Resolution Step #1 - Make a plan!

The first step in a successfully changing your lifestyle (i.e.: work out more, eat better, become less stressed, etc.) is to develop a plan. Your plan should be something you know you can complete - choose a change you can "stick to." If you want to create a steady workout regimen, 7 days a week may be too big of a goal. If you want to change your eating pattern, start with a few basic changes (eating at regular intervals or adding more whole grains and lowering simple sugars. To reduce stress, think about ways of organizing your day to reduce inefficiency so you are in less of a rush. You may have to alter your plan down the road. Start with the month of January and re-assess as you get closer to February. Use this weekend to create your plan...be creative and set some attainable goals!
