How to Think About and Choose the Right Goals for You

Goals, data points and strategies can have lot of overlap.


For example:


  • Goal: be more hydrated

  • Data Point: average oz of hydrate per day

  • Strategy: drink more water or other hydrated beverages

 

Goals should be personal.


  • Person #1: average 6K steps and day

  • Person #2: average 8K steps a day

 

When it comes to weight loss, multiple goals are better than one.


So rather than the single goal to lose weight, consider


  • Lose weight

  • Have more energy

  • Feel better in my clothes

  • Gain confidence in my ability to lose weight and keep it off

 

Goals can and should evolve and change.


The four goals above might change to:


  • See more muscle definition in my body

  • Get better sleep

  • Feel comfortable in a swimsuit

  • Practice consistently

 

Goal ideas


  • Consistently sleep between 7-9 hours a night

  • Drink more water

  • Eat more plants

  • Eat to pleasantly full most of the time and overly full infrequently

  • Engage in any activity I want to without worrying about how I look

  • Exercise more often without it being a struggle for time or motivation

  • Feel better in my clothes

  • Feel fine in a swimsuit

  • Feel more in control of how I spend my time

  • Find a healthy consistency with my eating and my weight (no more yo-yo dieting)

  • Get stronger

  • Have more energy

  • Improve my digestion

  • Improve the appearance of my skin

  • Increase my optimism and confidence about my ability to make changes and lose weight.

  • Keep going even when things get hard and learn how to shift so I can make things easier when needed

  • Let go of the food struggle

  • Lose fat but not muscle

  • Maintain my results with minimal effort or thought

  • Maintain or increase the muscle in my body

  • Move more during the activities I already do

  • Practice consistency

  • Reduce stress

  • Reduce waist circumference

  • Respond to boredom or stress with something other than food most of the time

  • See more muscle definition in my body

  • Stay connected to this group and my other support systems consistently, even when I’m struggling

  • Think less about food and my weight

 

Choose a few goals. Put them somewhere you can see them. And practice strategies to achieve them.
