TURN YOUR RESOLUTIONS INTO REAL SOLUTIONS!!
Start with small changes ~ Instead of a diet overhaul, make small changes to what you eat and drink that will work for you now and in the future. Small changes make a big difference over time.
Take one day at a time ~ Sometimes things don't go as planned, even with the best of intentions. If you miss one day or one milestone for your goal, don't give up!
Be active your way ~ Pick activities that you enjoy! If you focus on having fun or learning a new skill that interests you, you will be more likely to stick with it.
Team up ~ Find a friend with similar goals - swap healthy recipes and be active together. Staying on track is easier with support and someone to cheer you on.
Celebrate successes ~ Think of each change as a "win" as you build positive habits and find ways to reach your goals. Reward yourself - you have earned it.
