-
Graduate from this course (hopefully with
honors) – I made a lot of changes to be able to take this course and I want to
make it worth it. It will be the first time I’ve ever had honors in a course I
took so it would mean a lot. If I don’t get honors, it won’t be the end of the
world.
-
Lose 50 pounds – for my health and because
nobody wants an overweight trainer. If I do it I will be much healthier and be
able to do even more things/activities.
If I don’t it means I will become more limited to the things I can do
and I will continue to see more things fall apart on my body.
-
Gain more clients – so I can help other people
change their lives and not be “afraid” of fitness. If I do this it means I’ll
be helping to make people healthier and happier in their lives and perhaps live
longer. If I can’t gain more clients
right away, I’ll have to keep thinking of creative ways to market to get my
word/name out there. It would be
heartbreaking to me if I can’t make a career out of helping others change their
lives.
-
Build a more professional webpage – To help get
my name out there. It will mean perhaps getting more clients. If not, it will help me inform the clients I
already have of things that are going on it my life (fitness) and anything
that’s coming up.
-
Register myself as a business – It looks more
professional if I have a business name to back my personal training. I think having a business name will help
increase my clientele, make me seem more professional. If I don’t get a registered business, I’ll
continue on the way I am.

-
Gain more clients – If I can gain more clients I
can help them change their lives. This is very important to me as I want
everyone to know they can do it. If for
some reason, I can’t I’ll have to keep trying.
-
Get my body to 20-25% body fat – it’ll mean that
I’m a healthier version of myself. It
will also help me better be able to get my clients to that level as well. If I can’t get there I won’t give up, I’ll
just keep finding different ways to do it.
-
Get my ACSM and CCEP Certifications – I chose
this because the more credentials I can get the better it’ll look and the more
tools I’ll have to help others. It will
be personally satisfying for myself to reach this goal. ACSM was the first
certification I attempted but I gave up while studying, it was too difficult
for me at the time. If I don’t get it the first time, I’ll study harder and try
again and again until I get it.
-
Do more public speaking about my weight loss
journey – I have done a bit of this already and really enjoyed it. It was practice for me speaking to people,
and it was nice to talk to people and let them know that I understood what they
were going through and that they too could make their weight loss dreams come
true. If I can do this again it will mean
that I can reach even more people, and even I don’t get to work with them
directly as their personal trainer I can still get them started. If I can’t do it I’ll try blogging instead. That reaches people as well, just not as
many. It’ll make me a bit sad if I can’t do this but I’ll still continue to
reach out to people in other ways.
-
Do the Mount Washington Bike Race again – this
race is totally a personal goal for me.
The first time I did it I finished with 5 paramedics working on me and
the second time I quit half way through because of what my finish
time would have been (I would have been fine, I didn’t set me watch back to US
time so I was an hour ahead of the actual time). I hate myself for quitting last year and so I
WILL do it again. Again, this time it’s
personal!!!! If I don’t do it next year
I’ll continue to train for the year after.
There is no what if I can’t do it, I AM going to do it!!
