Be SMART

In our quest for losing weight and staying healthy, its important to set a SMART goal and devise strategies for working towards it....... this goal should be realistic and achievable.

SMART goal needs to fit every letter of the acronym:
Specific: Not "lose weight," but "lose a pound a week for the next six weeks."
Measurable: Not just "walk more" but "walk for 30 minutes every day."
Attainable: Losing 20 lbs in one week IS NOT!
Relevant: The results need to be rewarding to you.
Time-based: Not just saying, "I must stop having dessert," or "I must quit smoking," - there has to be a specific day, as in "today."

Now that you have set your goal, figure out how you'll make it happen.......remember its the little steps that will get you there.
