Setting Your Goals



This year, make a SMART goals resolution! No matter what your New Years Resolution is, make sure you follow the SMART Goal Setting parameters to increase your chances of success. SMART goals are:


Specific: Not just "be healthier" or "be thinner" but how specifically will you get there? Will it be a focus on Fitness, Food, or both?


Measurable: Instead of "exercise more" or "lose weight" - how many days will you exercise? How much weight will you lose?

Attainable/Achievable: Set yourself up for success! Make your first few goals of the year ones that you KNOW you can achieve with a little effort.

Realistic: If it's not realistic, it's not sustainable. Remember, when it comes to healthy weight loss, 1-2 lbs a week is IDEAL. Aiming for more than that is likely to either discourage you and/or create a yo-yo weight loss effect which does more damage than good.

Time-bound: Short term is best for getting started. Don't forget to promise yourself a (healthy) reward for when you make your deadline!


Set your goals and make your plan!
