Commitment to Physical Activity

Jade Villasin‍ I love the way you wrote this goal.  It seems very specific, with small steps to make it achievable!  How are you doing with this?  The holidays always make healthy eating a challenge!

SMART goal setting helps you gear your ideas in the right direction. To help myself exercise better by utilizing the tool I will do the following. S is for specific goal so my specific goal would to be get at least 30 minutes of exercise 3 days out of the week. M is for measurable so to measure my goal I will use my fit bit to help me log my activity and reflect on my goals. A is for attainable so to attain these goals I will only shoot for 3 days out of the week, and not the recommended 5. This would be more realistic for me, as I said I have not exercised in quite some time. R is for realistic so to be realistic about my exercise, I can exercise on my eliptical. I purchased one and used it only a few times. I believe this will help me reach my goal more realistically rather than walking my dog which is a lot of stopping and going. Lastly T is for time oriented so I will make my goal to reach until the end of January. Nothing says good motivation but trying to start the new year off great!
