4 Reasons Your Goals Slip Over Christmas

1. You slip up and give up. It's all too easy to have a bad day, or two bad days in a row of bad eating and drinking and then feel like, "oh well, I've blown it now" and give up. We all have bad days, or lazy days, or unhealthy days, it's what you choose to do next that counts. Just wake up the next day, reset and start again. Be stronger than your oldself!

2. You are spending time with the wrong people. Are your co-workers, friends or family members constantly putting pressure on you to eat, or do something else when that was your exercise time? You need to be around people who have the same goals as you. Or, simply tell your friends that you have goal "xyz" right now and be honest about what you are doing, it's likely most of them will be saying "oh that's so great, I need to do that too!"
Find like minded people. Don't be afraid to say no, or to be honest.

3.  You don't have a plan. Have you talked to an energetic/fit person lately? You'll find that they have specific days and times they workout, they stick to this, or they plan around it. Don't 'wing' your exercise. Sit down and write a weekly routine, then stick to it. Fit people make it happen.

4. You haven't considered your priorities. If your number one goal is to get healthy, then this is your priority, this will take thought and time and planning, you'll have to say no to things, you'll have to change your routine. Have you prioritised your health goals?
