End of the Month Goal Check!

It’s the last day of January and it’s time to look back at the month behind us. I think it’s important that we take a day to self-assess where we are and where we’re going. We do it at the end of every year, but rather than wait till December 31, 2006 to see how our goals are going, we’re better off taking a moment to check out where we are right now.

Goal

· How are your goals going?

· Have you started working towards achieving them?

· Are you encountering obstacles in your path?
·
What are the obstacles?
·
Are you discouraged or are you challenged?

· Are you still striving towards your goals?

· Have you made it to the mileposts along the road to your final destination?
·
What is preventing you if you aren’t?

· Are you feeling good?

· Are you feeling bad?

· If there is one thing you could do right now to improve all of the above, identify it.

· What are your goals for February?
·
What is your game plan?
·
Where will you be in 28 days?

Consider all of the above questions and answer them honestly. There’s nothing wrong with admitting that you have been lax in some areas and harder in others. Goal checking lets us take a progress report. We get to see where we are and where we need to be. If you decide that your goals need modification, go for it. There’s no law that says you can’t alter your goals.

In fact, you may have set a fitness goal like many do at the beginning of the year. If you feel like you’ve done little or nothing to accomplish that goal, take the first step back towards it and forgive your lack of forward progress. Don’t beat yourself up with regrets. What’s done is done. You can’t change yesterday, but you can make tomorrow happen.

Take a moment and contemplate your goals for February and let’s get this party kickin’ as we head into the month of the Winter Olympics in Torino and Valentine’s Day. We’re going to tackle a lot in the month of February including:

· Becoming Your Own Personal Trainer
· Developing Game Plans for Fitness
· Progress Reports
· Making Fitness a Habit
· Working out with Baby
· Fitness and Pregnancy
· Fertility and Fitness
· Financial Concerns and Fitness
· And much, much more.

Have a great rest of the day and remember – you do deserve it.
