pre-holiday goal setting

Set some compelling training and fitness goals before the holidays.

Don't wait until January 1st to set your goals just because you think
it will be harder to achieve them over the holidays. On the contrary,
studies have shown that you'll reach 80% of the goals you put onto
paper. The problem is that few people set any goals at all, and fewer
still set them before and during the holidays.

Why wait? Why not do it now? Set some big goals that you can start
working on before the holidays:

Set a goal to lose the 10 lbs you've always wanted to lose, NOW.

Set the goal to be able to gain 5 pounds of lean, fat-burning muscle, or
lose 3 inches off your waist, NOW.

Have you always wanted to do a triathlon or run a 10K race or marathon. Pick an
early spring race and GO FOR IT - START TRAINING NOW! Maybe you are planning a winter holiday and need to firm up for the beach!

Goal setting should not be a once a year affair, it should be a continuous
process. You should always have your goals in writing and your list should
be regularly updated and rewritten. If you only set goals once a year,
you'll never get around to accomplishing much.

So don't be lazy....be lean!
