After the holidays, the resolution to lose 5 pounds and get back on a budget seems wise to many of us!

Here are a couple of tips for getting things back to "normal":

1) Deliberate on why you want to do this, and the rewards you will have from doing this - such as peace of mind. Use positive reinforcement rather than feeling down on yourself for holiday excess.

2) Remember that good habits take time to make. It takes an average of 28 days to form a habit. If you slip up, that's ok - just keep working on a resolution until it becomes habitual.

Happy New Year!
