Set Realistic Goals

You aren't likely to hear some rookie say he plans to win the New York Marathon when he finished in last place the year before and he has yet to get off the bench. In other words, most athletes set realistic goals. So face it: You're not going to lose 30 pounds by your 10-year class reunion next weekend. (A more realistic goal is approximately two pounds per week.) Focus on taking one baby step at a time, keeping your ultimate goal in mind. It will be all the more rewarding when you finally get there.
