Progress - Not Perfection

I have tried for the past couple years to diet and exercise, but I have not been able to be disciplined enough to actually put my best effort forward. I just did not want it enough to stick with it. There are several things that I did wrong. First of all, I was expecting results too soon. I knew in my head that it would take awhile to see results and I knew that I needed to actually put a good couple months in to the process to actually make my actions a habit, but I did not actually get this process through my head. I did not actually take into consideration the time and effort that I needed to put into this new lifestyle.

With the coming new year, I have decided to participate in a couple of programs: the Lara Casey's Making Things Happen 2013 Series, the Maria Kang No Excuse Fitness Program, and the advice of Marie Forleo and her wonderful videos. I have been working on figuring out an action plan to make sure that I can actually make it to my goals. Maria Kang gives some wonderful pointers about how to create an action plan/motivational poster to help you stick to your fitness goals. Here is a link: http://www.mariakang.com/2013/12/30/10-words-of-advice-for-new-years-resolutions/.

This is my motivational poster:

My Fitness Calendar

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I followed Maria Kang's advice and created it. I added some quotes because I am a quote person. This is just when I started out. I do have to add a disclaimer: I have a bunch of red X's because I got my wisdom teeth out. I just wanted to let you know that I haven't already been slacking off at the beginning of the new year. I really couldn't work out. :) I am going to regularly post updates of my fitness calendar and hope that you are motivated too!
