Another holiday season has come and gone. The air is filled with talk of New Year’s resolutions, fresh goals, and the promise of a new you, all aimed at making this year better than the last. However, what sets this year apart from the others? Perhaps you feel you indulged a bit too much, enjoyed more drinks than intended, or gained a few pounds. We often end up blaming ourselves, feeling ashamed for lacking willpower and resort to depriving ourselves of certain foods, embarking on cleanses, and starting yet another weight-loss journey. If any of this resonates with you, then keep reading!

There’s a different approach to overcoming guilt and self-criticism, allowing you to feel empowered and motivated as we step into the New Year. Research indicates that by mid-February, 80% of New Year’s resolutions have already fallen by the wayside. Don’t worry though, because it’s not all your fault! Many of us set unrealistic goals, lack a solid plan, don’t have enough accountability, or fail to establish a strong internal incentive for change. We often start too aggressively and don’t align our goals with sufficient motivation which leads to self-criticism. Overcoming that self-criticism is like building any other muscle—it requires practice. Cultivating self-compassion, surrounding yourself with support, staying mindful, reframing setbacks, and celebrating small victories are all important factors to stay on track and create lasting change. Let’s explore some tips to kick off this New Year with a fresh approach.

Learn how you can overcome guilt and self-criticism, in order to feel empowered and motivated as you enter into the New Year.
Learn how you can overcome guilt and self-criticism, in order to feel empowered and motivated as you enter into the New Year.

Begin by asking yourself why you want this change:

  • What significance does it hold for you?
  • What might happen if you don’t pursue this change?
  • What experiences could you gain by making this shift?

This reflection gives you a foundation for understanding your motivations. Next, break your goal down into manageable steps. While you may know your ultimate objective, like losing weight, what are the actionable steps to get there? For instance, if your goal is weight loss, whether you’re trying this for the first time, have tried before, or are starting a new medication with ShedRx, consider the foundational elements:

  • Hydration: Begin by focusing on hydration in January. How can you ensure you’re drinking enough water throughout the day?
  • Movement: In February, focus on incorporating more movement into your routine. How can you fit in a few days of
    activity? Could you start counting your steps each day?
  • Nutrition: After adding some movement, our bodies feel better and we need to introduce more nutrient-dense foods. This is where meal planning and prepping can be quite beneficial. By planning your meals, you can avoid the temptation of fast food on your way home from work.

The key is to introduce one new habit each month or, if you are feeling motivated, each week, building a solid foundation for lasting change. Instead of feeling guilty for not meeting lofty expectations, set small, achievable goals that allow you to celebrate your accomplishments. As you continue to achieve these small goals, you’ll find renewed motivation to keep going. You’ll start to notice positive changes, which is incredibly rewarding. Remember,
only you can rewrite your story. Rather than dwelling on past disappointments, let’s embrace the New Year with the affirmation that you can succeed! You are capable of overcoming challenges! Speak to yourself as you would to a friend and remind yourself of the difficult things you’ve already accomplished. This time, you’ll be better prepared. You’ve got this!

The holidays are a time of joy and celebration, but they can also bring extra demands on our time and energy. With the busy social events, festive meals, and family gatherings, it’s natural for routines to be tested. If you’re on a GLP-1 weight-loss journey, it can feel especially challenging to prioritize workouts, healthy meals, and consistency with your goals. The fun of the season combined with the allure of delicious holiday treats may make it feel like staying on track requires extra effort. 

Here’s the good news: With a little planning and creativity, you don’t have to let the holiday bustle throw you off course. It’s absolutely possible to embrace the holidays while staying aligned with your goals. Here are some tips to help you enjoy the season without compromising your progress:

1. Incorporate Movement Throughout the Day

You don’t need to carve out hours at the gym each day to stay active during the holidays. Try splitting up your movement—morning stretches, a walk at lunch, and some light yoga in the evening can do wonders. Even if you’re on a tight schedule, simple steps like taking the stairs instead of the elevator can add up quickly. Movement is about consistency, not duration, so make it a habit that fits naturally into your day.

Quick Tip: Set a timer every couple of hours to remind yourself to take a 5-minute break and move your body, whether it’s a quick walk or some light stretching!

