“Are your goals specific and positive?  Rather than vowing ‘to exercise’ for example, reword each goal so it is clear and measureable.  I will walk 30 minutes every day.  I will complete a 5K race.  I will do a yoga DVD twice a week.’’

As a coach, I am constantly stressing how important measurable and specific goals are important to track progress and success.  Creating the number of calories needed to burn daily, weekly monthly etc let me know exactly what I need to do to reach my goal this year.  In case you are interested the number is 514,650 calories burned in 2010 to reach my goal.  And I am excited by that because I have a target to shoot for.

I have set goals so many times and ended up surprised (not really) I did not achieve them.  In reality I did not want to look at what I needed to do and stuck my head in the sand or the quesadilla which ever was closest.   So while that sounds like a lot of calories (more than one half million) it is a number and I have the power and total control to reach it or not.

Now going from the macro to the micro since the micro is where we are in any given moment here are my goals for today.

Today’s Plan

Consume no more than 1550 calories.

Do Power 90 Cardio I/II and log into WOWY

Walk on the beach for 30 minutes at 3 PM this afternoon

Manually determine how many calories I have left to burn to get to 1410 (GoWear Fit not working today)

Before bed do either the treadmill until I reach 1410.

Ok now that is a plan which is clearly defined and I am going to do it.
