It's all about INTEGRITY
Well, I made it. Stayed under 2000cals every day for the past 7 days. As a coach, I often talk to people about integrity - in it's simplest form it is simply being your word. I gave my word to myself and to a group I am coaching, that I would stay under 2000cals a day - a maximum of 14,000 for the week. By Sunday night I had almost 4000 cals to play with for the day on Monday and still be under the total for the week. The thing is, I gave my word to be under each day, not under 14000 for the week (then that would be okay to binge on the Monday - do you get that)Then it would be so easy to then "buy" myself off by saying at least I was under for the week.
The point is, I gave my word to myself and my group to stay under 2000cals each day. Secondly, without integrity, nothing works. Today at lunch, as a mini celebration, I made myself a pizza (you know the ones you make on thin Lebanese bread etc)and had a bourbon a cola - yet I am still on target to stay under 2000cals for the day.
If you are a graduate of Landmark Education you will really understand what I am sharing next.
I got this week that I am not responsible around my health.
My weight and how I feel about myself has me stopped in business, in relationships and in being a person who makes a difference to others.
What I pretend is that I am okay with this, when really, I am miserable and often lonely.
The impact is that I am dis-empowered, lonely, and in life - I play a small game, yet I am capable of so much more.
What's missing is being responsible, lacking integrity (my word) and taken actions that help me lose weight.
So, the possibility I am creating for myself is the possibility of integrity and commitment. The victory over the past is that I am present to who I need to be in order to have the results I want to have.
This week, you can all count on me to be my word to this on line community and my buddies on here
I will stay under 2000cals per day for the next week (Tues - Mon)
I will complete 3 x 1 hour cardio sessions for the week (I have all the gear trust me)
If you message me, I will reply within 48hours.
Thank you for letting me share. Writing this down brings my commitment into existence and has me be accountable to you :-)
