Set weight loss goals
I wonder how many of us have our goals for this and the future years wrote. And I do not just mean our weight loss or fitness goals.
A happy and healthy life is based on balance. To ensure that our lives have the necessary balance, we must think and actually write what our goals are in a range of different titles of aspects of life.If you have not written your goals for this year, this article serves as a wake-up call and will give you some ideas to get started.
Getting the right balance in our life is making sure that all aspects of life are covered.
Now those aspects will be unique to each one of us but may include areas such as:
Physical HealthMental health
Family
friends
Career
Work
Hobbies
Financial
Relaxation
soul
Cultural
Of course, our weight loss goals will be affected by physical health in the previous examples, but you may want to be more specific to really focus your attention. For example, you could divide this into other categories, such as aerobic exercise and resistance training, stretching, etc.
The objectives we have for 2017 may or may not be part of our long-term objectives. For example, if we want to change careers or lose a significant amount of weight beyond 2006, goals for this year should represent steps towards those long-term goals.
Let's say that our long-term goal is to lose 50 kilograms. If we expect to lose this weight at a rate of around half a kilo per week, reaching our final goal will take it to 2019.
This means that by 2006, our weight loss goals should include the loss of, say, 16 or 20 kilos.
The key here is not to become too ambitious with our objectives, because if they are not realistic they will serve to demotivate us instead of motivating us. We want our goals to focus our attention and effort on the things that are important to us and to guide us to the future life we want.
To ensure that your goals are not unrealistic, try to divide them into long-term (5 years or more) and short-term (12 months or less).
Focus on actions
Sometimes it is better and more effective for us to focus on the things we must do besides our final goals.
For example, if our goal is to lose 10 kilograms, it is important to concentrate on the actions we are going to take to achieve that final goal. In this case, our goals for 2006 may include walking 45 minutes from Monday to Friday each week and one hour on Sundays. In addition, we could set the goal of limiting the amount of food we eat to once a fortnight or once a week if we are currently eating it more often.
Focusing on actions in addition to our goals is particularly useful if our goals seem to be too far away or difficult to achieve. Also, if we focus on the lifestyle actions of the day to day, the actions we take will help us to keep our spirits up and to cope when the progress in the long-term goal comes slowly.
As we begin to act, we will gain a true sense of accomplishment that is really important.
Make goals S.M.A.R.T
Like all goals, weight loss goals should be S.M.A.R.T. In this context, S.M.A.R.T. it means specific, measurable, realistic, achievable and timely.
Make sure that the objectives you establish are very specific and clear. For example, instead of setting a goal to "lose weight" or be "healthier", set a specific goal to lose 2 cm from your waist or walk 5 kilometers a day.
Choose an objective that can be divided into measurable steps. Doing this will help keep you motivated because it will remind you that reaching your final goal should not happen all night and you can begin to enjoy the satisfaction of reaching each step towards your final goal before.
Do not set goals that are too far away or unattainable. If he does, he will only force him to judge himself too hard and he will end up losing motivation quickly and giving up. It is much better to set an intermediate goal that is at least partly towards your ultimate goal and, once you have achieved it, establish an additional goal that is to start with the ballistics.
For example, the goal of losing 10kgs in a week is set to fail. But set a goal to lose 5kgs for 3 or 6 months and when you achieve it, the goal of losing another 5kgs will keep you motivated.
To be realistic, a goal must represent an objective that YOU can achieve. This is different from what can be achieved because
The fourth part of this year has almost disappeared and I wonder how many of us have our goals for 2006 written. And I do not just mean our weight loss or fitness goals.
A happy and healthy life is based on balance. To ensure that our lives have the necessary balance, we must think and actually write what our goals are in a range of different titles of aspects of life.
If you have not written your goals for this year, this article should have served as a wake-up call and should have provided you with some ideas to get started.
