 As I set my goals for Mission 7 I am using the S.M.A.R.T. system. As a review, this stands for Specific Measureable Attainable Realistic and Time-sensitive. Today we are talking about measureable goals. I have already committed to two goals for Mission 7: Goal #1: I have a body fat percentage of 12% by August 1, 2009 Goal #2: I weigh 205 lbs. by August 1, 2009 These goals are both specific and measureable. They are specific in that they give you exactly what the end point is going to be—12% body fat and 205 lbs. body weight. For a goal to be measureable there has to be some way to track it. In the case of Goals #1 and #2, they are clearly measureable. This leads me to my third goal for Mission 7: Goal #3: I measure 36 inches around my abdominal area by August 1, 2009 Can I measure this? Of course I can! Thus, Goal #3 is a measureable goal. This has lead me to another goal: I will increase the size of my arms and legs. Is this a specific and measureable goal? It is specific because it refers to the arms and legs, but it certainly is not measureable. Thus, I change the goal as follows: Goal #4: I have biceps of 18 inches and quads 28 inches by August 1, 2009 This one is extremely measureable. All I have to do is take my starting circumference measurements and track them weekly and see if I meet the goal. Tomorrow we will discuss attainable goals. Please come back to read that.
