People often set goals to organize their time and resources so that they can make the most of their lives. I also set some goals in my life, some remain unaccomplished and some are successfully achieved by me. Here I will talk about a recent goal that I set which took me 2.5 months to accomplish.<\/p>\n<p>Last winter, in the month of January, I started experiencing a sharp pain in my lower back as well as left knee. When the pain did not subside despite taking ample rest and medicine, I finally went to an orthopaedist. After close examination he told me that I was 13 kgs overweight due to which joint problems were beginning to appear in my body. I was shocked and depressed. He comforted me and said that it&#8217;s not too late yet and I could resolve the problem myself by shedding the extra weight.<\/p>\n<p>I came home and I set a goal that I will lose the excess fat in my body in the next 2-3 months. I prepared a 900 calorie per day diet chart for myself which had more fruits and vegetables and minimal carbohydrate and fat intake. I began following it diligently without any dishonesty. I began going for a walk for 1 hour every evening. I also did some exercise for improving my posture and getting rid of back pain such as the famous \u2018cat and camel\u2019 exercise which alleviated the back pain.\u00a0 I kept doing all these things for 2 months and at the end measured my weight. I was over the moon when I noticed a massive drop of 11 kgs. My friends and parents were also very happy for me. My mother appreciated my efforts and told me to keep it up as I had 2 more kgs to shed. In the next two weeks I accomplished my goal successfully and finally visited the doctor. He just could not recognise me at first sight as i looked healthier and smarter. He too praised me a lot for my good work. After checkup he said that I was completely fine and I happily left for home.<\/p>\n<p>So this was a target that i set for myself which i achieved in a few months with hard work and dedication.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Describe a goal that you achieved, which was set by yourself What it was When did you set it How did you achieve it Explain how it influenced your life&#8230;<\/p>\n <a href=\"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/describe-a-goal-that-you-achieved-which-was-set-by-yourself\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading <i class=\"fas fa-arrow-right\"><\/i><\/a>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2745,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2959,6],"tags":[1573,1574,139,2186,2699,2187],"yst_prominent_words":[1255,1257,890,2855,138,2259,747,3060,207],"class_list":["post-2744","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cue-cards","category-speaking","tag-ielts-speaking","tag-ielts-speaking-cue-card","tag-ielts-speaking-tips","tag-ielts-speaking-vocabulary","tag-recent-ielts-exam-question","tag-topic-related-vocabulary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2744","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2744"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2744\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2746,"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2744\/revisions\/2746"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2745"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2744"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2744"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2744"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brpaper.com\/ielts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=2744"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
