Healthy Habits: It's Not Just for a Few Weeks, It's for Life

New Year, New You, they say! Did you know that only 8% of people will fulfill their new year’s resolution goals in a timely manner, with approximately 77% quitting within the first week of the year? It’s that time again to kick off the new year with new resolutions, better habits, and saying “yes” to new opportunities. Amy Goodson, registered dietitian and wellness expert shares how to kick off the new year on the right foot and hold yourself to it so you can be the best YOU in 2020 and beyond!

Some of Amy’s tips will include:
·         SAY YES MORE: Time flies by and before we know it, we are looking back saying “I wish I did that!”. This year, make a commitment to saying “yes” to more opportunities to travel, enjoying a stay-cation, or embarking on new adventures with family, friends, or on your own!
·         FILL UP WITH NUTRITIOUS FOODS: We don’t have to totally cut out all our favorite foods when choosing better habits in the new year. Instead, swap out your past options for a similar healthy one, like switching pasta out for zoodles!
·         HAVE A PLAN: One of the best ways to make New Year's Resolutions sustainable is to make a plan and stick to it. Decide what meals and snacks you will eat for the week and schedule exercise on your work calendar. Treat it like a work meeting!
·         BUDDY UP: To keep your eyes set on your goals, get a follow-through friend, someone who will follow-up with you to make sure you are following up with your goals! A simple plan can help you stick to your goals long term!
