  • When going out for several hours or going out to eat plan ahead regarding your meals, to stay on track.

Strong support system

  • Family/friends that are supportive

Measurable goals

  • Multi-faceted goals (short term, mid-term, and long term).

  • Strength training goals- The specific number of reps, and/or weight for a given exercise.
