“A goal is not always meant to be reached; it
often serves simply as something to aim at." Goals are the result or
achievement toward which effort is directed to. One of my many goals in the
near future is to exercise and be healthier by summer of 2012. When I was
younger I was shorter and overweight, and then when I got into high school my
body decided to grow in height 1,000 inches figuratively speaking. So I got
skinnier when I grew but I still had fat left over and I just felt instead of
having fat make it muscle. All goals have methods of accomplishments,
importance, and challenges.
Most people in time think they can just cruise
without having any major goals. Things that truly worth accomplishing, you need
to analyze what you need to do to get there from start to end. I have thought
about what I have to do to reach my goal. I’ve spoken to family members about
what they do to better themselves whether it’s exercising or being on hardcore
diet. People go on hardcore diets and stop eating anything and they faint. That
is because they don’t know what they should eat or not so they don’t eat
anything. I decided sometime that I will speak my doctor or nutritionist about
what is good and not good to put in my body during my diet. Also a very
important factor to me exercising is, I need a gym to exercise at. I will find
one around where I live and see if they have trainers to speak to and ask what
will help me lose weight and gaining muscle in the right areas, which is
important.
The Importance of
my goal of exercising and being healthier is a very important goal for me to
reach for many reasons. The risk of not eating healthy can lead to heart
disease, osteoporosis, type-2 diabetes, high blood pressure and some cancers.
In my family line we have a history of high blood pressure, asthma, and
diabetes. Those health problems are due to poor eating habits, and lack of
exercising. Learning from experience eating poorly and lack of exercise stops
you from being able to run without losing breath, walking for long periods of
time, and being active with children. I told myself this could not be me
because I want to be able to run and walk for a long period of time. I want to
be able to be active whether it’s with my little cousins, brother, and even my
own kids in the future.
After the
importance of a goal come the challenges. A goal wouldn’t be if there were no
challenges. Everyone faces them because no goal is easy. If goals were easy I
would be a billionaire and more. Challenges that I face trying to exercise and
be healthier are not major. Laziness is one important factor of a goal to
overcome for me. I get told a lot that I’m lazy but it’s the truth; I can never
disagree on that. If I try to exercise for a full month I can do it for a week.
Exercise comes with healthy eating and I would eat chips or, some kind of junk
food and I’ll feel like I messed up everything and quit. Stress
and being overwhelmed are also factors of challenges. I being so overwhelmed is rough because I can
be so caught up in school or work and I’ll lose track in my habit of exercising
every day, so that’s where I get organized and plan things out. Stress comes in
a big way also. Stress in my world is like the world is falling apart. Stress
can be about anything home, money, school, work, and life in general.
Therefore,
one of my many goals in the near future is to exercise and be healthier by
summer of 2012 will be accomplished if not before summer shortly after. According
to an article by Megan Gressor, ‘’when trying to lose weight, believing in your
goals and having a positive attitude can be as important as improving your diet
and being active. If you have a plan to keep yourself motivated while you're
losing weight, you stand a better chance of succeeding.’’ This goal will be
accomplished by me being positive and organizing myself with a planner telling
me when it’s time for school work and when it’s time to hit the gym.
