Goal #20: Develop A Plan For Each Goal

Goal #20 on my 31 Before 31 list was to develop a plan for each goal. You may say that’s an obvious step to goal achievement, but it’s a step that was missing in the previous six iterations of my lists. I copied this from a Word document, and don’t want to mess with the HTML to get the numbers to match up correctly for each goal, so every goal from ‘Fitness’ on is misnumbered. This probably only bothers me.

Health

1. Less Than 500 ‘Strikes’ (Junk Food = 1, Healthy Fast Food = 1/2)
   -9 per week
   -Start at 10 per week, subtract 1 serving every 3 weeks down to 5 per week
   -Strikes don’t count during exercise > 1 hour
   -Will need to plan ahead when traveling to avoid excessive strikes.
2. 1500 Servings Vegetables
   -Appx 28 servings/week = apx. 4/day
   -Large Bowl of Salad = 4, Lunch
   -Roasted Cauliflower, broccoli, or kale = 5, Dinner
   -Morning Vegetables?
3. 1000 Servings Fruit
   -One fruit smoothie = 5 (3 blueberries, 1 strawberry, 1 pineapple), lunch or dinner, or both!
   -Use fruit to quell sugar cravings
