SMART Goals and a Buddy system

Kim Raubenheimer - Thursday, December 31, 2009
When you are putting those 2010 goals in place, make sure they are SMART goals.
S - specific, if it is too broad, "I am going to eat healthier", it will be beyond achievement.
M - measurable.  There must be a way to track and measure your goal to achieve it.
A - A value - this goal must be of importance to you in order to achieve it.  If you are setting a goal for the likes of
another you are less likely to keep up with it.
R - realistic - "I am going to reduce my 38% body fat to 18% in 2 months" is not realistic.
T - Timeframe - all goals need a deadline.  If you don't have a deadline then there is less of an incentive to achieve the goal.

Another thought to consider when establishing your goals is who you surround yourself with and their habits.
Surround yourself with those of similar goals...you are more likely to stick to something when you have friends and family doing the same things.  Studies have shown that people can modify their behavior when surrounded by those with similar goals and habits.  So stick with those healthy buddies, they can keep you on track to healthy living.
Happy Healthy New Year.
