Digital transformation. Personal evolution. It all starts with setting goals, tracking progress and finding peace within yourself.
Week 1. Goals. 10 hours of exercise (treadmill, elliptical or yoga). I completed 9 hours. Track my food everyday. I did it in MyFitnessPal app. My calorie count was to stay under 1,440 per day (8,640 for the first six days). I had a deficit of 4,758 calories. I lost 4 pounds! It’s pretty amazing how much hard work, commitment and tracking it takes to get healthier. To loose the weight. Onto week 2.
Week 2. Goals. Be mindful of what I eat. This is critical because I am out of town for business the entire week. Walk 70,000 steps. I walked over 75,000 steps. It easy to walk in Manhattan in June! Do planks every morning in my hotel. Ouch. I only did planks once. Not going to beat myself up. Continue on my path. Take two yoga classes. I took three yoga classes after work in NJ. Surrender, they called the practice. I surrender to it as I work to manage my life. Do what I want and still loose weight. Got home lost another 2 pounds! I think I am onto something! #namastecommittedomycause
Week 3. Reflect. I coach sales professionals how to be effective with their sales process in my corporate life. I talk about the foundation to get started that is so critical. That foundation is called planning and getting your activities on your calendar! So why am I not planning my weight loss program as if I was coaching a sales professional? Food for thought. HA. Goal. Workout 4 times. Be mindful of what I eat and drink. Do yoga. Walk 45,000 steps.
Update. Accomplished weekly goal. No change in weight although two people said I looked “skinny.” Continue on is what I say. Off to Seattle and Phoenix. What’s the plan to manage my goals for week 4?
Week 4. Goals. Limit the carbs. Eat more protein and vegetables. Stay under 1,000 calories. I travel from West Palm Beach to Seattle to Phoenix and back to Fort Lauderdale. For me, it’s imperative that I am mindful in what I eat especially while traveling as I may not have the energy to work out. Let’s see if we can make that scale change when I weight myself on Saturday morning! Cheers to a fabulous week. Update. Up and down one pound throughout the weekend. Get stricter next week. Don’t beat myself up. It’s only 1 pound!
Week 5. Determination. It’s simple. Work out more. Eat less. Eat cleaner. Goal. 8 workouts. 1 hour each. More protein. Less carbs and less fat. Stay determined. Walk 50,000 steps. Update. Completed all 8 workouts. 3 very intense yoga workouts Lost 2 pounds! Fell short on steps goal.
Week 6. Reset. I’m learning that tracking my food and exercise not only holds me accountable to myself, that it also allows for little guilty pleasures. A glass of wine here. A few chocolates there. I’m now 10 pounds lighter than I have been all year! Let’s do it again. Goal. Go back and review what I did on week one and do it again! Update #namastecommittedtomycause
