Goal setting
Download the Goal planner tool. Before you start your 10-week Challenge, it’s important to identify the specific aspects of your lifestyle you’re going to change. Goals need to be clear and achievable. You don’t have to change everything at once.
1 - Visit your GP 2 - Complete a snapshot of where you are at now3 - Select your short term goals
Now that you have decided what you want to achieve at the end of 10 weeks, it’s time to set smaller and easily achieved short term goals that will lead you on your way to achieve your long-term goal. View the sub-goals relating to your chosen long-term goal.
4 - Future goals
At the end of the 10-week program, don’t let your enthusiasm fade away. Write yourself some goals for the future. What changes would you like to maintain? What are some new changes you’d like to make? What do you want to have achieved by the end of 2011? |
