Healthy Food Chart

We are well into January now and how are you all doing on your New Year's Resolutions? Has the magic of the brand new year disappeared replaced by life's usual stressors?

Have you given up or are you thinking of giving up? Before you do consider this. Instead of perfection on a goal, I have a saying I adopted many years ago, "Progress not perfection." If you make a goal so rigid it's almost impossible to achieve. For example with a food plan aim for 85% compliance. Instead of exercising EVERY day aim for five days. Remember you want the goal to be really attainable otherwise you will give up because you feel unsuccessful.

Also consider effective planning right along with goal setting. Take a look at your calender for each each week ahead of time considering your schedule and lifestyle. If you "Fail to plan, you plan to fail!" You must develop this mindset for your actual behaviors to change.
