short term goals

[MrsH]

I beleive most people try to make resolution every January (only to fail before January is finished) Many of those resolutions has to do with losing weight and doing more exercise. I used to make resolution like: lose 10 kg, exercise more, stop eating sweets and so on. Never worked. A friend cam up with the idea of making short term goals to achieve the bigger once. It is easier to do '5 push ups every morning for a week' then having a big goal saying you want to be able to do 100 push ups. I loved the idea and have been making small goals every week. This week I am working on:

1. eat 2 pieces of fruit and 1 serve of veggies every day
2. put sunscreen on every morning
3. drink 1 glass of water before every meal
4. do my exercise dvd 3 times during the week.

So far this is working very well for me. It feels good to reach my goals ever week and if I fail something I can always try again next week. Or just change the goal to something else.

What are your long term goals? And do you make short term goals to achieve them?