2. Meal Prep Like a Pro

Holiday meals and treats can quickly throw off your healthy eating, but a little preparation can make all the difference. Dedicate some time each week to prepare your meals so healthy options are always within arm’s reach. Stock up on grab-and-go snacks like chopped veggies, boiled eggs, or protein shakes to resist temptation when hunger strikes. When nutritious food is ready to grab, you’re less likely to fall into the trap of unhealthy choices.

Quick Tip: Block off an hour on Sundays to batch-cook your meals and snacks and organize them in individual containers. That way, you can enjoy nutritious meals without scrambling during the week!

3. Prioritize Protein

Feeling full and satisfied makes it easier to avoid overindulging in holiday sweets. Make protein a priority in every meal and snack which helps maintain stable blood sugar levels and keeps cravings in check. Whether it’s a turkey lettuce wrap, a protein shake, or a grilled chicken salad, protein should take center stage in your holiday meals to help you feel satisfied and energized throughout the day.

Quick Tip: Pack a handful of protein-rich snacks like roasted chickpeas or a protein bar in your bag to keep hunger at bay and stay on track.

4. Create Small Rituals to Stay Grounded

Even in the excitement of the holidays, creating small rituals can help you stay focused on your goals. Whether it’s a 5-minute morning meditation or an evening stretching routine, these rituals serve as reminders of what’s important. Even a few minutes of mindful breathing or stretching can reset your energy, making it easier to stay on track with your wellness goals.

Quick Tip: Set a daily alarm for a 3-minute “wellness break” to give your mind and body the attention it needs.

You don’t have to let the holiday business ruin your progress. It’s totally possible to celebrate while staying on track with your goals.

5. Hydrate with Purpose

Holiday beverages like hot chocolate, eggnog, and festive cocktails can sneak extra calories and sugar into your diet. Make sure you’re staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Alternating between your holiday drinks and water will help balance out the extra sugar and keep your energy steady. Hydration is key to maintaining focus, reducing cravings, and supporting overall wellness.

Quick Tip: Carry a reusable water bottle with you everywhere you go and drink a full glass of water before indulging in any holiday beverages.

6. Get Creative with Healthier Versions of Treats

Indulging in holiday treats doesn’t mean you have to derail your progress. There are plenty of healthy alternatives that can satisfy your sweet tooth. Try baking cookies with almond flour or using natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit for a lower-carb dessert. Look for ways to make your favorite holiday treats work for your health goals, without feeling deprived.

Quick Tip: Make your holiday desserts using ingredients like almond flour or coconut flour to create delicious, lower-carb alternatives that taste just as festive!

7. Stay Engaged with Your Support Circle

Having a support system during the holidays is a game changer. Connect with a friend, family member, or health coach who understands your health journey. Whether it’s through text messages, social media check-ins, or meal-sharing ideas, staying connected will keep you motivated to stay on track, even when things get busy.

Quick Tip: Schedule weekly check-ins with your accountability buddy to share victories and challenges, keeping the holiday joy front and center.

8. Practice Self-Compassion

The holidays are meant to be a time of joy, not perfection. There will be moments when things don’t go as planned, whether it’s skipping a workout or indulging in an extra cookie. Instead of feeling guilty, remember your journey is about progress, not perfection. Embrace the holidays with grace and focus on getting back on track with your next meal or movement.

Quick Tip: If you miss a workout or indulge a little too much, don’t stress. Get back to your healthy habits with your next meal. Balance, not perfection, is key!

The holiday season is all about balance and celebrating the memories you make. With small, intentional choices, you can enjoy everything this season has to offer while staying connected to your goals. Remember, it’s your journey, so make the holidays work for you. Here’s to a balanced, joyful season and a bright, strong year ahead!

Whether you’re toasting to loved ones, health, Christmas, or simply to living another year, the holidays allow for a special season of celebration. While it’s great to celebrate, it may seem intimidating to harness your health progress amidst the wining and dining. This doesn’t mean you need to remove yourself from the fun with friends and family, though. We’ve concocted some delicious drink ideas for you to enjoy throughout the holidays and all-year long.
