2. MY Goal Specific: I would like to lose 15 pounds in the next 6 weeks. I already eat very healthy so I need to increase the amount I work out to obtain my goal. I will be working out at my boyfriend’s parent’s house during the week and run outside (weather permitting) at my apartment on the weekends. I do have to watch the amount of strain to my knees due to a pre existing issues. I want to lose these 15 pounds because my boyfriend and I are moving so that we can start saving money for a house, it is like a fresh start for us and I would like to do it looking and feeling better. Measureable: This is a very measureable goal. I will weigh myself today and record that measurement. I will weigh myself at the end of each week until the 20th of May. Attainable: I think this is very attainable goal. 15 pounds is not an extreme number to reach, I have done this same thing before. Realistic: It is not impossible to loose 2.5 pounds each week this is a very realistic time frame for the amount of weight I am looking to loose. Timely: I have set my mind to the 10thof May to reach my goal. I think that this is a good time frame to work in. Tangible: By losing 15 pounds I will be able to tone and define the parts of my body that I want to. This makes it a very tangible goal because I will be able to see the results
3. Factors to My Success Positive Barriers Predisposing: My boyfriend started running and working out with me, so I would look forward to working out. Enabling: By having a private gym I was able to think about myself rather than others watching me. Reinforcing: With my boyfriend encouraging me the whole way I felt confident I would succeed. With the semester coming to an end I found myself studying for classes when I could or should have been working out. I didn’t feel well for almost a whole week so I wasn’t able to work out to my full ability.
4. Recourses My boyfriends parents own all the equipment that I needed to exercise properly. With a full gym so close I couldn’t use that as an excuse. I went out a purchased a yoga DVD so I could incorporate that into my workout as well.
5. Recording My Progress I recorded my weight at the beginning and end of each week. I wrote down each day what food group I could have improved upon. I also made note of how long I worked out each day.
6. Results I have not only accomplished my goal but exceeded it. I set out to loose 15lbs in 6 weeks, and I actually lost 18lbs is 6 weeks. I am going to continue to work out and eat healthy. Over the next month or so I will be working on defining my body in the areas I see fit.
