It may be as simple as keeping your house clean and the dishes in the sink or simply taking a shower before heading out the door to your daily responsibilities. It may be hard, but doing the small things will make a big difference in your life. If you are feeling overwhelmed, it may be a good idea to re-evaluate what you are trying to accomplish.

Set SMART goals for yourself that are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely. Goal setting is an important tool for staying healthy and staying fit.
