The S.M.A.R.T. Choice

Too often we fall into the never ending abyss of helping others and putting ourselves last.  As a result, we are often too tired to do anything that will improve our health and well being.  Often times taking care of my family, work, maintaining a house, and being an entrepreneur – all of my time to read novels and exercise are cut short.

When trying to lose weight and to be successful, we must make small goals.  Yes, I would like to wave a magic wand and be able to run/jog 2-3 miles a day, but that is not the case… right now.  Yes, I am starting out by walking.  This is a small step but it has huge results.  This goal has me waking up at 5 am getting on my treadmill and walk 1-2 miles.

This is one of my S.M.A.R.T. goals.  My next goal is to increase my water intake.  This is something that I struggle with because my taste buds have become accustomed to having flavor throughout the day and especially with meals.  My goal this week is to drink a minimum of 48 ounces.  I know it is not the daily recommended intake, but it is a start and it is more than what I am consuming now.

Remember to take the time to do something for yourself daily.

Let’s redefine ourselves the S.M.A.R.T. way!

Let me know what your S.M.A.R.T. goals are.  I like to break things up in phases.  I am on the journey of improving my lifestyle for me! Let’s do this!
