Goals....Set Yourself Up for Success....NOT Failure..

When we set goals for ourselves, we tend reach for the stars.  Many of us set ambitious goals with every intention of staying on track.  Unfortunately, many times we end up setting ourselves up for failure rather then success.  For example...exercise.  Many people set ambitious goals to get fit.  "I'm going to workout for 90 minutes a day, six days per week for the next year!"   That sounds great, and if that sticks, the results will be fabulous.  However, if you go from never working out a day in your life, to setting an unrealistic goal for yourself, then you may be very disappointed.  My recommendation....if you are going to set a goal to run a half marathon...then set it a year in advance...work SLOWLY toward you goal.  If you want to get fit and never have worked out before....set a goal for the first week to exercise 2 days that week, add a day the next week, add another day the next week, etc....  Try these little tips and you will be well on your way to fitness success!  Remember, if you fall off the fitness wagon...don't get down on yourself.  Brush yourself off and start again!  Enjoy the journey!
