I can answer the six "W"'s. Who is involved: only myself. What do I want to do: lose no more than 10 lbs before tennis season. Where will I do this: At home during dinner and at school during lunch. When will I do this: every time I will eat for 3 weeks. Which: I require healthier alternatives for the food I currently consume. Why: I want to be in better shape for my senior year tennis season.
Measurable: I must establish concrete criteria for measuring my progress (Unit 2 page 5). This is easily done with my goal because my goal is numerically quantifiable. I can see the weight on the scale decrease, which will illustrate my progress.
Attainable: My goal is attainable because I can see myself accomplishing it.
Realistic: A goal must represent an objective toward which you are both willing and able to work. I am very motivated to accomplish my goal, so I am prepared to work for it. Thus making it realistic.
Timely: My time frame is pretty realistic with 3 weeks.
Tangible: A goal is tangible when you can experience it with one of the senses: taste, touch, smell, sight, or hearing. My goal is tangible because I can see my weight decrease on a scale.]]> 2017-02-20 18:04:52 UTC https://padlet.com/chriscodogni/831srhra1zij/wish/154985335 chriscodogni https://padlet.com/chriscodogni/831srhra1zij/wish/154992617 I plan on implementing my goal into my lifestyle by simply eating healthier. I am already very active in my current lifestyle, so I only require to lessen my caloric intake and stay at a caloric deficit. ]]> 2017-02-20 18:48:11 UTC https://padlet.com/chriscodogni/831srhra1zij/wish/154992617 chriscodogni https://padlet.com/chriscodogni/831srhra1zij/wish/154993412 Currently, I am very active. I play tennis 3 times per week, coach tennis 3 times per week, do martial arts twice per week, and go to the gym 3 times per week. This very active lifestyle is healthy, but can also cause increased stress with school work in the mix. My current health status is mildly healthy with a normal BMI. However, I cannot do many push ups or pull-ups and cannot bench press my body weight.]]> 2017-02-20 18:53:08 UTC https://padlet.com/chriscodogni/831srhra1zij/wish/154993412 chriscodogni https://padlet.com/chriscodogni/831srhra1zij/wish/154993870 There are five strategies of goal setting.
It must be on your terms: The most important thing to remember is that these are your goals (Unit 2 page 12). This is important to note because it can motivate you to know that you don't need to think what anybody else thinks about your diet. For example, if my friends mess with me for eating healthy, I can simply not care and realize that it is on my terms.
Connect goals to the ultimate currency: happiness: Your happiness must be on your terms. There are 3 facets to happiness, high emotions, actions that make time stand still, and finding meaning in life. Since I find happiness and meaning in being healthy (physically and spiritually), finding happiness is easy for me.
Frame your life: One of the first things you want to do is frame your life. Think through a simple list of life priorities, which might include things like family, friends, faith, etc (Unit 2 page 13). When I frame my life, I see that going on this diet does not impact any of my priorities like family and friend relationships.
Dream big, but start small: Success is never in one huge leap, so having many steps in your plan is necessary. For example, I should try to lose 3 pounds the first week, 3 the second, and 4 the last week.
Take stock along the way: I must make sure that my goal does not hurt my life and make me more anxious

I need food with better nutritional value to replace the food I currently consume. There is always a health risk with losing a lot of weight in a relatively short amount of time, but since I've done this many times I don't think I have anything to fear.]]> 2017-02-20 19:05:34 UTC https://padlet.com/chriscodogni/831srhra1zij/wish/154995409 chriscodogni https://padlet.com/chriscodogni/831srhra1zij/wish/154995686 My healthy lifestyle does not need to stop once I reach my 10 pound goal. I can continue eating healthy and continue staying active.]]> 2017-02-20 19:07:12 UTC https://padlet.com/chriscodogni/831srhra1zij/wish/154995686
