Last year, I made several goals for myself, 32 to be exact. Out of those I only accomplished 21. Some I surpassed, some I came close, some I achieved only to hold onto for a short time and still others I completely dropped the ball on! But 21 out of 32 is descent I suppose if compared to most other people who never even set goals, but I’m comparing myself to my potential right now, and I know I can do far better. So I looked back at what really held me back - and it was ME! It was those small and almost unseen bad habits I’ve somehow developed over time that need breaking!
And, if you’re so inclined to read on, please come and join me in making some changes in behavior for 2010. Here are my 3.5 Changes (NOT Goals!) For Next Year that I’ll be making:
1. Food: Self Discipline is one area that I can exercise tremendous amounts of energy for almost an eternity…if I want to. (You’re the same way I’m sure.) When it comes to working out and pushing myself beyond normal thresholds, I have great self disciple. When it comes to learning something I am interested in, I can get almost obsessive until I know the subject like the back of my hand. But lately, when it comes to eating food, I can become a human garbage disposer on the weekends!!
Over a decade ago, I created a healthy lifestyle which included a certain blueprint for eating food so that I would be able to eat healthy all week long and then a have a day on the weekend, Saturday, where I could eat some junk food like ice cream and pizza. This way the majority of what I eat is fuel for training, but I won’t feel as if I am restricted or starving myself. It worked extremely well for many years, but the past 2 years or so, there are times when Saturday becomes “Fatterday” and Sunday becomes “Funday.”
Well, 2010 is where I turn back the clock to when I first started this lifestyle and get back on track with my food intake. Are you with me?
Here’s how it works: Sunday through Friday, eat 4-6 clean, healthy and energy-based meals. Be sure NOT to skip breakfast and ALWAYS have your after-workout meal too. Then on Saturday, relax and enjoy yourself with some burgers and fries, or a pizza. Then Sunday morning, start fueling up again!
Soon, I'll be posting the other CHANGES FOR 2010!!
