Make 2015 your best year yet

Are you still under the influence of a Christmas binge fest? Don't give up hope! It only takes a couple of weeks to climb out of your rut and be back with a vengeance! 

Here's my top 5 tips: 

1. Don't panic! You can't change what's happened but you can wipe the slate clean and move on. You can be in total control from this point onwards. 
2. Set goals and get EXCITED about them - make them tangible so they mean something to you. What do you want to achieve and when do you want to achieve them by? Why do you want to do this? How are you going to achieve it?
3. Make the commitment to yourself! You may need to make some sacrifices but looking after yourself is the best gift you can give to your kids! Make a written promise that you will give it 110%, no excuses and that you'll never EVER give up.
4. Believe in yourself and banish negative self talk. If you don't believe you can do it, then most likely, you won't. Replace your negative thoughts or words with positive ones. If you keep on telling yourself that you're fat, hopeless and don't have enough time, then your subconscious will believe it and prevent you from achieving what you want out of life.
5. Above all you need to be consistent AND patient. None of the above will work if you aren't.The number one reason people fail in their attempts to lose weight and live a healthier life is they simply give up too soon! You can't change the way you look or feel overnight, but in 12 weeks you can see some amazing results!
