 Today we continue our trip down goal setting lane. As a review, we are using the S.M.A.R.T. goal setting system. S.M.A.R.T. stands for Specific Measureable Attainable Realistic Time-sensitive. Today we discuss realistic goals. As I plan for M7 I have decided to focus on 5 goals that are important to me: Goal #1: I have a body fat percentage of 12% by August 1, 2009 Goal #2: I weigh 205 lbs. by August 1, 2009 Goal #3: I measure 36 inches around my abdominal area by August 1, 2009 Goal #4: I have biceps of 18 inches and quads of 28 inches by August 1, 2009 Goal #5: I run a mile in 7:30 by August 1, 2009 Each of these goals is extremely realistic. In order to be realistic, a goal must represent something you are willing and able to work towards. Goals need to represent substantial progress. The goal to run a mile in 7:30 is an improvement of 17% and I think that is pretty dramatic for someone that isn’t a runner. The body fat percentage goal represents a reduction of about 20%. The scale weight goal is 20 lbs. Each goal is realistic because I want each and every one of them to happen, so I will be working hard to make them happen. Tomorrow we will discuss making goals time-sensitive. Related articles: M6  81 (D559) S.M.A.R.T. Goals: Specific M6 82 (D560) S.M.A.R.T. Goals: Measureable M6 83 (D561) S.M.A.R.T.
