Not Just A Diet

Goals?

With the program I'm doing, Run Your Butt Off!, I'm supposed to set 5 goals. I have some written down, I just feel like they may not be realistic or challenging enough. I don't know, any suggestions?

Here's the one's I came up with:

lose 12 lbs by phase 7 (or 2lbs a week)
drop a pant size
eat 1200 calories in a day
plan meals for 5 days out of the week
no candy
only eat out once a week
work out at least 5 days a week

@ 8:43pm ET on July 29, 2012 I think those are awesome goals! You maybe could have some goals that focused on your outlook on your life or something. I know you had a blog talking about irritation. Maybe you could have a goal about trying to get through that.

@ 10:07pm ET on July 29, 2012 Yes. Setting goals to obtain a victory in something worth striving towards is with it int he long run�. For long turn "lifestyle" improvement success, perhaps setting other goals that can be "repeated for life" would be good as well. Simple things. For example:
- park further away from work or school to make the body walk more,
- for 3 floors or less, walk the stairs instead of taking the elevator,
- while brushing one's teeth do 75 raised calves (standing on your tippy toes and down again) while brushing one's teeth before bed,
- do 10+ laps in the public pool every other weekend.
- Alway walk or jump (like jump rope or jogging or mini-trampoline) after large plate dinner time. Thus, helping its digestion system as well.

On the food side, how about
- no more Breaded meats / breaded fish,
- no more fries or potatoes,
- more more thick sauces on the salad,
- only veggies on one's burger or hotdog (with NO sauces).
- For hamburgers, pick whole wheat bread. And if possible, pick smaller size. When it comes to food, larger is NOT better.
- Have unbreaded fish (like Tuna, Salmon, shrimp, etc.) 3 times each week.
- NO more coke / pepsi. Not even that diet stuff.
- Have more fresh (or 2nd choice frozen) veggies. Closer to nature the better.
- Have more north of North America Fruits - like apples, berries, etc.

Perhaps you can apply some of these lifestyle changes as well.
