Goals help to keep you motivated...they give you something to push for, even when you feel like giving up. In order for goals to really work though they need to be personal, specific, and realistic. Having a general goal such as "looking better" is good but it is not as powerful as having a more personalized goal like "feeling fantastic in sleeveless shirts this summer."
This weekend your homework is to come up with a list of 3 goals. One will be something you want to accomplish this week. The next will be one that you will accomplish this month. The third one will be something you want to accomplish this year.
Remember to keep the goals realistic! For example, a goal for this week could be to add in an extra day at the gym...a goal for this month can be to lose 3 pounds....a goal for this year can be being able to wear the dress of your dreams on New Year's Eve.
When you are done with this list pin it up on your mirror, your fridge, your computer screen, everywhere.Use this list as a daily reminder of what you are working for. Don't forget to note your progress...your accomplishments are also strong motivators that will help keep you on track!
Live Well!

I think that is a great idea. Only problem I see is that if you don't have ongoing weekly goals of putting in that extra day at the gym, you are never achieving your yearly goal of wearing the killer dress to the New Year's Eve party that will drive your ex up the wall and make you feel like his heart is on the floor ready for you to dig your Manolo Blahnik heel into. Therefore, you should also add the goal of being gracious so that when you are confronted with that opportunity, you will take the high road and let him and his pathetic little heart off with just a glimpse of your killer quad through the oh-so-slightly-too-high slit in your killer dress that you were able to wear because of your reasonable and achievable goals. Ha!
