Set a Goal and Go For It

It’s Monday and time to jump right back into my program after a week off.  I am refreshed and rearing to go.  I need to build up my strength for my RKC Certification and I’ve got less than 12 weeks to get it done.  Having a specific goal to work toward keeps me focused and motivated.

It’s important that your goal is realistic.  To tell yourself I want to lose 30 lbs. in 4 weeks is a recipe for disaster.  You’ll be upset that you didn’t reach it and may cause yourself to quit altogether. 

This time of year is a perfect time to sign up for a charity walk or run.  Find one that is a couple months away and train specifically for it.  Find a recreational team to join.  Here in my area there are soccer and volleyball teams that you can join for fun.

Perhaps you have a wedding or family reunion in a few months.  Use that date as a goal and work towards that. 

Set a goal, make sure it’s realistic and go for it!  Share it here!  I’ll cheer you on!
