DMC Goals Review 2011-2012
2011 and Going Forward into 2012
As discussed in last week’s Goals setting blog it is important to have goals drive towards achieving those goals and review your progress.
Last January I set myself many goals some of these being, – (A) = achieved S.I.P = still in progress (NA) = not achieved.

Overall Health & Fitness Goals
Become stronger in all lifts by getting better numbers and moving greater loads – (A)
Attain again and then maintain 8-12% body fat – S.I.P
Become more skilled at Boxing – (A)
Compete at GS sport –FEB 2012
Specific Goals
Double my Squat and Deadlift numbers DL = YES. Squat-S.I.P
Improve my Chins and Pull-Ups to 10 reps on each with perfect technique (no grinding allowed). – (A)
Barbell Overhead Press 80kgs for 5-10 reps (can do 70ks for 2 reps just now) –S.I.P
Increase chest strength by Press Up variations wearing a weighted vest – (A) + S.I.P
Individual Goals (daily/weekly)

So there you have it all apart from one of my 2011 goals either achieved or still in progress and carried over to 2012. Outwith my training and health goals, I also had many business goals. I worked diligently through them having a 95% success rate any goals I did not achieve are to be carried over to 2012.

I also have an extensive list of business goals that are written down measured and in place to be worked towards and have been shared with my business coach.
Lastly, I have some personal goals I aim to achieve which I will share with my life coach. These will revolve around me being a better less stressed, more reasonable, and more compassionate person, a better father and partner to Jules. I also have a few materialistic goals aim to achieve for my family and me but these will all depend on my success everywhere else.
So there you have it my map to personal achievement and success in life for 2012. I did spend a little time formulating and defining these goals and yours don’t have to be as detailed. One goal is enough as long as you have one.
I will check back in every 12 weeks throughout the year to detail my progress.
As always thanks for reading
Until the next time
