Get specific about your weight-loss goal It’s one thing to say, “I want to lose weight.” It’s a whole other thing to say, “I’m going to lose weight by jogging Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and by only eating fast food once a month.” Meet your goals in increments. Instead of vowing to lose 15 pounds by July, vow to lose 2 or 3 pounds each month. 2. Get your finances in order Shred that credit card! Ease up on the compulsive purchases. Get a cookbook and visit a grocery store. Check your credit score and correct any misinformation. ...and definitely start saving. Set up an automatic monthly transfer from your paycheck into your savings account. l l l l 3. Turn your smartphone off more often Engage with the people around you and pledge to give the messages and emails a rest. Give yourself a time frame; “For the next hour I will not pick up my phone for any reason, other than if Grandma calls.” It won’t kill the person on the other end - promise! 4. Support local mom-and-pop shops Consumers hold power. Small businesses rely on them! Get to know the small business owners in your neighborhood and support their shops. It’s a great way to get involved in your community. 5. Be more honest Be honest with yourself. Be more honest with others. 6. Watch less TV It’s simple: read more. Reading will expand your vocabulary, and give you something else to talk about at dinner parties other than the dog or the weather. l l l l Got input? Cool. Scan here 7. Get a hobby It doesn’t have to be an expensive one. Do comic books tickle your fancy? What about board games? Or how about bird watching? Visit a local hobby shop or search for hobby groups in your area. 8. Get more fresh air It’s important to get outside more often. According to Prevention, kids who get more “vitamin G,” a shorthand way of saying more time in green spaces, have less stress, perform better in school and have fewer ADHD symptoms. 9. Get more sleep Plenty of rest is known to boost memory, spur creativity, reduce inflammation, improve performance at work and school, lower stress and improve attention, among other things. 10. Eat healthier Powered by JANUARY 2015 - 14 Click on the facility or program you visited and want to review to leave us your feedback! A simple rule of thumb is this: When you look at your plate, you should see multiple colors -- greens, oranges, purples, blues and yellows. Eat your greens, control your portions and, most importantly, dare to try new things. GOOD LUCK!
