Goal Setting

So yesterday I completed my third day of workouts. I have my December goal clearly in my sights but there is a need to focus on some shorter and intermediate term goals. I am afraid if I don’t focus on the shorter term goals I will get frustrated and lose sight of my overall objective. I have to keep in mind that in goal setting, which I’m better at giving advice than putting in practice, it is important to set achievable goals. So this week  I will focus on my workouts and my food intake with an achievable goal of dropping down to 162 pounds.

Now this is not going to be as easy as it seems. I will be flying and out of town for four of the next seven days. Any road warrior can tell you that finding healthy food and a decent place to workout while traveling is in of its self a challenge. Tomorrow is going to be troublesome; do I get up crazy early, 5 am,  so I can get in a two hour workout or do I try to find an affordable gym in Salt Lake City. Personally I am leaning for the early workout. Tuesday presents another challenge. I pull a 12 hour duty day with 7 hours and 30 minutes in an airplane. When I get home I will be tired and not really motivated to hit up Lifetime. However I will keep both my daily goal and weekly goal in mind and drag my tired ass to Lifetime.

Current: 164 LBS

Daily Goal: Burn no less than 1000 calories per day through fitness training

Weekly Goal: On September 28 weigh in at 162 or less.

Long Term Goal: December 1st weigh in at 140 LBS.

I’m off to Lifetime I’ll catch you tomorrow

Cheers!
