Starting weight: 249.5 End of week #1: 243.5 Diff +/-: -6I take a look back at this week and can say good things. I started a new challenge. I feel awesome and can't wait for tomorrow.
There are some things that have come up that I need to work on for this up coming week:
- get more sleep ( in bed between 10 - 11)
- Integrate an ab routine in on strength days
- Fill out daily goals and power mindset sheets ( send to acct partner)
- Prepare a weekly diet and stock that stuff
These are all good points, but some are more important than others. I think the most important of these are SLEEP and DIET MENU. These need to be addressed quickly.
The sleep will aid in the recovery, especially with 6 - 8 mile elliptical sessions. The menu needs to be a no brainer. If I don't know what it is I'm making how can I have it prepared. That sound like the SHOOT-READY-AIM method. Not going to last long. I need these items in the house.
I am very happy with my physical training. i have done some great cardio sessions, and it is apparent that it has paid off. I feel very positive going into week #2. I would love to throw up another great number like that. If I got 18 of them I would be at my ultimate goal weight.
I decided to make a great move and look for a accountability partner for this challenge. I was looking for someone who is making the journey also. They hold me accountable for proper exercise and nutrition, and offer encouraging words when I need it. I found Jillian (jillianmays)and she seems to have the same goals and thoughts that I have. I figured that she would be a good fit. Things have worked out very well so far.

Glad your back on it! question: what makes THIS time different than before???
You will find you answer in the June 20th post, Opening Thoughts.
What makes this time different?
The first times it was all about changing me, but mostly the outside of me. I have been overweight for quite a while and struggled with losing it. The rest of my life was going pretty well. Times change..............
This time I am in a much different situation. I feel like my back is against the wall physically, mentally, financially. My world has slowly tightened its grip on me. I am slowly feeling suffocated by all that has happened. I have grown sick of the situation and realized that I am the only one who can change it. No one else can do this for me. It is what Anthony Robbins mentions, the pain pleasure principle. I am experiencing a lot of pain and am finally saying enough is enough. It's time to make a change. This is as good a time as any to start this change.
For the rest check out that post.
