I even created a handout for the class, but I'm not that person any more.<br /><br />I'm not doing goalsetting any more. I'm just going with the flow of the word "buff".

You can't really measure "get into shape" -- it's too nebulous and not specific enough. You can, however, measure something like "be able to run 30 minutes without stopping" or "be able to pench press 50 pounds." Putting a goal into the narrative form like this guy suggests is one way of making it more measurable.<br /><br />The acronym we're supposed to use at work when setting goals is "SMART." Goals should be:<br />- <b>S</b>pecific<br />- <b>M</b>easurable<br />- <b>A</b>chievable<br />- <b>R</b>ealistic<br />- <b>T</b>ime-framedJaimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04593992898591092536noreply@blogger.com
