SMART Goals for Reducing Body Fat

Norma Magana sets body composition goals to reduce body fat over time. Her original goals were general like cooking at home more days per week. She later made her goals more specific by detailing the types of healthy foods she would cook and track her meals. Her attainable goal was to shop weekly for specific ingredients. Her realistic goal was to exercise 4-6 times per week for longer durations. Over time, she learned to set more detailed and appropriate calorie reduction goals. Making and accomplishing goals requires discipline, effort and time but becomes a habit. Setting goals is important for success in life.

My smart goals change over time. They went from general goals to more specific goals.

For example, at the beginning I said that I was going to cook for certain days without specifying

what kind of food. The difficulties to accomplish cooking was finding times to cook and finding

motivation to do it. At the same time, I was increasing exercise days and the time for my

workouts. I also found out that the calories that I set from the start that I was consuming were not

adequate for my weight and height, so I had to adjust. I learned that making goals is not easy and

accomplishing them is harder because you need discipline, hard work, and time, but once I start

it, it becomes a habit. I believe that setting goals is something that we all should do in order to be

successful in everything we set out to do in life.
