Day 2: 2nd of January

Goals 

I thought I would use today's post to set out my goals. I have chosen 4 types of goals which I am going to work towards, update and evolve these through out the coming year. The reason for the different types of goals are to keep me motivated and to keep me on track. 

Very Short Term Goals: Weekly Goals. The aim of these are what my weight loss goal for the week is, time spend doing aerobic exercise, time spend doing strength exercise, keeping food diary within my daily calorie allowance and recording my water intake.

Short term goals: Monthly Goals. The aim of these are to set myself monthly weight loss targets and also inch loss for the month.

Medium term goals: TriMonthly (12 weeks) Goal. The reason for this time frame is that on average it takes 12 weeks to develop a habit, hence these goals are healthy habits which I want to develop. For example exercising daily and recording food and drink intake.

Long term goals: Six Month Goal. This is my long term goals so it means that I set my targets which all the other goals aim to get me to aka losing 1 inch a month from around my waist would give me the 6 inch loss I need for my sisters wedding. Hence, I would start with these goals and then work backwards so each goal leads into one another 

Okay for my first set of goals are as followed.

Long Term Goal (January to June): Loss 6 inches from my chest and waist

Medium Term Goal (January to March): Get into the habitat of exercising daily and recording food/drink/exercise  

Short Term Goal (January):  Goal is to lose 8 - 12 pounds

Very Short Term Goal (5th to 11th of January): Goal to lose 2-4 pounds, spend 7 hours doing aerobic exercise and 2 hours doing strength exercises. 

I understand that these goals especially my medium and long term goals will probably evolve meaning that they will need to be updated however I believe that this is a good starting point and would result in me moving in the right direction.

Now I have my goals my next step I need to take is to create a workout plan for my first week and get myself a food diary so I am able to keep a daily track of what I am eating and drinking and of course exercising.
