Pressing the Reset Button

Looking back at last week

Ugh!

It was another rough week. Second one in a row. I worked out three (and a half) times. I tracked my food and was within my calorie goal only two days this week. The major struggle has been motivation and discipline.

Key victories this week

When I worked out, my stamina was good.
I got in 10,000 steps five days this week
I stretched three times this week.

Key lessons this week

I need structure.
It’s time to hit the reset button and get back to basics: goal setting, food tracking and consistent exercise.

Looking forward to next week

Goals

Area	Goal
Food	1200 net calories; track food six days this week.
Exercise	Complete workout six days; get 10,000 steps daily
Water	Consume 64 oz. daily

Gratitude

Finally, as I start a new week, I think it’s also important to reset my perspective. It’s so easy to get caught up in the struggle, the frustration, or the disappointment. Sure, I’ve got saddlebags, love handles, and cellulite on my bum. But you know what else I have? I’ve got a strong, resilient heart. I’ve got two strong legs that carry me wherever I want to go. I have a strong immune system. I’ve got so much to be thankful for. I’m so grateful that I’m healthy, my basic needs are met, and I have the luxury to focus on longevity, preventative health care and maintenance.
