Like clockwork, every New Year’s Eve, the top resolution that’s always made is to lose weight. You know what else happens like clockwork? Half of all people break that resolution in less than a month’s time.

What gives? Well, one problem is a lot of people seem to think that New Year’s Day is some magical time when the truth of the matter is that if you’re not willing to start something the day that you say it, a holiday is probably not going to matter much. Another challenge is people have a tendency to set a goal without really thinking about all that’s required in order to attain it. And some folks? They didn’t plan on sticking to it when they made it. It really just sounded good.

But whether your health resolution is to shed some pounds, exercise more, eat cleaner, drink more water, get more rest---or anything else that will help you to keep your mind, body and spirit in check, here are some bona fide tips for how you can actually make a plan and stick to it in 2017!

About Shellie Reneé

Just a woman who digs all things relationships. HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS, that is. I've been writing (professionally) for close to 20 years, including having two books published. I'm also a marriage life coach and doula. Sometimes I speak to large audiences or do radio interviews, but usually I'm sitting in my favorite chair, surfin' the 'net and penning stuff that I wish I had read in my early 20s.

Listen, I don't have all the answers, not by a LOOOOONG shot. But whatever I can do to spare folks any heartbreak, bitterness or straight-up drama, I'll devote some keystrokes to doing. 

That's it...in a nutshell. For the most part. Kinda. ;)
