Wednesday, December 27, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Fit For Sisters Andrew Luscutoff Columnist New Year’s resolutions Christmas is in the rear- view mirror; soon it will be New Year’s. It’s time to partake in the American tradition of retro- spection about the past year, and vows to improve in the coming year. We’re swear- ing off the indulgent foods and lack of exercise once the new year begins. 2018 will be a milestone of per- sonal health and fitness. If this sort of talk sounds familiar, it’s because there are millions of others doing the same thing. New Year’s resolutions are often dreamt during the blood-sugar spikes of the holiday eating and the ball dropping on an alcohol-infused night of cel- ebrating an arbitrary date on the calendar referred to as New Year’s. Some 27 percent of reso- lutions involve health and fitness, which often involve a diet and exercise plan aggressively positioned to succeed. The stats of suc- cess, however, are rather bleak. Only 8 percent of these goals are met, accord- ing to Forbes Magazine. Custom Design & Repairs 549-9388 The discrepancy between aspiration and actualization often falls on arbitrary goals without proper planning or tactics for execution. Making the proclama- tion that you’re going to lose weight and eat better is so vague that any con- firmation bias can be actu- alized. Eating “better” can mean hundreds of different things. Eating organic bacon instead of regular? Vegan chocolate cake? Some practical tips might increase your odds of suc- cess this resolution season. Stair-step goals: Just as the pyramids were built one stone at a time, goals need to be structured the same way. If you’re not exercising at all, perhaps 10 minutes a day is the goal to make in the first two weeks. Frequency should be high (to establish a habit- ual routine) and duration should be low (to help with compliance). The same goes for diet. Elimination of 100 calories a day will result in 10 pounds of weight loss over the course of a year (about the amount of calories in a piece of bread). Start with add- ing one more vegetable and fruit a day and taking away just one calorie-laden food. Be specific and thorough: Everyone wants to exer- cise more and eat less. This is a good start but it’s just Starts Friday Fri., Dec. 29 – Thurs., Jan. 4 The Greatest Showman (PG) Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle (PG-13) Fri-Thurs 1:30, 4:00, 6:45 Fri-Thurs 1:15, 4:15, 7:15 Star Wars: The Last Jedi ** (PG-13) Fri-Thurs 12:45, 3:45, 7:00 New Year’s Eve Bash 7th Annual • No Cover! – 8PM to 1AM – Drink Specials * Balloon Drop Midnight Champagne Toast!

Establishing a work-around for com- mon sticking points will be essential. Going on vacation in January? Where are the safe places to eat nearby and when will exercise happen? Plan and prepare. Not all success needs to be a fairy tale: Growing up in the “you can be whatever you want to be” generation may leave millennials dis- illusioned about the reali- ties of the world, but many people actually fall to the same fallacy. Their utopian New Year’s resolutions are too big a piece of pie-in- the-sky. Losing 50 pounds? Exercising for an hour every day? Goals like that are hardly ever realized — and falling short can be discouraging and counterproductive. How about taking the approach many savings experts say is the best way to sock away for retirement? A little at a time adds up to a fortune with compounding interest. Make a small change and the ripple effect will soon have other changes coming easier and easier. Use these tools to pre- pare for resolutions that actually make sense. When taken one step at a time, with a thorough vision — and realistic goals — a reso- lution can stick. You might even find it easy. ** Sorry, no movie vouchers or passes allowed by Walt Disney Co. through Sat. December 30. Movie times and titles are bsite subject to change.
