We recognize that sometimes you know where you want to end up, but it’s still hard to come up with the specific steps that will help to get you there! We’re always looking for ways to encourage you on your PowerSheets journeys, so we’ve identified some broad categories of goals that are popular in the PowerSheets community and brainstormed a list of potential monthly, weekly, and daily goals to help you get the creative juices flowing. Today, we’re back with a continuation of our goal guide series!
This is the natural companion to our first fitness goal guide: nutrition goals! I find that planning and checking off work-outs is often a bit more accessible than finding effective ways to improve my diet. In fact, meal planning may take a bit more forethought. But with these ideas and some of your own, we know you can make little by little progress on your nutrition goals!
