goal will be for the session (6) weeks summer semester, 10 weeks fall and spring
semester
Step 2 Write down your goal. Example: I want to improve my physical fitness.
Step 3 List your action plan. (Be specific.) Example: I will do aerobic
dance for 50 minutes, 3 days per week. Walk 1 day per week for 60 minutes, and
swim 2 days per week for 30 minutes.
Step 4 Begin your daily journal. Briefly discuss whether or not you met your
goal for that day.
Journal Sample

My goal is to get more active to help me feel better and get in better physical condition.
