10 Top ways to Kickstart Your Diet for New Years Success!

Goal Setting -- Goal setting is critical to achieving success. After all how can you achieve something if you do know what it is? Effective goal setting is the essential first step to success. Start by setting your long term 'big' goal and a series of small more achievable goals that build up to the 'big' goal. A critical point to making your goals come to life is writing them down, this makes them more real and will increase the likelihood that you will follow through. Also be very specific with your goals. Saying something like 'I want to lose weight' is not enough, make it a specific and realistically achievable goal, for example; The big goal -- "I want to lose 10 pounds in 2 months" the short term goals -- "I need to lose 1.25 pounds per week for the next 8 weeks" "I will achieve this by doing 20 min's of cardio 3 times per week, and strength training for 35 min's 3 times per week, and reduce my cheat foods to 2 days per week" . . .
