Chapter 13 Spring into Fitness

Aptly named.

This is the week I NEED to spring into Fitness. Seriously. I just put up a post at The Life and Times of the Contessa that clearly indicates how important fitness is going to be moving forward.

Cheryl Richards puts a "Take Action Challenge" out there that's very interesting.

She asks that you find 5 obstacles to being a healthier person one day at a time and then to discover 5 solutions.

So here goes:

Obstacles:
  1. Poor time management
  2. Tired
  3. Boredom
  4. Fear
  5. health

Solutions:

  1. I will schedule my fitness into my calendar each day
  2. I will go to sleep slightly earlier and wake up at the same time each day
  3. Add different fitness activities to keep me interested
  4. I will monitor myself and if I don't see a difference in 3 months of serious work, I will see a doctor again
  5. If I maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle I will not need to be so worried about this.

So these are my goals for this week. I am adding fitness for the main purpose of stress release. secondly, for weight loss and third for health and meditation.

Conclusion Chapter 12

This was a wonderful chapter for me but it's a technique that is slow in coming. It's working but I need to start on something smaller and work my way up.

I have a small financial burden that I need to clear up. With Tax day around the corner, I shut everything out of my mind. I didn't think about it for 2 week, then I discovered the solution. In the car while I was driving. And it will clear up everything with some left over.

I do still love this technique - I just need to start small and work my way up.
