Kicking & Screaming My Way to Health: plan

Showing posts with label plan. Show all posts

week 1...again

At work we are having a "get fit challenge."

I am a team leader and while I may not get fit myself, I will encourage my team to! (I actually will at least begin the process of getting fit.)
We have several goals we are hoping to meet.
An overall goal (mine is to lose 15 lbs in 12 weeks)
Weekly goals: exercise, nutrition & sleep

So I am down for:
exercise 3x/week for 30 mins (think sweat!)

take my supplements 1-2x/day (week 1 only) & lower sugar intake

sleep 7 hours week 5 days

I actually accomplished my exercise and sleep goals and most of my nutritional goals. I'll be powering those up more this next week.

Honestly, my biggest win is that I actually exercised 3x!!

And that for 2 days running I've significantly reduced sugar and...

and...

2 days of what I affectionately call "Crack Cookies" (because you can't stop eating them) or Deep Fried EVIL's Baked Brother being available and I've NOT EATEN ANY!!!

My goal this next week - mentally - is to stop thinking how I think and give myself a new perspective. Just because I weighed in today (up .2 lbs btw) does not mean I can celebrate/commiserate with Crack Cookies!

This wasn't very humorous or interesting and I apologize.

Just remember...

I'll do anything to lose weight.

Except eat right and exercise.

not giving up

I've been super busy with work lately and while I have much to say!
Got sick (again), however with the immunity IV I was able to schedule on day 1 of illness, I am bouncing back faster than ever.

Current plan of action:

At work we have a Get Fit Challenge and I am a team captain. Goal to exercise 3x/week and (obviously) lose weight. There are cash incentives.
Trying to get back on and be really consistent with my supplements. Rather frustrated with myself for losing momentum as I will again have to go through the ramp up of not feeling well as they once again purge toxins from my body.
Looking into counseling and even hypnotherapy to help me with my (finally?) "admitting" I have a sugar addiction. (note the caveat's there... I am still holding on by my fingernails there.) Purchased additional supplements to help with cravings.
Always need to drink more water.

I am seeing that having a plan is really important. I want to post my goals. I've been to so many sales training and conferences and the one constant is writing down your goals and looking at your written goals daily. That is something many of the most successful people in the world do that others don't. Seeing as I struggle with ADD and focus -- this will hopefully help me remember why I am trying to get healthy.

Perhaps having these posted at home (and work) will help my family encourage me as well.

So, I'm restarting myself today.
