Fitness Coaching Series - Step 4 - Phase 1 - Goal Setting

Hi guys! I have been trying to post the Step 4 Information all day! I am not sure why the blogger doesn't like my formatting. I can't figure it out. I am just going to go ahead and send it all to you individually via e-mail to start working on. I will continue to try to post it here though!

Thanks!

Sadie, I didn't see the Step 5 blog posted so I am including my posting/comments for it here...under step 4. Let me know if I need to move it.

I am so excited about my 30 day goal to lose 10 pounds! I will achieve this goal by September 13, 2009. This goal is really important to me because I don’t like the fact that I got lazy this summer and put on some weight. I want to lose it so I look and feel better. In the past, the reason I didn’t reach this goal was mostly because the temptation to eat high-fat, high-calorie foods was too great…and there was lack of motivation to work out. I am going to prevent that from deterring me this time by running at least 1.5 miles three times a week, plan my meals in advance, and decrease my adult beverage intake to ~3 nights per month. I am going to recruit an accountability partner and either get a personal trainer or join the Run Club for the accountability and inspiration to help me achieve my 30 day goal! The biggest realization that I had with this Fitness Coaching Series so far is that it is much easier to maintain healthy eating habits and a good work-out routine when you make yourself accountable by keeping your goals in front of you and writing everything down. Wish me luck everyone! As great a reward as it has already been to get back into the swing of things and get motivated to reach my goals via these 5 steps, I am curious to see what kind of reward Sadie has in store for us for simply following through with this series.

I am also looking for an "Accountability Partner" to help each other stay focused on our goals and stay motivated...Sadie, let me know if you need my to be paired with someone else participating in this challenge. Otherwise, I'd like to try and get Ken to take on that role since he's my A.R. partner. Let me know!!! :)

Hi Sadie,
I didn't see the Step 5 anywhere, so I am posting it here.
thanks Karee
Worksheet for Step #5:

I am so excited about my 30 day goal to lost 13 lbs in the next 30 days! I will achieve this goal by Sept 30th, 2009. This goal is really important to me because I want to feel good about myself and the way that I look). In the past, the reason I didn’t reach this goal was mostly because I made up every excuse to not have the time or ability to reach my goals. I am going to prevent that from deterring me this time by making this fun and an exciting adventure for not only myself but also my family. I am going to recruit an accountability partner who is also doing TBT for the accountability and inspiration to help me achieve my 30 day goal! The biggest realization that I had with this Fitness Coaching Series so far is that I have to hold myself accountable for my action and stay motivated no matter what happens. Wish me luck everyone! I can’t wait to see what the reward is and to see my husband’s mouth drop on the floor when he see’s me in a cute bikini next summer!

Hey Sadie,
I'm also posting Step 5 here...

I am so excited about my 30 day goal to train to run 6 miles, bike 10 miles, and kayak 5 miles in an upcoming Adventure Race! I will achieve this goal by October 3, 2009. This goal is really important to me because I’ve never been able to run a whole mile without walking. In the past, the reason I didn’t reach this goal was mostly because I didn’t believe that I could run a mile without walking…not to mention run 6, but also because I wasn’t preparing a workout plan ahead of time. I spent too much time thinking and wondering what I should do to workout instead of actually doing it! I am going to prevent that from deterring me this time by 1. writing out a work out schedule every Tuesday with my husband, 2. making a back up schedule for when things beyond my control force me to adjust my workout and/or workout schedule and 3. taping the schedule to the bathroom mirror so my husband and I know THAT MORNING what we have to do for training that day. I am going to recruit an accountability partner for the accountability and inspiration to help me achieve my 30 day goal! The biggest realization that I had with this Fitness Coaching Series so far is that I rely too much on someone else to motivate me to workout and I give myself too much time to decide which workout to do because I don’t plan the workouts in advance. When that happens, I usually don’t get a workout that night and end up full of anxiety because the Adventure Race is getting closer and closer everyday! Wish me luck everyone! I have already hit a small goal of running a whole mile without walking in just under 10 minutes. I can’t wait to be able to say, “I completed an Adventure Race!!!!”

Hey everyone! I'd also like an accountability partner to talk about our goals and the progress we're making. I'd also love it if i could find someone who would like to work out together 1 day a week. Either weight training at the gym or a run outdoors! Let me know!
