- 2. My Goal SMARTGoal S – Lose 10 pounds. I will use the treadmill for 1hour and the elliptical for 30mins every Monday and Wednesday at the HUB gym. M – I will measure this by doing weekly weigh ins. A – I believe that this activity will be a good way for me to remain active after class and work especially on Monday and Wednesday when my day ends earlier than others. This goal will be more achievable if I find a workout buddy; perhaps my roommate or sister. R – Throughout the day I am constantly walking from class to class. Because I am used to walking, this goal is very realistic. T – This goal will be accomplished by 11/16. The reason I chose this goal is because I want to become a healthier person.

- 3. Barriers & Resources Making time to go to the gym is a huge barrier. Between classes, work, and hours of homework it seems impossible. This is the biggest barrier for me. After long days of classes, I usually just want to sit and relax. The last thing I think about it going to the gym to exhaust myself some more. Buying healthier food may also be something that might hinder my progress. Healthy foods tend to cost more and sticking to my budget is critical. I’ll have to find a way to make this work and cut back on non-essential items. Having a work out buddy will definitely be a useful resource that will help me reach my goal. Knowing that someone else is depending on me will keep me from finding excuses to cancel. My drive to accomplish this will be a great resource in helping me. This is something I really want and need to do for myself and my own dedication will pull me through.

In addition to working out at least twice a week, I need to watch my food intake. My goal is to cut out unnecessary food like French fries, soda, and chips and replace it with yogurt, fruit, water. Working out and eating healthier will help me reach my goal of losing 10lbs.

- 6. Evaluation I didn’tmeet my goal. I lost 8 lbs and my goal was to lose 10. But this doesn’t mean I am giving up. I will keep trying by continuing to go to the gym regularly and eat healthy. Now that I have been doing this for 9 weeks its easier for me. It’s habit to go to the gym after my classes. Choosing salads and fruit over junk food and fries has become easier too. I learned that eating healthy isn’t that hard. I learned some tips from watching The Biggest Loser and I incorporated them into my life. I learned that the more I go to the gym, the more I actually want to go. Of course it is hard work and exhausting, but I always left feeling good about what I accomplished. The biggest thing I learned is that exercising and eating right really does make you feel better. I fee like I have more energy. I’m able to sleep better at night now so I feel rested in the morning. Also setting a specific goal with a specified time frame makes reaching the goal more likely and keeps you motivated.
