Here is my July Action Plan!

ENVISION:

My best month would be to lose 10 pounds and to fulfill all of my obligation; including my own personal “wants” or goals. I give to everyone around me but not to myself for my inner most desires.

DECIDE:

Three goals

· Physical = Be able to bike 50 miles at one time by the end of the month (without killing myself) but also challenging myself in completing the 50 miles within 3.5 hours (making it roughly 14 mph). When I ended my ‘season’ last year, I was riding a comfortable pace of 12 and sometimes reaching 16-17.

· Nutritional = Log my food in the Weight Watchers journal…for every bite of food!

· Spiritual = Time alone / meditate at least twice a week for the month.

COMMIT:

Physical: 1. Ride my bike three times a week; increasing the mileage each time

2. Stretch for 20 minutes after each ride (very important!)

3. Walk at least three times a week during lunch for cross-training

4. Stay hydrated

5. Plan my rides in advance on a weekly basis

For the week of July 4^th: Ride on Wed evening, Fri evening, Sat morning

Nutritional: 1. Eat at least 2-3 servings of fruit/veggies a day

2. Go to Verizon for “space” to download WW to phone for easier “on the go” logging

3. Take a picture of each meal (to stay accountable & jog my memory when logging)

4. Drink at least 10 glasses of water a day

5. Plan my dinners for nights that I have class (so I don’t eat chex mix & m&m’s)

Spiritual: 1. Stay present during my time alone

2. Be silent during this time

3. Don’t do anything

4. Remain in this state for at least 15 minutes

5. Plan ahead!

SHARE:

I will be posting information on my blog and linking it to FB (so I don’t clog up my friends news feed)!
