IN CONCLUSION: Even though I didn't complete this challenge 100% I am still super excited because I am now going to the gym again : )

In nursing school we were taught about making SMART Goals
S=specific
M=measurable
A=attainable
R=realistic
T=time

So starting tomorrow April 4 my SMART goal is:

Attend 3 1-hour workout classes/week.

-Specific because the topic is exercise.
-Measurable because the workout time is 1hour.
-Attainable because I have a gym membership, and not to mention and packed gym bag in my car.
-Realistic because I have been able to do this is the past and I have a workout schedule online.
-Time because i am doing this 1 week at a time for 1 month.

Note to self, I think my SMART goal will be SMARTER if i make a weekly workout schedule. I am going to work on this.
UPDATE-April 6
I wrote in my calendar the classes that I could possible attend at two gym locations. I went to my first yoga class in what seems forever, it was amazing. I went to my first Zumba class which was fun, but it painfully showed me how uncoordinated I am, haha. I am looking forward to next week.
