Setting Goals

I believe that the most important first step when you are looking to change your health is not stepping foot in the gym or throwing out everything in your fridge... it's setting attainable goals and visualizing where you want to be.

• Think about your own life and determine what your health goals are.  Here are just a few examples:
• Lose 10% of your body weight
• Eliminate the need for a medication (blood pressure, anti-depressants, blood sugar, etc)
• Increase physical fitness
• Reduce my risk for certain cancers
• Removing processed foods from your diet
• The next step is to make a list of small things that you can do every day that will help you achieve those goals.  These will vary depending on your own goal, your level of fitness, etc.

Planning is an important first step.  I will be doing this myself as I am building the blog up, so it seemed like the most logical place to start for both of us.

Your homework is to set those goals, get a to do list, and then share them with me.

Are you up to the challenge?
