Set a date! SMART goals get results.
Example, "I want to loose 8 lbs in 12 weeks by the time I run a half marathon."
Bonus: Write it down and put it in a place like your fridge or bathroom mirror where you will see it daily as motivation when you need it most
Plan your reward(s).
When you reach your small or large goals make sure there is a prize to keep your eye on.
Examples: new leggings, pedicure, massage, new nail polish, fun date night or new fitness tool.
Lean out your meals.
Eat soup or tea before a meal to make you feel fuller.
Change to an open-face sandwich to cut out about 100 extra calories.
Consume breakfast to help jump start your metabolism.
Drink more water throughout the day to stay properly hydrated.
Make exercise more like playtime
Try something new. Example: paddleboard, trampoline, ski, Pilates, Qi-Gong, kickboxing, tennis, rock climbing, disc golf, pole dancing, battle ropes, ect.
Get on a consistent schedule.
Do activities with friends or family members (ice skate, play at the park, join a sport team, go for a swim).

5. Mobile apps hold you accountable.
