SMART GOALS 2
Lose 20 Pounds
Specific
I would like to lose 20 pounds through the increase in exercises to be conducted every
morning and evening for two months while cutting down on consumption of fatty and sugary
food. I would focus on the specific aspects as I have over time neglected the core aspects that I
used previously in maintaining and reducing my weight.
Measurable
In making my goals measurable, I shall focus on weekly weighing on the weight and
record the loss experienced in each week. In between, I would convert this to ascertain the
pounds lost and measure them against the target set for each week. At the same time, I would
detect the reduction through observing my ability to do tasks which I previously felt tired and
unable to carry out. Besides, I would measure the distance I cover on the first day and the last
day of the week to ascertain the level of improvement which would determine the rate of
achievement of the goal (Werle Lee, 2010). I will then keep a log of all the measurement details
and the improvement level therein.
Attainable
Over time, I have suffered the consequences of increased weight ranging from ridicule,
inability to perform some exercises, and several warnings from the doctor. As a result, the facts
have led to the self-assessment and determination to attain the set goals and work hard towards
reducing the negativities involved. The goal shall further assist me join my desired sport
“Basketball” which requires vigorous exercise hence perceive the exercise as a preparation
ground to attaining my dream game. Above all, improvement of my personal health and a sense
of control over my body is my greatest motivation towards attaining the goal (Conzemius &

O'Neill, 2009). I have set sufficient funds for the program thus feel prepared enough to see it
through to success.
Relevant
Attaining my goal is quite relevant to my well-being and granting me the permission to
join my dream team in the basketball club. Since it’s a personal decision, I feel compelled by self
to attain it for personal good (Conzemius & O'Neill, 2009). The time remains ripe for the cut in
weight as it would allow me join the team in the coming season set to begin in three months. At
the same time, the present financial, political, and social environment supports my activity thus a
success.
Time-Bound
I am set to begin on the 10th of this month and record daily proceedings and have
established a proposed weekly and monthly target. Today, I take my time to ensure all I need is
in place as I wait to begin the practice officially.
