January Jump-Start Wellness Challenge 2024!


 As 2023 winds down, many of us reflect on the year that just passed and look forward to the year ahead. If 2023 left you feeling less-than-your-best-healthy-self, stuffed to the brim with cookies/cake/brownies/all-the-baked-goods, cheese, fun holiday drinks, and are ready to feel better, stronger, healthier, less puffy, etc, I can help! 

A brand spankin' new year is perfect for a reset and a resolution to take your body and it's needs seriously. BUT, did you know that over 90% of New Year's Resolutions fail? Don't worry...it's not a resolution death sentence. There are a lot of reasons why we don't stick to our goals, but here are three of the biggest:

  1. They aren't measurable.
  2. They aren't supported.
  3. They aren't reasonable. 

BUT there is hope!

Make Lasting Change in 2024

'Tis the season to think about what we want to change in 2024 (just another way of thinking of a New Year’s resolution). 

Even if you haven't had the best of luck keeping beginning of the year goal, no biggie. This is a brand-new year, and if you're like me, perhaps you feel like shedding the things and habits that don't serve me and making 2024 the best year ever. Who's with me?! 

New Year’s Resolutions get a bad rap because the fail rate is so high...I mean, they aren’t hard to make, they’re hard to keep. In fact, the NYR fail rate is around 90%...wowzer! So if you’re planning on making a fitness, financial or career or personal goal/resolution, make sure to make a plan! The first step is to make a resolution that has a chance! Follow these 4 simple steps when making your New Year's Resolution (NYR) and get ready to reach your goal! 


  1. Set a goal. According to Psychology Today, if you make a goal, you are 10 times more likely to succeed the desired outcome. So, write your resolution down in specific terms. (ex: I will lose 15 pounds by June 1st. I will quit smoking by using the patch by March 15th, I will put $100 into a savings account every month beginning today.) 
  2. Be reasonable. Just as important as setting your goal is making sure that your goal possible and something that you want to do. If eating more fruits and veggies does not appeal to you on any level do not make your resolution to eat more fruits and veggies just because you know it’s good for you. If you want to lose weight, remember that you can only safely lose 1-2 pounds per week, so don’t make your goal to lose 100 pounds by February 2021. If you make $1,000 per month, don’t make your resolution to save $500 per month. Setting goals like this will just ensure another failed NYR. Find something you can be passionate about and go for it. 
  3. Have a game plan. Sure you have your ultimate end-game goal, but knowing how you’re going to get there is super important. This might mean hiring a personal trainer, joining a gym, signing up for a weight loss program, buying nicotine patches or doing research about how to make your goal on the Internet or at the library. Whatever you do, make sure that you have the tools to achieve your goal.
  4. Start NOW. Yes…that’s right…do not wait until January 1st…start today. Whether it’s saving a specific amount of money every week or eating a certain number of fruits and veggies a day, start it now. Maybe not even full force, but use this week to ease into your goal.
