During the holidays it can be challenging to exercise daily and keep your diet in check. Since the holiday time includes parties and get togethers it is very easy to gain weight. Some research suggests that we can gain up to 5 lbs. or more between the period of Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. What can you do to stay on track with your wellness and health? Develop SMART goals around the holidays and for the New Year. Developing goals around the holidays for the New Years is a great way to keep on track and stay motivated.
S- Specific. A specific goal has a much greater chance of being accomplished. Ask yourself...Who, what , where, when, why. An example: "I will get in shape." A more specific way to pharse this goal is "I will join a health club and workout 4 days a week for at least 45 minutes ."
M- Measureable. In order to know if you have reached a goal it must be measureable. When you measure your progress you stay on track. Ask yourself "How will I know when I have accomplished my goal?"
A- Attainable. When you identify wellnes goals you begin to figure out ways you can make them come true. You can attain most any goal you set weh you plan wisely and establish a time frame that allows you to carry our your plan.
R- Realistic. To be realistic your goals must represent something you are willing and able to do. Your goal is probably realistic if you truly believe you can accomplish it.
T- Timely. Your wellness and fitness goals should be grounded within a time frame. For the holidays think about where you want to be in the New Year (3 months from now, 6 months from now).
