My Goals

Step 1 - Desire

I would like to improve my body compostion.

Step 2 - Belief

I can improve my body composition by eating healthy foods and excercising.

Step 3 - Analyze Where You Are Now

I weigh 135 pounds and I would like to weigh at least 120 pounds.

Step 4 - Set Realistic Goals

My ultimate goal is to lose 15 pounds.

Step 5 - Write Your Goals in Detail

I can try to lose about two pounds each week and it should take me about eight weeks to lose fifteen pounds.

Step 6 - List the Benefits You Will Receive

Losing fifteen pounds will help me feel better as well as look better and give me more energy.

Step 7 - Identify Obstacles

Obstacles would include eating junk food or fast food. Since I work at a fast food place, it is more of a struggle. Also hot weather would make it more of a struggle to do things like jogging or riding a bike because it would be too hot.

Step 8 - Identify Knowledge You Will Need

I can research healthy and tasty foods that I can eat. Excersing tips may help and I can also research many diet plans and diet programs that can benefit me.

Step 9 - Make a Plan of Action

Each week for breakfast I can eat something simple like fruit instead of eating at a fast food place. For lunch I can eat a salad or a sandwich. For my snack, instead of eating junk food, I can eat something healthier like granola bars or more fruit or maybe crackers. I can also go running on Saturday mornings since I will be out of school. I plan to lose two pounds per week and I will want to accomplish at least fifteen pounds in eight weeks.

Step 10 - Develop a Timeline

It will take me at least eight weeks if I lose two pounds per week and a total of fifteen pounds lost in two months.

Step 11 - Monitor Your Progress

Step 12 - Never Give Up

My family will help me stay motivated to succeed. I could do things such as take a break from my jo so I won't be as tempted to eat fast foods. Once the summer begins, I will have more mornings during the week to go running or riding a bike.
