SMART Goal Setting 

When it comes to improving your health, whether you’re on a GLP-1 journey, building new habits, or aiming to feel better, vague goals like “eat healthier” or “exercise more” can feel overwhelming. 
 
SMART goals make your plan clear, realistic, and achievable, so you build momentum and confidence every week. 

What Are SMART Goals? 

SMART stands for: 

S — Specific 

Clearly define what you want to do. 
Example: “Walk after dinner” instead of “exercise more.” 

M — Measurable 

Make sure you can track it. 
Example: “Walk 10 minutes.” 

A — Achievable 

Choose something realistic for your lifestyle. 
Example: 10 minutes, not 60. 

R — Relevant 

The goal should support your health journey or GLP-1 success. 
Example: Walking supports digestion, blood sugar, and weight loss. 

T — Time-Bound 

Decide when and how often you’ll do it. 
Example: “5 days this week.” 

SMART Goal Example 

❌ “I’m going to eat better.” 
✔️ “I will include a protein source at lunch 5 days this week.” 

❌ “I’ll move more.” 
✔️ “I will walk for 10 minutes after dinner on Monday–Friday.” 

❌ “I’ll drink more water.” 
✔️ “I’ll drink 1 bottle of water before noon each day.” 

Why SMART Goals Work 

• Break big goals into manageable steps 

• Build consistency and confidence 

• Help you measure real progress 

• Keep motivation high 

• Support long-term success, especially during GLP-1 use 

Create Your Own SMART Goal 

Use this simple template: 

This week, I will ______________________ 
for ______ minutes / days per week 
because it will help me ___________________ . 

Tip for GLP-1 Users 

Start small. As appetite, energy, and routines shift, your goals can grow with you. Consistency beats perfection.
