Set Realistic Goals
Do not set your self up by trying to be perfect!!! Just focus on increasing your healthy behaviors a little bit at a time. If you can't run a 5K yet that is just fine but make it a habit to walk about 15 minutes a day, then add time, distance and intensity as you get better and better. Before you know it.... a 5K will be a piece of cake!!!!!!!!
SETTING UNREALISTIC GOALS
Don't be walkin' into the gym with some "I'm gonna lose 50 lbs. by next
week" mentality. You gotta get real!! Our dad always told us to remember the 3 T's: Things Take Time. Slow and steady always wins the race.

So set SMART goals -- Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and
Time-bound. Instead of saying "I will lose weight" you will write down "I will lose 5 pounds in the next 4 weeks through daily exercise and clean eating." See how much different that is?

It will help you actually stick to your plan of action. Don't be that person who makes unrealistic goals to "lose weight rapidly," then fall off the wagon when you don't see your results overnight.
By making specific, measurable goals you can set yourself up for slow, steady success. Take out a piece of paper and write out 5 SMART goals you have right now and a date by which you plan to achieve each one.
