Is It Enough To Be Resolute?

The success rates of resolutions are not promising.  Depending on the source you read, around 50% of resolutions are abandoned within a month.  And by the time 6 months rolls around, over 90% have been forgotten.  So what is the key to achieving your newly determined goals?

Alan Marlatt, director of the University of Washington’s Addictive Behaviors Research Center, indicates the following as behavior common to people who keep their resolutions:
• Have a strong initial commitment to make a change.
• Have coping strategies to deal with problems that will come up.
• Keep track of your progress. The more monitoring you do and feedback you get, the better you will do.

This seems almost like plain old common sense doesn’t it?  It certainly rings true for me.   But nonetheless, most people just don’t seem to be able to lock in those new habits tied to their resolutions.

I think that lack of success is tied to a lack of resources.  You need a network or team to help bolster your commitment during the inevitable moments of weakness.  You need coaching to help you come up with the most effective strategies for dealing with the problems you will face.  You need a place and a method for recording the process of achieving your goals and you need your team to work with you in constantly monitoring that process and adjusting your approach.

And this is exactly what you will get with the Resolution program.  This is not a quick-fix weight loss program.  This is a full 90 day plan designed to help you make a permanent U-turn in our health and fitness.  Over the course of the program you will make the body transformation you have been dreaming about, but you will also learn how and why the program works and how it relates to the rest of your life.  You can read what one of my current Resolution clients thinks about it in this thread.

This is a turn-key program.  Everything will be laid out for you.  All you need to do is put in the work.  And I’ll be honest with you, there is work and discomfort involved.  You will learn to push yourself physically.  You will learn to break old nutritional habits and replace them with better practices.  And you will learn what it takes to maintain the balanced physical health and well-being that you expect for the rest of your life.
