Setting Realistic Weight Goals
It is almost the new year. Do you know that this is the busiest time for people to consider losing weight? It is common to set a goal for the new year only to give up by the first week. We all have good intentions when we set goals. What tends to happen, though, is the goal is either too vague or too large to tackle, making its attainment unrealistic. When you do not have a plan in place, your goal can become overwhelming. This learning lesson will help you put this plan in place for 2020!
Our free Luma Learning Lessons include objectives, estimated time, materials and instructional procedures for classroom and online/blended teaching. We will provide strategies on how to use our new LumaLive technology to collaborate virtually in real-time. We include these pillars from our learning research to illustrate where they are infused in our lessons.
