Do You Want Results From Your Health Resolutions?

I can hardly believe we are already a month into 2021. Did you struggle in 2020? Has the first part of this year been a struggle? I want to openly admit that I did not have an easy year myself. I had such plans for 2020. But, it was such a struggle to 'get by' at times – seemingly for the whole world. Our struggles are not always a bad thing. It just means we have the opportunity for growth.

I reenforced one of my big life lessons this past year: you MUST keep showing up even when you do not want to, or when you are struggling. Keep writing down your goals, planning out your financials, meal prepping, taking care of yourself, and believing! Write out your daily to-do lists that align with your goals and create action behind them. 

Was health or wellness on your list of 2021 resolutions? Well, here we are a month into the year, and I know that the initial excitement of resolutions fades. Being successful and making a change does require the proper organization of thoughts and facts and then a plan of execution.

I just wanted to cheer you on and give you six ways to stay on track with those health resolutions! 

1. Drink more water 
Track water every single day. To calculate how much water your body ideally needs, experts recommend that you take your body weight and split it in half - that number is how many ounces of water you should aim to consume daily.

2. Get some rest
   More and more studies find that relaxation is just as imperative to achieving your health goals as hitting the gym and eating right! This is just a gentle reminder to make time for you!
3. Love your gut
   Proper gut health will help your body digest and use the nutrients you are eating most efficiently.
4. Plan meals ahead
   Having a plan and being prepared with the groceries to follow it through is key to sticking to your food plan! With food planned out, you will be less likely to grab something mindlessly or swing through fast food when you get "hangry"! Having a plan will save you both calories and dollars!
5. Record your data
   At the beginning of each month, record your measurements, weight, and set monthly health goals! Since change does not happen overnight, it helps to record those benchmarks to see the changes happening over time! 
6. Track your workouts
   I highly recommend tracking your progress for your workouts. Sometimes when the scale is not moving, seeing progress in other areas, like the number of reps or weight you can lift, can motivate you to keep going!
