Keeping that New Year resolution in check – 5 top tips to stay on track
We all have the best intentions when the clock strikes midnight on New Years Eve but how can we stay true to our promises?  Once we get back to work our busy lives take over & it can be hard to stay on track with our New Year’s resolutions.  Statistically this week is the time when most people fall off the New Year’s dieting wagon.  So we thought we would lend a hand by giving you some timely reminders & pointers so as to help you avoid slipping into the typical traps!
1.  Set yourself realistic achievable goals & weekly weight loss targets, don’t give in to the first hurdle of temptations.  Treat each temptation to cheat or quit as test of personal morality.  Relish this opportunity of taking control over your eating habits – treat your resolution as a challenge and every time you reach a set goal, however big or small, make sure to give yourself a well deserved reward.

2.  Start your day off on the right foot by eating a healthy breakfas
of fruit & oats with yoghurt.  Or if its a cold brisk morning porridge is always a good call at this time of year.  Don’t forget to have plenty of water throughout the day & avoid snacking on sweets and bad carbs such as bread as much as possible.
3. Find new ways of spicing up your healthy food recipes for lunch & dinner.  This will help keep food interesting & therefore motivate you to stay away from bad habits such as climbing into the biscuit tin!  Remember to have bigger meals at the beginning of the day and more modest dinners to reduce fat cells from building up overnight when you are sleeping.
4.  Alcoholic drinks have many calories however it is the type of food that we are tempted to eat whilst drinking.  This is the main root cause of damage to our weight loss results.  Try to drink as little alcohol during the week as possible, eat light dinners in the evening and get to bed early to give yourself the best rest possible to feel fresh & revived in the morning.
5. Stay active, find interesting things to do during your spare time.  As its the New Year there are lots of things happening whether your interests lie within the arts, music, entertainment, travel, sport or other areas.  Try to find a creative avenue to put your talents & interests to good use.  By doing this you will increase your psychological well being & contentment which will in turn also help to reduce hunger in itself!
