My long-term healthy behavior change goal is to incorporate health recommendation into my daily life and make put them into practice. My short-term S.M.A.R.T principle for this week is to define goals for each of the behavioral stage. The S.M.A.R.T goal is that “I will have 1 hour of light exercise for the whole week.” The goal is specific and attainable and also timely. The initial stage of the process is 30 minutes followed by the condition improvement stage that is 1 hour of exercise. The maintenance stage is 1 hour and beyond. The higher motivational results are strong motivators although the unrealistic and unattainable results may be discouraging.

The successes I can celebrate from the health practice are a significant reduction in weight and blood sugar level. The reduction in the weight loss and blood sugar level has been reduced during the past week. Various resources like pedometer and track equipment helped me in my health practice. I encountered various obstacles in the process of my exercise. The common barrier I faced is the lack of enough time to practice. Commitments reduce the time and daily practices. The solution to the barrier is to make a chart that is the activity chart. For instance, 10 minutes run at lunchtime, choosing the appropriate physical exercise like running and creating a bubble system. The struggles I continue to face with my daily exercise includes change in weather that disrupts my daily practice

The self-management strategies include self-evaluation and follow-up and self-reinforcement. I monitor the progress of my practice so as to note if I am meeting my set goals that are necessary for the adherence to the behavioral change. The intrinsic motivators have stimulated me to continue with the daily practices. The practice has been more of a habit than the set goal of weight loss. The comments I have is that for long-term weight-loss and healthy lifestyle, the intrinsic factors are important when focusing on the health-related factors

After examining the S.M.A.R.T goals for this week, the next S.M.A.R.T goal is to ensure maintenance of a constant practice and diet that fits my health status.
