Set Monthly Goals.

Members Were Sparked

Write down a list of goals for the month. Target some habit you want to control, and little by little work up to your goal. For example, one month I had a goal of morning workouts. The first week my goal was simply to wake up a half hour early three times a week and take a ten minute walk around the block. Each week, I tweak the goal a little, until I get closer or at where I want to be. I put up a log on my fridge to monitor my progress.

MORE INFORMATION:
For example, I'll get up earlier, workout longer, or do it more times in the week. By the end of the month I've worked up to getting in a 30 minute workout 5x in the week.

I've also worked on getting my calories in range, and watching less TV.

Writing you goals and breaking them down, works!

Set Monthly goals in Micro, Mini, Medium & Major. Blog these at the end of the month for the following month then adjust "other goals" for tracking, accountability & celebrating!! If you are a list person, this works!! Spark Streaks can be set to support each months goals. Micro & Mini goals tend to be the building blocks to medium/major goals. This way you don't get over whelmed or miss steps. You set up your training and prep. My monthly blogs are helping me!! Check them out!

MORE INFORMATION:
Tracking with SP makes it easy to knock of goals, hold yourself accountable and to celebrate victories! Set some rewards, set up your prep, research, tools and equipment needed! This process is working form me.

Goal Setting

Setting a final weight goal is great but it's going to take a long time for some of us to get there. Set daily goals, weekly goals, monthly goals and final goals. They don't all have to be weight related. Any health related goal will help with weight loss because it's hard to stay on track when you don't feel well or you feel overwhelmed by a crazy schedule.464

Set a BIG goal for yourself. That will give you something to look forward to and motivate you to keep exercising and eating healthy.

Make that Big goal a long term goal and set smaller monthly goals. When you reach one of them, then reward yourself.
