The end of one year and the beginning of the next is for many, a time to look back and reflect on all that transpired over the past year.

Good, bad or indifferent, its a time when many people feel compelled to make changes for the upcoming year.

Enter the New Years Resolution. Whether you actually call it a resolution or simply make a promise to yourself, set specific goals or just plain decide to do things differently, change is the aim of the game.

Health, weight loss, finances, relationships, quitting smoking statistically January is the month when most people commit to getting started. January is also the same month most will throw in the towel.

A study done by the University of Scranton revealed that a mere eight percent of those who made resolutions in 2018 actually followed through with their plan and achieved their goals, while a whopping 80 per cent did not. As it turns out, the make or break window of time is extremely short.

Strava, a fitness social network, tracked data for over 31.5 million users and reported they were actually able to pinpoint the date people called it quits. Strava discovered that Jan. 12 a mere 12 days after making their resolutions is the day people gave up.

And with the other data showing 55 per cent of those failed resolutions were health related, its safe to say theres a lot of folks out there tackling the same resolutions again this year.

Change is never easy but it doesnt have to be impossible. With that in mind, here are five simple steps that will help keep you on track to achieving your health and weight loss goals in 2020.

Know your why. With weight loss, there is typically a short-term and a long-term why. Wanting to fit into a dress for a class reunion, or feeling confident in your bathing suit for that cruise at spring break are examples of short term.

A long-term why is something that usually comes from a place of emotion. Something deep down inside that really resonates with you in a big way to support your new healthier lifestyle and will tug at your heartstrings and bring you back on track when life happens to try and knock you off course.

Stay away from diets. The results you experience will likely be short-lived as statistics say that less than one per cent of people can maintain a diet for life. Opt instead for a program that focuses on health, nutrition and lifestyle to help you get results that stick.

Set weekly goals and be realistic in your expectations. Consider setting goals to implement healthier lifestyle choices and building on those each week rather than choosing a number of pounds. Putting the pieces in place to fill nutritional gaps and stabilized blood sugar will allow the body to naturally release fat and lose weight. That extra weight did not suddenly appear overnight so be patient and kind to yourself.

Celebrate all wins, especially the small ones. Small things done consistently over time will get you huge results.

Be all in at one per cent. Im sure youll agree that you can do something for your health one percent better tomorrow than you did today. And when you do this everyday, just think where youll be next year? Not making weight loss resolutions again that's for sure.

And remember, the scale is not the only way to measure success. Maybe you didnt lose any weight this week but youve noticed your clothes are fitting better. Perhaps youre sleeping better and now have so much more energy. Or the bloating and discomfort is finally gone and youre feeling better than you have in years. Or maybe those sugar cravings are finally gone. These non-scale victories are just as important because they show improvements to overall health.

So, regardless how far you went (or didnt) with your weight loss and health goals last year, 2020 is a New Year, and todays a new day. If youre not living with optimal health and feeling your best, then I invite you to follow the steps and set your sights on health this year. Set a 2020 vision and get clear on where you want to take your health this year. Know your why. Begin today making small changes, and better choices consistently. Be all in, one per cent at a time. And imagine where youll be this time next year.

A happy, healthy and blessed New Year to all.
