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!

Start Your Lifestyle Journey This New Year

Happy New Year!

This time of year, we often find ourselves re-energized to get ourselves together. This is the time of the year where we see health and fitness items throughout the stores and online ads. Don’t get caught up in what’s trending! It’s time to get focused to start your lifestyle journey with changes for the better. It’s always best to start small and build something bigger and better!

In this 2025 season, I am being intentional about doing something for me each day. I am incorporating some form of exercise daily. Today I did a slow one mile walk, and I am encouraged in this season.

Remember slow and steady wins the race!

What is one thing you can change on the journey to making your lifestyle better?
