Carol had the program today.

First part of the program was sayings she had members read.

2nd part was from TOPS My Day 1

She talked about setting goals the smart way.

Be specific, such as “I will drink 6-8 glasses of water a day

Set a time: I will drink the 6-8 glasses of water a day for the next 7 weeks

Make this attainable/realistic, for instance do not say I will lose 50 lbs. in a month.

And make it timely like I will drink six to eight glasses of water for the next seven weeks.

Thank you, Carol this will be helpful for setting goals to start our new contest.
