Speaking of Goals

Speaking of short term goals. Do you set short terms goals or do you just go for the gusto? Say you want to lose 50 lbs? Do you do it 10 lbs at a time or the whole thing? Personally, I found that it's easier to set a short term goal with a beginning, middle and end rather than to go for the grand daddy prizes because inevitably I set myself up for failure. It's too hard to follow something for a long tern. I don't know about you but the older I get my attention span seems to gets shorter. Who has the time to fail? No one has the time to NOT get results.
