Now what? (Step 2)

Now what?

So you decided to "get fit". You took the first step of accountability and "measured up". (yikes!) That is a scary first step. After "measuring up" you know where you are at and where you would like to be... but what's next? Now you set goals. Not lofty goals like "I will exercise EVERY single day no matter what!" or "I will lose 50 lbs by next month!" 

I am talking about setting realistic S.M.A.R.T. goals:

Simple and very specific:  Ask yourself: Does my goal clearly and specifically state what I am trying to achieve? If your goal is particularly large or lofty, try breaking it down into smaller, specific SMART goals.

Measurable: How will I know if I am progressing towards achieving my goal? Can I quantify or put numbers to my outcome? (This is why we "measure up" first.)

Achievable: Is achieving my goal dependent on anyone else? Is it possible to reframe my goal so it only depends on me and not others? What factors may prevent my from accomplishing my goal? How can I address those obstacles?

Relevant: Why is achieving this goal important to you? What values in your life does this goal reflect? What effect will achieving your goal have on your life or on others?

Timely: When will I realistically reach my goal? Again, if your goal is particularly large, break it down into smaller goals with appropriate incremental deadlines and celebrate the small victories along the way!
