Period: to
Growing Stronger
When setting an effective long-term health plan for myself, I want to give myself time to grow stronger. I want to exercise more and feel weigh a specific weight by the end of spring break, when track season officially starts. "When tackled correctly, they force you out of your comfort zone and help you to grow more than you would without them." (Page 11). I hope by March 27th, 2017, I'll be as strong and weigh my goal. -

To start, I'll make sure to convince myself everything I'm doing is for myself. I know I love exercising and working out, but I know I'm not that big of a fan of diets and always eating healthy. By this day I want to focus completely on my diet and exercise (along with schoolwork, etc.). "More importantly, we want to do what we love by focusing on things that mean a lot to us with people we want to be around." (Page 12) -

By February 14th, I want to make sure I have my diet in check. Make sure I watch and limit everything I eat, and make sure I'm getting enough exercise. 2 weeks in, I'll make sure I'm not overdoing anything. "Goals should be seen more as the critical steps we take on the path to our dreams." (Page 13). I'll still give myself a day off or a cheat day or something just so I'm not jumping right into the new lifestyle. -

A month later, I want to be 100% dedicated to this diet. Eating healthy, exercising daily, etc. I want to make sure I've had enough time to get used to everything, and that I'm succeeding. "The greatest breeder of success is success." (Page 13). -

The last day, the day the season starts. I want to be at my goal weight, my diet is fit to perfection, and I am strong and fit.
