Goals

I was thinking about my goals today. I have to set goals, and honestly you should as well. With specific goals we are able to have something to reach for.

Goals should be SMART

Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Relavent
Time-Bound

I was thinking I would love to be my pre baby weight by the end of the summer. I was like, yeah right, that's not possible. Then I thought, that's 30 pounds, 10 pounds a month. Actually, that's not that bad and might be attainable. I, however, am a very realistic person. My goal is 1.5 pounds per week. So far I'm right on track!

Then there is something I want to tell you about making weight goals. They should not be everything!!! I found when I loose weight, having that weight goal in mind helps keep me on track. I'm not going to loose sleep over if I didn't make my weight goal, especially if I'm seeing changes in the way my clothes fit. After my first week of Jillian, I actually gained a little bit, but now that I've built up some muscle I'm burning more calories. It'll shed the fat and the pounds right along with it.

Happy Goal Setting!!! :)
