So, we are in the third month of 2009 and I figured it would be a good time to take a minute and reflect on some of the goals I set at the beginning of the year and see where I am at with them.
I am happy to report that I have already accomplished quite a few more than I figured I would have by this time! (Oh the things you can do if you put your mind to it!)
Anyhow here goes:
*1/2 Accomplished - Ongoing * - Certification in RPM or Body Combat, and teaching classes
- I took initial training for RPM on Feb 21st and PASSED! Now all I need to do is turn in my video in 3 months to get my final approval and certificate to teach. (See my RPM Training Blog here: rpmtraining.blogspot.com)
* Accomplished - Ongoing * -Teach one more BP Class a week
-I am currently teaching 2 classes of Body Pump @ Bladium - one on Wed nights and one on Saturday a.m.
*Accomplished - Ongoing * 4 Days of Cardio a week
- I go to 24 Hr fitness at least 3 days a week for lunch for Cardio and I have been trying to do Cycling class on Saturdays after my BP class every weekend. I now have a bicycle so there will be even more cardio added to my days which is a very good thing!
*Accomplished - Ongoing* - Better eating habits
-I have been on a fairly strict diet eating 6 times a day, items such as chicken, fish and green veggies. I have 2 cheat meals a week and have been a bit leanient on the weekends however I have seen great results. Doing this also has helped me to learn exactly what 5oz of fish or chicken looks like and 1/2 a cup of rice - its actually more than you would think...
* Accomplished - Ongoing* - Continue to work on treating myself better
- I have been seeing a therapist for a bit now and things are wonderful. I have done many things in the past couple of months to really be proud of myself and have actually let myself feel those things. It is great to be able to be myself and not feel guilty about it for one of the first times in my life.
*Accomplished - Ongoing * - Cut down drinking alcohol to one or two times a week
- I actually went for over 3 weeks with absolutely NO alcohol at all, and even though it was tough at times, I feel much better for doing it. I believe that cutting out excessive alcohol consumption has also helped with other goals of getting in shape. I have curtailed my drinking to only on Saturday nights and the occasional light beer one day during the week.
*Accomplished - Ongoing* - Spend less money on frivolous items/ keep all bills current, or paid early (Stick to budget)
- Somewhat forced into this one due to the way the economy is going, however have been much more concious of just going to the store and buying this for $2 and that for $2 as it all adds up. I have been much more on top of my bills as well inspite of having several car problems pop up in the last few weeks that cost way more than I wanted to spend. This is obviously something that needs to just continue and become an easy habit to stick to.
*Accomplished - Ongoing* - Read more books
- This one is an easier one to accomplish since I don't have easy access to TV shows on a daily basis. Reading at night instead of spending endless hours glued to the television set has expanded my mind and brought me to places that TV never could. Since I have been using RTD more frequently - this also gives me extra time to read in the mornings and evenings when I would normally be sitting in traffic in my car frustrated and stressed out.
One author I am absolutlely in love with and can't stop reading recently is Patricia Cornwell and her Scarpetta Novels!
Phew, that is a fairly good list for only being in the first week of March! I am very proud of the things that I have accomplished and will be continuing with over the entire year. However, my S.O. has brought up a valid point... now that I have obtained some of these goals, it is time to add on some new ones. I will contemplate these new goals and hope to post a newer list next week. :)
