People go overboard on the New Year\u2019s Resolutions and start pushing themselves to the extreme. It is great to have new year\u2019s resolutions but it is also important not to push yourself over the edge and be miserable.<\/p>\n<p>New Year\u2019s resolutions aren\u2019t meant to be impossible drastic changes, rather small manageable changes that you won\u2019t quit by the time February comes. Instead of taking one giant step why not take baby steps that you know you can achieve. Remember baby steps still mean you\u2019re moving.<\/p>\n<p>One of the main New Year\u2019s resolutions people make is to lose weight. You don\u2019t have to cut out all your favorite foods and live on lettuce for the rest of the year to do this. Making small changes can have a huge effect on your success to achieving this goal.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7512\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/spas.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/exercise.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7512\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7512\" src=\"https:\/\/spas.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/exercise.jpg\" alt=\"https:\/\/expertbeacon.com\/exercising-regularly-helps-boost-your-immune-system\/#.WG-0MFWLTcs\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spas.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/exercise.jpg 630w, https:\/\/spas.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/exercise-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-7512\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">https:\/\/expertbeacon.com\/exercising-regularly-helps-boost-your-immune-system\/#.WG-0MFWLTcs<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Exercise is a big part of losing weight, but it doesn\u2019t have to be a grueling experience. Maybe take up a sport or a fun class you can do with your friends to make exercising more enjoyable. Why not try swimming? It is a great exercise for losing weight as you are using your whole body, plus its fun.<\/p>\n<p>Another little tip, if you take the bus home from work why not get off a few stops earlier and walk the rest of the way home. It may not feel like you\u2019re doing much but all those little steps add up.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7513\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/spas.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/sleep.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7513\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-7513 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/spas.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/sleep.jpg\" width=\"630\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spas.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/sleep.jpg 630w, https:\/\/spas.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/sleep-300x203.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-7513\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">wiki media<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Another thing you can do to lose weight without actually doing anything is sleep. Lack of sleep can cause you to feel less satisfied after meals and drive you to sugar for quick pick me ups during the day. As I mentioned exercise is a key part of losing weight but with less sleep you feel less energised and definitely the last thing you want to do is work out.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to food we all like to treat ourselves, but if we do this everyday can we really call it a treat? When we eat unhealthily every day it doesn\u2019t make us feel any better, it makes us feel worse and sometimes guilty.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/spas.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/fy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7514\" src=\"https:\/\/spas.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/fy.jpg\" alt=\"https:\/\/turnkeyparlor.com\/\" width=\"630\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spas.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/fy.jpg 630w, https:\/\/spas.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/fy-300x229.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When you have sweet cravings try opt for something other than a chocolate bar. If you feel you can\u2019t fight that chocolate craving opt for dark chocolate, the higher the percentage the better.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re craving an ice cream why not try frozen yogurt. The great thing about frozen yogurt is you can get it in a variety of flavors, even chocolate and feel guilt free. Why not add fruit or granola to mix it up. Remember don\u2019t deprive yourself of the things you love, it\u2019s OK to treat yourself but not to overindulge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once January comes around all you hear is new year new me.
