Getting smart about getting fit. Enhancing our self awareness and honesty with ourselves.
We started with describing the mechanics of metabolism, caloric intake and healthy weight loss strategies. Most importantly, we learned how to set healthy goals and what it takes to attain them. People often have unrealistic expectations of results and timelines. Which results in disappointment, and sometimes giving up before the “magic” happens. It’s a lot easier to be patient when one’s expectations are tempered by knowledge and understanding.
Next, on to the topic of the process of relapse. That’s right. A process. NOT an “event”. Despite what it might seem like, feel like or appear to be. We began identifying our personal early warning signs – those thought, attitude and behavior changes – both subtle and overt.
Of course, no evening is complete without a visit to our happy place! Yup! 24-Hour Fitness’ great facility on S. Rainbow Blvd. (Click here for website) What a difference a couple weeks makes! We not only have excellent participation rates, but the women are starting to function as a team – encouraging, motivating and challenging each other.
This is some kind of awesome!
