Make your New Year’s Resolution S.M.A.R.Ter!

94% of people who make a New Year’s Resolution to "Lose weight", "Eat healthier" or to "Get in shape" fail. Why? Because these are not S.M.A.R.T goals! Here is how you can make your New Year's goals S.M.A.R.T.er!

S- Specific: Instead of a goal to “lose weight” be specific! I suggest a body composition goal instead of a pounds lost goal, this way you are focusing on fat loss which is a better reflection of improving health.

For example: "I will reduce my body fat to 35%." 

M- Measurable: How will you measure this? How often will you measure it? How will you track it?

For example: "I will measure my body fat with my body composition scale every Sunday morning when I get out of bed.”

A: Attainable: Be realistic. Fads diets may work short-term, but guess what? 80% gain all the weight back plus some. Why? Because that fad diet was not sustainable.

For example: “I will lose 1% body fat each week for 10 weeks.”

R: Relevant:  Focus on the weekly tasks to get you closer to your goal each day. What does that look like for your life?

For example: “I will stick to my eating plan Monday through Friday”. Or “I will workout 4 out of 7 days a week.”

T: Time:  If you don't give yourself a time schedule to achieve your small goals that lead up to your big goal, time will fly by, and that goal will stay just as far away as it was a year ago. Schedule each of your healthy activities in your calendar. Your time reflects your priorities. 

We know this is a lot to consider and chances are, you attempted to stick to goals last year (and the year before and the year before, etc.) and were not successful.
