It’s been a few days since the presents were opened and the turkey and ham all eaten and I hope you’ve all had a wonderful Christmas. With New Year fast approaching, I’m sure your thoughts have started to turn to plans and goals for 2019?

Weight loss and getting fit are of course amongst the most common and popular New Year’s resolutions and so this week’s episode of the Real Health podcast is all about giving you some health-kick inspiration to start January with a bang.

Peter Thornton, a Laya Healthcoach, plus coach and speaker, Pat Divilly, joined me to give their advice on how to set goals and stick to them covering the following five areas:
1. Planning and preparation
2. Habit formation
3. Dieting myths
4. Mindfulness/awareness
5. Embracing failure and setbacks

Let me know what your goals are for 2019? I'm on Twitter and Instagram @KarlHenryPT or email [email protected]. For more from the show go to:
