.

4. Expect a Plateau Have a Plan

• No matter what method you try, you are
  eventually going to hit a point where your weight
  loss stalls. This is normal and expected. Linear
  progress cannot continue indefinitely. The good
  news is, if you anticipate it, it is much easier
  on you psychologically, and easier to get past.
  One good suggestion is to keep the vision of you
  want to be present in your mind. Knowing where
  you are going will keep you on track and moving
  forward, working the plan so the plan keeps
  working.

5. Track Your Progress

• Change doesnt happen overnight. Just like in
  the case of the plateau, you need to know where
  you are going. To get there, keep an accurate
  account of everything you eat, every calorie you
  burn and every step you take closer to your goal,
  no matter how insignificant it may seem. Setting
  benchmarks gives you smaller goals to reach and
  by marking them off, you get a flush of
  endorphins that can help propel you onto the
  next, larger step.
