Keep it simple, keep it attainable, keep it measurable

Quit setting the Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG) unless you are prepared to make a severe adjustment to your daily life.  How about this as a goal: “Replace 2 desserts per week with fresh fruit” verses “Eliminate Desserts.”  Simple, attainable and measurable.   This is true with all of your wellness initiatives.  It is not always about the scope and size, it is about consistency and outcomes.
