Class at 5PM Today
Final weigh ins start today, the race is very close, come in
at your best! A lot of you have done
some really great work throughout the 8 weeks and hopefully walked away with
some lifestyle changes that you can carry on with to continue towards your
goals. Some of you have already met your
goals and might already be thinking about setting new ones and some of you might
have let other excuses get in your way over the last 8 weeks but either way
hopefully you all learned something from it.
“How you do anything, is how you
do everything.”
This is probably one of my favorite quotes. It pops into my mind
pretty often, mostly because it so often rings true and every time I see it
being proven by someone I’m reminded of it. It works both ways but I’ll
try to focus on the positive ways that I’ve seen it displayed during this
weight loss challenge and how many of you reminded me of it throughout.
When everybody was signed up I had a pretty good idea of who would do well and
who wouldn’t, simply because I believe heavily on this quote. The people
who are successful in challenges like this are successful in most of the things
they decide to take on. People see their results in a challenge like this
and think it was the workouts, the gym they go to, the trainer they have or the
diet they were given but it’s really none of these things, it’s you. Are you
the kind of person who sets a goal and sees it through or are you finding that
a lot of times you get excited or motivated to start something but within a
few weeks or when things start to get boring or tough you just let it fall away
or distract yourself with some other new thing? Are you just getting
motivated to start trying now that the end of the challenge is here?
Is this a common theme for you, waiting until
the last minute to try and cram and get things done? You can see it in
everything people do, from something as simple as their daily workout to
important things like their diet or work habits. Settling in to a steady
comfortable pace on your workout instead of challenging yourself or eating
what's easy or available instead of researching and preparing your food and
seeing what results it brings is the same as settling at work, life or in
anything else you do.
The most
consistent, hard working and attentive people you know will always come out on
top in things like this and really anything they
DECIDE to do. This is most definitely being proven with most everyone in this challenge and you will see it for yourself when the final results are posted. If you
didn’t do as well as you had hoped you would in the beginning of the challenge
don't take this post so hard and instead, chalk it up to learning something
about yourself, maybe it’s a common theme in a lot of different areas for you,
maybe you are continually not seeing things through or giving up on things when
they become difficult, usually you don’t even have to look that hard to
recognize it and maybe this challenge helped you do that. When your
workout gets uncomfortable, do you push through or start giving up and looking
for a way out? Can you say the same about how your diet went or your last
job? It's seen everywhere and really all you have to do is recognize it
to change it. So maybe this was a perfect eye opener for you and you'll
decide to start all over again TODAY and see it through this time.
Congrats to everyone who stuck to what they said they would do 8 weeks ago, not
just because you saw results and came out a healthier version of yourself but
because you didn't just say your were going to do something, you did it.
