The month of January is coming to an end and I only have one question for everyone, who has kept their new year’s resolution? Each year, many of us want to eat healthier, start working out and the one most commonly heard, lose weight. Unfortunately this may be the time of the month where frustration and lack of motivation starts creeping in. However don’t fret blog readers, we want to provide tips that may just make your new’s year resolutions stick this year.
Tip #1: Modify or change your resolution to an attainable goalBe realistic, such as losing one pound per week or eating one more vegetable or fruit serving each day.
Tip#2: Don’t expect results so quick, don’t rush it!
Give yourself time to make lifestyle changes. Losing a bunch of weight won't happen overnight (or let alone within the month of January)! 
Tip #3: Prioritize Sleep
Get the sweets out of the house, “close” the kitchen, or choose a relaxing activity that’s not food related and trust me, it is a urge that will pass. We are creatures of habit but making new healthier habits are easily changed with time!
Tip #5: Stay positive
Sticking to a new diet is difficult. Try not to get discouraged if you find yourself slipping a little. Do the best you can each day, and take each day one at a time.
One last thought to leave you with, my favorite weight loss suggestion is to keep a food diary. Research shows food diaries being a valuable tool when trying to lose weight. Write down, for better or worse, every calorie that passes through your lips each day. Keeping a food diary will allow you to see exactly how much you are eating each day, holding you more accountable for foods chosen and portion sizes consumed.
Wishing you a happy and healthy 2012 and best of luck from Healthy Table! We believe in you!
