How are your New Year’s Resolutions coming along so far? Have you already broken any of the promises you made when you greeted 2018? Don’t worry. You’re probably not alone. It’s a classic case of things being easier said than done, and some wildcard make each day unpredictable. You tried, you may have failed, but that doesn’t mean you can’t try again.
Here are some suggestions if you want to get back on track:
Get Rid of Excess Fat
One of the most common resolutions is to lose weight. But when you’ve already started eating your favorite food items as soon as the clock struck twelve and heralded the new year in, you’ve already lost. You may think the first few days of the year do not count, but those are the most crucial days for such a resolution.
Here’s what you can do: Find a CoolSculpting clinic like Clarity Skin in Salt Lake City to give you a boost in your weight goals, then use the rest of the year to keep the fat off.
Hide Your Credit Cards
A lot of people start the year wanting to save money. You may think not using cash is helping, but what about your credit cards? If you haven’t been changing your lifestyle at all and instead relying on credit cards to save your cash, you’re doing it wrong.
Here’s what you should do: Hide your credit card so you’ll only use it for emergencies. If it’s not something essential, you don’t need to buy it. Using cash to pay for your purchases lets you feel the damage of an expensive splurge on your budget more than if you pay your card.
Eat a Balanced Diet
Though getting to a healthy weight does not necessarily mean losing weight, you still need to change the food that you eat to get better results. Depending on whether you’re overweight or underweight, your dietitian will recommend a portion appropriate for your body type and daily activities. If you’ve been a fan of fast food the previous years, this switch won’t be easy.
Here’s what you should do: Plan your meals. Prepare them on the weekends, so you won’t feel like it’s a burden to prepare them every morning before you go to work. You can also prepare next day’s lunch every night to save time.
Don’t worry about falling off the wagon early on. You’ve got a full year to work on your resolutions, and second chances are there for a reason.
