Brett Lucas has set a SMART goal to develop a healthier and more active lifestyle over the course of a semester. His goal is to exercise twice a week, eat a better breakfast and lunch and a lighter dinner. Each week he will reflect on how his routine impacted his week. He enjoys eating healthy and being active, and plans to cut out snacks from his diet while utilizing campus gym and ice hockey to work out. Brett hopes to maintain this new lifestyle beyond the semester and feel energized and young at 50 years old.

“Developing a more Healthy and
Active Lifestyle”

2. SMART Goal
• Specific: I will exercise at least twice a week, eat a better breakfast,
good lunch, and lighter dinner.
• Measurable: At the end of each week, I will take 5-10 minutes to
reflect on my week and think about how much better/worse my
overall week went due to this new routine.
• Attainable: I enjoy eating healthy foods, being active, and rested.
• Realistic: I try to eat healthy meals as is, but also eat lots of snacks
that I will now cut out of my diet. I am also on campus all day so
working out at night will work well for me, and play ice hockey
every Tues/Thurs morning.
• Timely: I have started this routine at the beginning of this class, and
plan to continue until the end of the semester and then make any
adjustments and pursue the new lifestyle.

4. Possible Barrier
• It is a very busy semester and workload and
my level of involvement can be a barrier at
times. (I overcome this by justifying an hour at
the gym just for sanity, to get myself out of
“the office)

5. Resources
• Free gym at P.S.U
• Family Support
• The Future: I’d like to start taking care of my
body so when I’m 50 I will feel young still.

6. Evaluation
• So far I have met my goals.

my exercise and healthy diet.
• I am not tired at 5:00 anymore and need a
nap. I am able to wake up early around 7 and
work until 9 and in bed by 11.
