3. My Smart Goal Challenge
• S- For my smart goal I will be going and lifting weights at the gym, at
least 3 times per week.
• M- I will keep track of how many times I go to the gym, by keeping a
journal with the days of the week in it. For every day I go to the gym, I
will mark it in my journal along with what exercises I did that day.
• A- I find this goal very attainable for me. I always motivate myself to go
to the gym weekly. I feel that even though my goal is only 3 times a
week, I will be going more days than that. Having my goal set at three
times per week motivates me to go more times to the gym per week.
• R- My goal is very realistic for me. Like I previously stated, I already go
to the gym every week. By having the back drop of going 3 days a week I
can set myself up for going more times a week or at least my goal of 3.
• T- My goal is going to be a more constant goal rather than being
finished in a short amount of time. Even after my first semester of this
year, I would like to keep my gym sessions going all the way through
winter break and second semester.
4. How to attain my goal
• My friends are my biggest influence on me to attain my goal.
All my friends go to the gym daily and this motivates myself to
be active and eat healthy.
• I have free access to the gym in the HUB on campus. This
allows me to use the necessary equipment I need to achieve
my goal cost free and travel free.
• I am willing to dedicate a great portion of my week to attain
my goal. I severely want to stay healthy and be physically fit.
My health is very important to me.
• I live in my own house on campus without the schools meal
plan. I now have the opportunity to buy my own healthy
foods. If I don’t buy fattening food it wont be in my house for
me to eat it.

6. Did I succeed?
• I think I did better than I expected to do on this assignment. I
set my goal on only coming to the gym 3 times per-week but
that escalated in me going even more times per-week.
Knowing that I had a goal that I really wanted to reach gave
me extra motivation to go to the gym. I ended up wanting to
go more often and totally exceeded what I set out to do. In all
this Goal was a great success.
• I believe this assignment as a whole has changed my work out
pattern for the best. Since we have accomplished this goal and
have moved on with our other assignment I still go to the gym
3 or more times a week.
