1. Dee Smith S.M.A.R.T Goal

2. My Goal Specific: I would like to work out 5 days a week and focus on all muscles of the body. Measurable: I will make a journal of what I do. I can also see the days that I skip and really try to push myself to not miss any more days than I am allowed. Attainable: I will make the time that I need to work out and go with a friend, that way I am more likely to go. Realistic: I enjoy working out, I would just like to be more consistent with my workout. Therefore I believe I can do this. Timely: I would like to reach this goal one month from today and hopefully at that point it will be part of my routine that I feel comfortable to continue going and will still be keeping my journal.

4. Process To achieve my goal I had a partner. My roommate and I would go to the gym together and it was a great motivational tool. I also would prepare a different workout for us the night before we would go. We fell into a routine, we always went on the same days at the same time. If something came up or held me back I would make sure to go another time or on the day that I would have off, I still did this even if my roommate could not come with me. I made a calendar and gave myself a star for everyday that I went to the gym. That is what you see in the previous slide. I could see my progress and if I was slacking I could see it on paper.

5. Results As you can see from the calendar I did go to the gym 5 days a week, so I did complete my goal. I did not notice any changes in my body or weight but I do feel better all around about exercising, it became much easier for me to move as time went on. I think the reason for that is because I am working on toning and building muscle, so even though I am losing the body fat I am building muscle. At the beginning I was sore almost every day but now I don’t get sore at all. I feel really good about my goal and I am going to continue going to the gym as often as I can, even after school ends.
