That’s what I’m telling myself after a challenging period of time and too many pound weight gain to own up to it in numbers here.
I have lots of reasons — and excuses, but it’s time for a change. Really. Time to get up and get out there. Time to go back to good habits and maybe develop a few new ones, too.
As a coach, I help people set realistic goals, explore options, overcome obstacles, establish and stick to practical plans, and accomplish better results then they would on their own. I create a space to talk through challenges and help people focus on opportunities.
I knew I needed to do the same for myself. Without drive and focus, I wouldn’t move forward well, stay on track, and achieve my desired results.
This 40-something is a little older and a lot wiser, and I know what I need to do. More importantly, I know what I will — and won’t — do at this stage of my life to make it happen.
So, here I go again, but this time I’m moving forward with a well thought out plan and everything I need to see it through.
This week, I not only splurged on a pair of Skechers Shape-ups, but I also wore them and walked 90 minutes each day. I’ve also been preparing for a sustainable, long-term change in my eating habits — focusing on what I know works for me.
I’ve already lost two pounds and can’t wait to shed the rest.
Excuses will be banned, and progress will be rewarded. (Yay!)
I already know how much support and encouragement I’ll have, so let me take this opportunity to thank you all in advance.
Got to go . . .
You better work . . . cover girl,
Work it girl . . . give a twirl,
Do your thing on the runway . . .
(Thanks, RuPaul!)
