We’re sure that you have already been asked – what do you want for Christmas? This year, why not set your intention for January 1st and ask for something that will delight you on Christmas Day but also boost your journey into weight loss and a healthier lifestyle in the new year?
Customised Fitness Gear:
Movement will boost both your mental and physical health. So get set for 2024 by asking for some fantastic workout gear. And don’t worry it doesn’t need to be Lycra! If walking is your thing then ask for good quality walking shoes. If you prefer a swim, then ask for a well structure swimming costume. There is a plethora of activities that you can get involved with so do a little research as o what is available and ask for the kit that you need to get started.
Slow Cooker:
If you tend to reach for the takeaway menu when you get in from work then a slow cooker is the perfect gift. With a little prep you can ensure that you always come home to a warm, home cooked meal. Before you head off in the morning, pop some lean meat, evenly chopped veg and potatoes and a small amount of stock into the slow cooker. Season well and set the timer. And voila! Not only will you have a delicious dinner, you will also have the satisfaction of knowing it contains wholesome ingredients.
Retail Voucher:
Is your weight loss goal linked to a special event in 2024? We often hear that patients have a wedding, a special anniversary or a once-in-a-lifetime holiday on the horizon. If this resonates with you then why not ask for a voucher to your favourite dress shop? That way you choose something fabulous to wear and a
Journal:
A weight loss journal is an invaluable tool in your journey to your goal. You can track, plan and reflect giving you increased visibility on what you eat, how much movement you achieve, your mood and motivation levels. We know our more successful patients do this and research of participants whos kept a food diary lost twice as much as those who kept no record. So why not request a Journal that suits your style and start tracking? (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18617080/)
Subscription to an audiobook service:
Weight loss is not just physical; it’s also about your mental health. A subscription to a service that offer audio versions of mindfulness books and a variety of wellbeing podcasts can help you to stay centred and focused on your goal. .
We hope we’ve got you thinking beyond body lotion or a new scarf (although these are always useful) and inspired you this Christmas, ask for gifts that celebrate your health and wellbeing goals for 2024.
