Increase my weight traning from 2-3X/Week to 5X/Week (is that a good goal?) and go from using 5lbs to 8-10lbs.


my only suggestion would be to make your goals a lil more measurable and include a set time frame... you'll be more inclined to achieve them.


for example: instead of i want to increase my stamina, try: i want to be able to run 1 mile in 8 minutes by the end of the month. or i want to drop from a size 2 to a size 0 by april 1st.

^^ doesnt necessarily have to be those dates/times/etc, but you get the idea.

my personal example: i am currently 170lbs and i want to be 180 lbs by the end of the semester.


hope that helped.

(oh, and i dont know if you've ever heard this before - but they say "a goal isnt a goal unless it is written down"... i thought 'ha, b/s' but i tried it over winter break from school and i like it. i was 159lbs and wanted to be 175 by the start of the semester - even though a bit unrealistic to pack on 15lbs of muscle in three weeks- i typed it out and blew it up on word, printed/cut it out, taped it to my closet door in my room, and i feel helped me get close to where i wanted... start of semester i was 170ish.)


srry for long post!
