New Year's Resolutions

Now that we are a couple of weeks into the New Year, how are you feeling about your resolutions?  Already discouraged?  Hopefully not, but if you are, you’re not alone.  Most of us set out at the beginning with grand plans for complete overhauls on one or more areas of our lives and then, quickly become overwhelmed and give up.  This year, let’s get there!! 
It’s all about the small things we can and will do everyday.  Sometimes, you have to set a small goal to see if it is a change you can live with.  If it is, it incorporates into your life, if you fight it all the time, maybe it needs to be adjusted.  We all know we should be healthier, but going from the average American diet to no sugar, no soda, and no carbs overnight, is not reasonable and leads to failing those resolutions.  How about making small goals that add things at first rather than taking out all your favorites.  For example, add more vegetables to the meals you already eat.  Love pizza?  Great!!  Have a side salad with it or make sure there are lots of veggies on it.  That can be a great way to at least start adding those into your diet.
Here at Western, we have decided to make it a healthier year, too.  We will be setting monthly goals for our staff to help us incorporate healthier habits into our daily lives.  If you are having a hard time thinking of what you might want to try, check in and do them along with us.
This month’s goal is drinking 64oz of water daily.
Let’s make 2018 the year we really make healthy changes happen!!
