Week 4: S.M.A.R.T. Goals!
This week is about choosing S.M.A.R.T. goals: specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely (Haughey 2017). Think about what you really want to achieve as your main goal. For example: lose 10 lbs, gain muscle mass, improve agility, and eat better, etc. Picture yourself a year from now, and where you want to be. Write it down now on paper and write GOALS above it.
With this main goal in mind write down two specific eating habits you can do now to help you achieve this goal. Now, write down two specific fitness habits you can do today and this day forward that will help you achieve this goal.
Take a moment and now put some thought into what you can do to make these changes happen today and for the next four weeks onwards! These goals need to be micro-goals that are S.M.A.R.T. goals (Haughey 2017). For example: one micro-goal could be to eat fresh vegetables with every meal. Another one could be to start walking 30 to 60 mins every day. Another can be to prepare healthy meals the day ahead or week ahead. Another one could be for example to drop into CrossFit three times a week. These are all examples of changing old habits and creating new ones that are manageable and achievable.
This week is about committing to healthy habits that you can implement into your life, to make lasting change!
I want everyone to keep their goals sheet, and have it as a reminder on their wall or somewhere they will see it everyday as a reminder of these goals!
“Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.” —Pablo Picasso
