Goals

Goals and setting goals. This is a good place to start when looking at weight loss. First look at where you are right now and the reason you want to change. Any one that is saying you will lose 20 pounds in 2 weeks, take the name of their product and do a google with the word review, scam or blog after it and you will get a better idea of what the product really has to offer. Most of these products only offer money loss. Your money to their pocket.
A good start of a goal is not so much to lose 10 pounds but to change a behavior 80% of the time and the weight loss should follow. I am looking at where I am right now and where I fill I am willing to change is with working out. Will I say that I will workout 7 days a week? No it is unrealistic. I am going to set my goals as follows:
1. work out 3 days a week.
2. journal what I eat 6 days a week.
3. stop drinking coffee at noon.
4. Go to bed at night by 11:00
Now, I want to look at what may happen when I achieve these goals.
My wish list we will call it.
This would be the outcome of my behavior changes.
1. lose 2 pounds a week.
If the 2 pounds happen then I look at it as good and keep it up. If not and weight does not go down then I have to look at where I can change things to adjust for the desired outcome.
Goals are not achieved through wishing. It takes a lot of hard work. If you are willing to do the work I know you will meet you weight loss goals.
