Okay, minus the South Carolina damage, I am 4 lbs to goal. That means that I am going to need a new one really quick.
Over time, here are the guidelines that help me create and meet a realistic goal.
-It needs to be realistic - medically and physically.
-Be specific.
-Be honest with yourself. It's a goal because it is a challenge. Expect to be amazed and disappointed some days.
-Account for off days, bad days and cheat days. You will and can have them, why torture yourself? This is for you.
-Give yourself a reward.
-Pick 2 goals if want, go for it.
-Pick your method of accountability. It could be the blog, a friend or even facebook.
-Remind yourself daily of how far you have come and how far you are going.
Let's OWN October! I would love to hear your goals. I'm working on mine right now :)
Okay I have two goals one long term goal and one short term goal. Of course my short term goals always change and help me out with the long term goals. My long term goal is to be at my goal weight of 150 by July of 2013.
ReplyDeleteMy second goal is to be able to do 100 push ups (good form and from my toes) by the end of November. As well as 10 pull ups unassisted by the end of October.
After doing the crossfit class Friday I realize how bad my form has gotten with my push ups and the coaches there seem to be more than happy to tell me no rep. They are big on proper technique and form there. Which is a good thing until you realize how lazy you have become with your form and that you get to do lots of extra work in order to make your time and reps count.
PS. I am still accepting donations to be able to continue my newest addiction beyond the living social voucher.
