Some ideas for goal setting

Specific goals can be easy or challenging... here's some suggestions for weekly (or daily) goals

  • drink 8 glasses of water a day, every day this week
  • get active for 30-90 minutes 4 times this week
  • check out the canada food guide:
  • http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/fn-an/food-guide-aliment/basics-base/index-eng.php
  • eat more ____ servings of _______ (fruit, vegetables)
  • go 1 day without drinking poplimit myself to ___ cups/glass of _____ (coffee, tea, caffeinated beverage, beer, wine, spirits)
  • look into/get/use a gym membership
  • make an appointment with a personal trainer
  • make an appointment with a friend to go for a run/hike/walk
  • go for a massage (stress release is important for health and taking time for yourself is good for health!)
  • try a new (healthy!) recipe:

  • http://allrecipes.com/Recipes/Healthy-Cooking/Main.aspx
  • http://www.cookingnook.com/healthy-recipes.html
  • http://www.foodfit.com/
  • try a new piece of equipment at the gym
  • try a yoga class
  • go skiing
  • take the dog for a run
  • go for a walk while the kids are at ______ (school, practice, lesson)
  • turn off the tv for a night
  • invite friends over for a healthy home-made dinner (or make it a potluck and everyone bring their favourite healthy dish)
  • lose 0-2 pounds

This is just to start you off with some ideas. I would love to hear from YOU! What are some ideas you have? There is no right or wrong.

To good health and fitness in 2009,
Amanda
