2. My Goal: To Be More Active
S – (Specific) I will be more active everyday. By going for a jog
outside or on a treadmill 3 times a week for 2 miles each time,
snowboarding 3 times a week for 3 hours each time, and doing
some cardiovascular exercises everyday for 45 minutes.
M – (Measureable) I will measure this by marking my calendar
ahead of time. Also keeping a log to make sure I met my specific
goal.
A – (Attainable) This goal is attainable because I used to run track
in high school to get ready for lacrosse. Also I bought a loon
pass this year and have my car so I will be able to make it to the
mountain to attain my goal. I learned some cardiovascular
exercises in this course so I know which ones to do to keep me
active.
R – (Realistic) This goal is realistic because I am ready to become
more active. I have never marked a calendar for health and
active life before and I know this will work because I’m
responsible and I want to do this for me and no one else.
T – (Timely) This goal started 2 weeks ago on the 9th, and I plan on
keeping up with it at least till the snow is melted or I feel like I
3. MY GOAL CONTINUED…
I chose this goal because I honestly feel much less active
than I used to be in high school. I used to work out, run
fall track, run winter track , and play lacrosse in the
spring. Now all I do is sit on my ass and watch TV.
Sometimes I go skateboarding, but that’s not too often. I
also snowboard but I feel like that’s not enough.
The steps to accomplish my goal is to create a S.M.A.R.T.
chart which I already have done. Mark my calendar for
the next month or 2 to stay on track with my goal of being
more active. Also I will keep a log to make sure I am
attaining these goals.

5. PROCESS:
On Monday’s, Wednesday’s, and Friday’s I will wake up eat a
Nature’s Valley. After I eat I will go for a run outside if it’s
not raining, snowing, or icy. If it is I will go to Langdon
and run on the treadmill. After I run, I will do
cardiovascular exercises for 45 minutes.
On Tuesday’s, Thursday’s, and Saturday’s I will wake up, get
dressed, and drive to Lincoln to get a breakfast sandwich.
After I eat I will head to Loon Mountain and go
snowboarding for 3 hours. When I get home I will eat
again and do some cardiovascular exercises for 45
minutes.
I am going to enable myself to reach these goals.
6. RESULTS:
So far I have been reaching my goal to be more active. Every
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I have been running and
doing my 45 minute cardiovascular exercises.
Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, I have been
snowboarding and doing my 45 minute cardiovascular
exercises.
On Sunday’s I relax.
I’m still attaining my goal and measuring my goal.
I feel like I have already accomplished my goal, but I am
going to keep going with it because I want to stay active.
