Happy New year to you! I hope you had a really fantastic Christmas, and indulged, relaxed and took time out from your normal routine.

The reason why so many people find January so hard is because all their healthy habits have been broken, and it takes time to rebuild new ones. It’s this battle of working hard to be get back on track, that can leave us not feeling great. But if you stick with it, in 3 weeks time, you’l feel really good again. So I’ve put together some helpful tips, that if you follow them, you’ll feel really good quite quickly.

Also, remember that when you get on track again, you won’t see results straight away, but they are on the way.

1. Eat breakfast, lunch and dinner.
2. Always have two snacks per day.
3. Avoid eating after dinner, it’s just a habit, and it’s a habit you can break.

5. Work on yourself, the whole time.
6. Don’t take compliments seriously, let them brush off you. Same for negative comments. Treat them both the same and you’ll start to place less weight on what people say or think of you.

2. Always do strength training at least twice per week. It will boost your metabolism and increase lean muscle.
3. If you have an office job, leave your desk at lunch and go for a walk
