Short Term Goals

Okay, what is a short term goal? For many it is something that can be achieved in a small amount of time. Whether that is a day, week, or month. So think about something you want to achieve... will it take you a while to get there? Start small.
If it is a room that needs to be redecorated, you'd start by emptying all the junk, then move on to another aspect of the room.
Well, in respect to getting back into shape or loosing weight, you need to start small too.

Here's your list of questions to ask yourself-
What do I want to achieve?
Do I want lots of weight loss?
Do I want to gain muscles?
Do I just want to be able to walk a flight of stairs without being winded?
Do I want to be able to run/walk a 5K?

Now choose your goal and start with baby steps.
Maybe it will be getting rid of the soda you drink during the day, taking the stairs instead of elavator, parking in the farthest parking spot at work, walking around your block, down your road or on your treadmill for 10 minutes each day.

YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE CHOICE AND STICK WITH IT!
Let's pick one thing to focus on until the end of April. Write it down or share it here on the blog. Make yourself accountable to someone else!

My goal for this month- I want to loose 5 pounds. I will do this by continuing my exercise routine and watching what I eat.

Your turn to share! Leave me a message!

I have somehow gotten out of the habit of heathly eating...and I need to whip myself back into shape! (pun intended) :)

I'm so glad you have added your goal!! We just need to push eat other do meet our goals! Now that the weather is looking better, we can get moving on the trails again! And that should surely add to our goals!

I hope this works.
My goal for this month is to get out side and go for a walk every day. as long as the weather is nice. if not I will lift free weights. That is about all I can do for now until my knee heals up. I will also continue to watch what I eat.

Great goals ladies!

One goal at a time.
My goal will be to lose 10 pounds by Memorial Day Weekend. We are heading to New Mexico to visit friends.
