Day Minus 9 - Goal setting with FLOW

Alright kids, it's time for another blog post.

This morning I'm going to share with you my fitness goals and pretty much what I want to get out of this transformation.

In the book, Kris uses the F.L.O.W goal setting technique which I’m sure some of you have seen before. FLOW stands for:

Fixed

Limitless

Opportunities

Weaknesses

Fixed goals are like, short term goals. In this program they will relate to your physical appearance, for example: Get six-pack abs or lose 10kg.

Limitless goals are more long term goals or goals that inspire us from within. These goals don't have a “completion date.” Examples of these goals are: Becoming fitter so I have more energy to play with my kids or feel confident in your body.

Opportunities are doors that will opened as you continue to improve your health. Some of these may be: Become a qualified personal trainer so you can help other people reach their fitness goals or meet new like-minded people who may inspire you.

And finally weaknesses are things that are potential 'roadblocks' or things that will distract you from your goals. Like: bacon strips, bacon strips, bacon strips or poor organisation skills.

This is my FLOW chart

To explain my weaknesses, anyone that knows me well, knows I am terrible at organising myself which last time lead to missed meals and cardio. This time round I am consistantly working 1-3 nights a week as well as during the day which is going to be THE hardest thing about this transformation. But if I sacrifice a little bit of sleep to get my cardio and workouts done, make sure I have all my meals precooked and always have a meal replacement shake in my car just in case, I shouldnt have any issues.


Unitl next time...
