GOING FOR THE GOLD


"I DON’T GET IT," Ted complained.  “I am such a goal oriented person and yet I can’t seem to lose weight!  I put myself on a diet, it lasts for a week, maybe two – and boom!  I am done!  Oh, man it is sooo frustrating!”

Interesting, right?  And of course we’ve all been there with most long-term goals – and in those three little words is perhaps the answer…

What do you think of when you say ‘goal’?  Something very concrete – and let’s face it, pretty immediate, right?

So, Bill gets on his diet and each day checks in with how he’s doing – 2 or 3 pounds – no problem - 20 or 30… Yikes!

Our tolerance for super slow is super bad.  We are all part of now.  A year to reach a goal?  Puhleze!  The scale mocks us and we don’t see fast results in the gym… muscle mass… yeah, sure…                                                                                                                        

We are the gold star kids – and we ain’t getting any stars!   

So, how do we keep going to reach those long range goals? 

Any ideas to share?
