    Happy New Year! Kicking off our "Best Year Yet" challenge with some time to reflect on our goals. In a journal (or on your smart phone), jot down 3 long term goals that you will work on in 2014 and 3 short-term goals that you plan to work on this month. We will be referring back to these often.
    Try to keep your goals focused on behaviors (which you can control) instead of outcomes (which you cannot always control). Think about the behaviors you need to implement in order to see the outcomes you desire. For example, instead of saying, "I want to lose 10 pounds of body fat and gain 5 pounds of muscle," determine that you will complete three heavy strength training sessions per week.
    What are some of your long and short-term goals? #bestyearyet

    I posted this on FB but I feel it's better to post here in the Group:
    Long term:
    1. Work towards fitting into the dress I got married in by working out 5-6 times a week and eating %15 less then my TDEE.
    2. Do an unassisted pull or chin up.
    3. Build more muscle mass by getting into a weight lifting routine.
    Short term:
    1. Maintain my TDEE with %15 cut. New to this.
    2. Fix my menu plan to get all those extra calories in.
    3. Workout before noon.
