Back in February I set down a list of goals and achievements I wanted by the end of the year and as the main flurry of training courses has now subsided I thought it would be useful to revisit it and assess what I have done and what is still under construction!
So starting with the academic stuff
- Pass my L2 PT accreditation exams – PASSED
- Pass my L3 PT exams - PASSED
- Complete my NLP Practitioner course – PASSED
- Complete marketing and branding for new business – DONE
- Develop website - DONE
- Start actually seeing clients – DONE
- Develop NLP therapy business as a complement to PT – UNDERWAY
- Complete NLP Master Practitioner course – NOW PLANNED FOR 2013
- Develop my own coaching and training materials for NLP courses – CANT DO UNTIL AFTER MASTER PRAC COURSE 2013
Well, I know it’s not a complete clean sweep but all in all that’s a pretty good set of achievements in just three months, something I would do as well to remember, life has been very hectic but just look at how much I have done! I am really proud of myself and how much I have accomplished but now its time to put the same degree of determination into my training and eating plan and to get the same degree of outstanding results!
Reviewing my fitness goals from February, its clear that although I have been in a plateau as far as weight and BFP is concerned, my shape has changed again meaning that at least two of my goals from back then I have already achieved. So, although I have made real progress academically I still have a way to go with fitness goals and its now time to focus on them and apply the same amount of commitment to getting things not just right, but perfect. So in the spirit of grabbing hold of life and reaching ones potential, the new plan starts today!
Time to clean the diet up, get tough on the carbs and get back to training all out four times a week – and if that doesn’t make a change to my body, weight and body fat percentage I don’t know what will!
Like this:
Goals, goals and more goals!

Following my Homer Simpson light bulb moment last week I have been doing some serious thought about what my fitness or gym based goals should be. I seem to have given myself a whole load of other goals that I am happy with even though I know the workload will be intense, I also know that the sense of achievement as I tick each one off will be worth it;
- Pass my L2 PT accreditation exams
- Pass my L3 PT exams
- Complete my NLP Practitioner course
- Complete marketing and branding for new business
- Develop website with on-line library or resources for clients
- Start actually seeing clients
- Develop NLP therapy business as a complement to PT
- Complete NLP Master Practitioner course
- Develop my own coaching and training materials for NLP courses
So, given that I already have my hands full why on earth do I need to give myself the added pressure of developing another set of goals as well? Well, as a self-confessed introvert (see my post entitled Are you an introvert or and extrovert?) I am results driven and goal oriented – what makes me happy is seeing results, achieving things and given the level of dissatisfaction I have despite how much I have achieved this year, being clearer on what I really want can only a good thing!
In that case, what do I REALLY REALLY want to have achieved in fitness and/or weight loss in 12 months time – what is the real honest answer to that one? What would make me happy? What would make me proud and satisfied at my accomplishments?
