Task 3: Set your goals

Goal setting is hard for me, I don't have much faith in goals.  It feels like I always make them and hardly ever actually follow through with them.  This time it has to be different.  I am accountable for these goals and I am making a commitment to reaching them all...  I have a really good reason to this time!

1 Month goals:
  • run for 5 minutes
  • follow the healthy eating plan to the letter
  • cut out diet coke/pepsi max - already done!!!
I am gonna get there by:
  • short jogs, intervals - build up time
  • diarise, blog tweet everything. own my choices and my behaviour 
  • drink tea, increase water intake

3 Month goals:
  • Lose at least 10kg - would like to lose about 15kg by the end of the 12 week challenge and 20kg by the end of the year
  • Run for 15 minutes non stop - push myself and get as fit as I can!
 I am gonna get there by:
  • Not giving up when I face hurdles or if I trip up - perservere!
  • Eatting well and clean
  • Commit fully to the exercise program, exercise 6 days a week
My goals are going to take a bit of a curve from here, as I am undergoing IVF treatment in January so that I can try and have a baby.  So this is going to change my goals and focus from then on.  I want to get fit enough so that I can continue to exercise while pregnant, and hopefully the new habits I form will continue into pregnancy (if treatment etc works).  If IVF fails I will then need to re-evaluate my goals and continue on my weight loss journey.  Health is going to continue to be a long term goal no matter what the outcome is!
