FORMING A PLAN

Prompt
Formulate an effective long term personal health plan for yourself or someone you know personally. Be specific.

THE GOAL

CURRENT PROBLEMS

• I give up easily
• I don't stick to a schedule
• I am a morning person so I work out around 4 a.m. Before I got to school which leaves me tired and sleepy.
• I have a sweet tooth

The Plan
My current goal is to lose weight and I need to remember to "set goals that are specific" (Section 2.4 page 10). The plan is to lose 1-2 pounds per week through a mix of exercising and dieting.

STRATEGIES

• Exercise in the gym for about half an hour at least 4 days per week.
• "Dream big but start small."(Section 2.4 page 12)
• I like swimming a lot and because I need to be "happy in life" and "have some fun along the way" (Section 2.4 Page 12) I will replace exercising some days with swimming.
• I will cut down on carbs meaning no pasta and rice for me

MONITORING PROGRESS

• Weekly/ bimonthly check ins to ensure that I am losing the amount I want at a steady and safe pace
• Test out if I feel healthier or more energetic than before.
• How long can I last before feeling winded while working out.
