One of the things I've been thinking about since I set my personal financial goal is a health and wellness goal. I'm embarrassed to say that initially I thought I didn't need one. But that's not true. Everyone needs a health goal. Even someone who is very healthy could have a plan for staying very healthy.
I think it's easy to set a health goal of losing weight. I'm not saying it's simple, but it is easy to write down this goal: I will lose 25 pounds in 12 weeks. Then list the action steps. As we all know, the challenge is in working the plan.
Over the last two years, my health and wellness plan focused on competing in amateur natural bodybuilding competitions. One day I'm going to blog about it. It was the most fun I've had in my life to date other than going to Disney. My goal was to compete. My plan was weight training, cardio, supplements, water, eat clean, and pose, pose, pose.
My question is: How should I define my health and wellness goal now that I'm not competing?

Well, perhaps you could define it in terms of actions like finding healthy recipes, cooking for yourself instead of eating out, recording what you eat...that kind of thing? And losing 2 pounds a week.
What about lowering your cholesterol count a certain percentage within so many months?
Or adding so much cardio per week to help with a healthy heart function?
Finding stress reducers that would work for you, could be something to think about?
