Nutrition Goals

The New Year is right around the corner and so are resolutions. While these are made with good intent, research shows that 80% of resolutions drop off by the second week of February. How do we avoid this cycle? Here are 6 steps to guide you through setting AND achieving goals:

1- Develop an overall, realistic vision

2- Break it down into smaller, mini goals

3- Be specific

4- Make goals measurable

5- Set a reasonable time frame

6- Have an accountability partner

Example of a bad goal: Lose weight

This is very general, how much weight? When will you achieve this weight loss by? What small steps/goals will you accomplish to reach this goal? Who will be your support system throughout this process?

Example of a good goal: Lose 20lbs by August of 2022.

I will:

Go to OTF 4days/week.

Eat a fruit or vegetable at each of my meals 7 days/week.

Drink 60 oz of water every day

Get a minimum of 7 hours of sleep 6 days/week.

Have a friend meet me for workouts 2x a week.

Setting a realistic goal is essential to making progress. If it’s too daunting we are more likely say “forget it, I can never reach that.” Let’s not push healthy lifestyle changes off for another year. This is YOUR year to take control!
