I am making my health a priority in 2017 and so on the 20 February I will be starting the Fernwood 12 Week Challenge. I am excited, nervous and a little stressed about how I am going to fit it in, but it is a priority so I am going to make it work for me.
This is my 3rd time as a member of Fernwood. I have not focused at all on my health in the last 6 years – instead focusing on my daughter, business and life. My health has been the missing piece.
With this piece missing I have had little energy – and certainly not the energy to keep up with a busy little girl and a business that I am wanting to upscale this year.
So I committed in December 2016 to re-joining Fernwood and finding my energy again. In January I begun by simply creating the habit of going 3 times a week. Then I decided that if I could create the habit of exercise then I could eat better and aim for weight loss also. SO I started the 28 day breakthrough challenge and decided that I wanted to shed 50kg in total and it would be great to lose 20kg by Christmas this year.
Already I am starting to miss exercise on days I am not doing anything, and on days where I slip a little and can’t pre-prepare healthy food then I feel yuck!
My intention this year is to think bigger with all of my goals – so what has started as gaining energy has quickly grown to creating healthy habits around exercise and food and wanting weight loss.
Just when I thought this could not get any bigger or anymore focused I have taken the opportunity to join the 12 week challenge. I have added to my diary all of the appointments and the extra classes, and my PT sessions. I already know that I am not going to get to them all, as family and work are still high priorities. I will make the best effort to re-schedule or do make-up sessions to fit in around my world. Plus I will be sharing my journey along the way…….
I have already said no (or later in the year) to a couple of other opportunities which have come my way, in order to make room for achieving this very big goal of mine – and my why – To have the energy to give to my business and keep up with my daughter.
