I bet if we took a poll of everyone’s New Year’s resolutions, our ratios would look similar to this chart compiled by Statista.  Like the Statista poll, chances are many of us have resolutions tied to a health goal.  But being healthy is about more than losing weight. It is about feeling and looking healthy.

When we decide to eat healthier and get more exercise, we may see the scale move. We might not.  So instead of having that be your only measure of success, consider also tracking some of these non-scale victories:

• Healthier faster growing hair
• Stronger nails
• Clearer skin
• Fewer headaches
• Less joint pain
• Better quality sleep
• More mental clarity
• Improved digestion
• Lost inches
• Better fitting clothes
• More energy
• Improved mobility

Choose which of these metrics you will use to measure your progress….after all health is about more than a number!
