FRIDAY THE 13TH!!!! GOAL -VERHAUL!

Four months after your vague New Years Resolution to lose weight, so where are you right about now? By now, according to the stats - more than 60% of us have already bailed and given up on our goals.  Don't be a statistic! Overhaul your original goal and make it SMART : specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely.  Success strategy: Get specific.  Here is how a new SMART goal would be: "I will lose 10 pounds(or whatever your number is)  by summer by eating clean for all my meals, doing my strength training 2x a week and cardio training monday through friday regularly, and aiming to lose a pound a week before my vacation to Hawaii". This gives you a much better road map to follow and smaller, daily goals to reach in order to achieve your ultimate goal.  Write down your new SMART goal on paper and hang it where you can see it everyday or have your smartphone send you a reminder.  It needs to get the fire going under your butt!!!! almost literally! Remember, the difference between success and failure is just one word in my book 99% of the time....CONSISTENCY!
