One of my clients is a personal trainer, and a very, very good one. He & his wife have multiple trainers who work under them, they work 6-7 days per week and they have a huge client base. I mean, they are super legit.
They shared this article on FB today and it was just what I needed to read. I even bookmarked it to read often when I need a swift kick in the rear. It's "The Brutally Honest 6 Reasons You're Still Overfat." And it really is brutally honest but I hate sugar-coating stuff. I have always responded best to a bit of tough love and it's simply the way I tend to communicate as well. Direct and Honest but also Compassionate and most importantly, coming from a place of caring and that's why I'm saying things. That's how I read that article & it was just what I needed to read.
I am ready to stop making excuses of putting my health & fitness on the back burner. I'm ready to do this and do it consistently. I want my body to be as healthy as possible going into a pregnancy but mainly because I want to be able to continue that into the pregnancy. I don't expect to quit then, but I don't want to start then either. I have to start now, once and for all! LOL
I want to lose 6 pounds in February. That's my ultimate goal and here's how I can accomplish that (plus a few other things):
Here are the things I WILL DO in February:
1. Meal Plan & Prep each week
2. Fitness & Workout Plan each week
3. Have IUD removed (Eeeek!)
4. Switch over health insurance (one that has maternity coverage)
5. Register for a triathlon in April
6. Exercise 20 times
7. Bike to work 3 times
8. Buy a heart rate monitor/Garmin triathlon watch and begin using it
9. Make smart decisions over lunch meetings for work
10. I will not cheat and I will make good decisions on Super Bowl Sunday.
11. In February, I will enjoy the Wine Tasting party we're having at our house, but THAT IS IT!!
12. I will not cheat & I will make good decisions at the party I was invited to on February 13th.
Looking at my calendar and planning ahead, I am noticing that I attend a lot of parties. Those are fun but they're also really challenging when trying to make good decisions. Hence the reason I plan to read that article above over & over again in February!!
Cheers!

I may be double commenting - if I am, sorry!
ReplyDeleteThat article killed me! #1 especially. I'm the worst about "My friends wanted to go out for Margaritas and Mexican" - hello, I don't have to drink Marg or eat 6 servings of chips. I can drink a light beer or water and limit the # of crappy foods I put in my mouth. It was a bit of lightening bolt moment for me.
