When it comes to goal setting, Chad advises to “set detailed goals.” If your goal is to lose 10 pounds, associate a reason and purpose with losing the weight. Maybe you want to lose weight so you feel better overall or maybe you want to fit into a different size clothing or maybe you think losing the weight will help you run a mile without stopping. “All goals need to have purpose for you,” he said. Setting a timeline for a goal can also be helpful to keep you on track.

Changing eating habits can be one of the hardest behavior changes to make. Again, little steps can add up. Chad suggests, “Don’t go from 0 to 100. Instead, take a week and change just one or two things about your nutritional habits, then the next week, add one or two more changes and continue on that path. As you gradually do things your mind and body will adapt easier and you're more likely to stick with the adjustments you've made. With these simple changes you'll also start to see improvements in how you feel. You feel better, you become more motivated.”

Every person is different and there is no one size fits all diet or exercise program for everyone. You have to find a plan that works for you. He said, “we’re all creatures of habit and convenience, so create a schedule based off your natural tendencies and what's easiest for you to get to. Pick a time of day that you know you're more inclined to be active. Don't try and force yourself into being an early morning workout person if you typically like to do things after work. Also find a place that you don't have to struggle to get to because there's already plenty of other 'obstacles' getting in your way throughout the day. Literally put it on your calendar and commit that time to yourself at a place that works for you.” Once you start getting into the habit of exercising at a certain time and place, the routine should hopefully become easier and part of your weekly routine.
Even if you feel that you have already fallen off the resolution wagon, it is never too late to start. You do not have to wait until next January or even next Monday. To view The Broomfielder™ online visit: www.loudmouthmedia.com
