Goals in small increments

We've all been there. We set a goal, exercise 5 days a week, start a new diet by eliminating 5 different food groups ASAP, drop 10 pounds by next week, and find ourselves quitting 3 days in because it's an unattainable goal. Goals should be set in 5 day increments -- this week I will cut out dairy from my diet, and then after 5 days of no dairy, I will eliminate sugar. Small steps keep us focused, and makes us realize that it is possible to achieve what we want. That and willpower!
