Debbie's Weekly "Food for Thought" 01/30/24 - Progress!

Hello my friends

Are you ready to finish January strong? 

What did you do that you are proud of this month?

For me it was digging deep and finding a goal.  At the beginning of the year I thought having my word "Intentional" would help me perform miracles, and see amazing results, but as the month was moving forward, I was not, and I was being intentional, but I didn't have a goal and was struggling to find one.  While I was looking through some older photos, I see some images of my former self that I want to be again, but as I don't have a magic lamp to rub or a time machine, I had to think long and hard about how I could get there again, and what I was doing then that I wasn't doing now.

Then it came to me, I needed a new word, one that would motivate me each day, and support a goal, which I decided was to be "Lean" like I used to be, not a weight or a pant size, but at peace with my body and mind.  

What a total shift, now my word is playing in my head constantly, I have added workouts that will help me get leaner, but also I want my thoughts, emotions and space to be leaner too.  Less worrying about things I cannot control, more acceptance over what I have, and a plan to clear out clutter, and create a leaner living space.  Even though the scale has only moved a little, I already feel lighter, happier and more in control, the power of that one word can really make a difference.

So if your word is not connecting you to your goal, dig deep and find one that will.

This week we will be talking about "Protecting our Progress" by making weight tracking part of a healthy routine.  We all know that when we track our weight regular we can see progress over time, but not tracking it can lead to more frustration and less likelihood of changing habits and behaviors to support our goals.

As we wrap up January, what has helped you create new behaviors and habits?

A good behavior to lean on has to be attending your weekly workshop, this gives us the perfect space to weigh in, and set a plan to follow through with for the next week.  

Love will certainly be in the air in February, the month will be full of self love, and love for others on plan too, we have a great lineup of topics, which we know are all backed by science and we are launching a new "Chat" feature, which I will be sharing with you all in the workshops over the next few weeks.  We are part of a special "So Cal Pilot", and I can't wait for you all to be part of it.  Together we have a strong community, so lets get stronger. 

"it doesn't matter what you did, it matters what you do next"

I can't wait to see you all this week, come rain or shine,

You can do this

BELIEVE......... AND THE WEIGHT LOSS WILL FOLLOW ðŸ’–
