What are your health goals for 2022?

 

Chances are, if you are serious about making changes, you have already considered what you plan to change.  If not, what are you waiting for?  The clock is ticking, and there are only a few days left in this year.  Let us all strive to move into 2022 minus old addictions and toxic habits.  (Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us… Hebrews 12:1)  If we are going to successfully abandon old addictions and habits, it is imperative that we formulate a plan!   Without a plan, you plan to fail.  (Where there is no vision, the people perish. Proverbs 29:18)

Your plan MAY include the following:

Do you plan to lose weight?

Do you plan to reduce your salt/sugar intake?

Do you want to include more fruits/vegetables in your diet?

Do you want to replace animal protein with plant-based protein?

Do you want to eliminate fried foods from your diet?

Do you want to reduce the amount of processed foods?

Do you want to start exercising? Or perhaps, you want to exercise more.

Whatever fitness/health goal(s)  you have for 2022 - remember you must plan.  Then, you must work your plan.  (Write the vision, and make it plain.  Habakkuk 2:2)

These are just a few tips to help you get started.

1. If your health goals include food related changes, you should already be restocking your pantry and revising your grocery list.  Now is a good time to stock up on things that you will need to successfully achieve your goals.  For example, if you plan to increase your water intake, start stocking up on bottled water or purchase a purifier for your faucet. 

2. Decide on a date to get started.  If you plan to enjoy a New Year’s feast, it would not be wise to set your starting date for January 1st.

3. Stick to your plan.  If you waver, it is not the end of the world.  Get up and keep moving forward.  Remember, a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again. (Proverbs 24:16)
