 Hi
everyone and Happy New Year!
Have you
ever thought about making a resolution around
this time of year? This is a great time to
set goals and make changes in your life.
Well, I thought I would let you in on one of my
resolutions and show you how Mental Management
can help you to reach yours. I am 62 years
young but I am severely overweight and I am
ready to do something about it. I have
visited my doctor, had a battery of exams and he
is monitoring my weight loss
plan. I have had an evaluation with
a personal trainer (Randall
Hunt) and he has informed me that I
need to gain strength and he has put me on a
program to do just that. So, I plan to use
some Mental Management
techniques to aid me in the process of
losing over 50 pounds during the next 12 months
and I thought I would keep you informed in the
meantime on my progress.
Losing
weight for someone my age might be one of the
most difficult things a person can do, I
have tried to drop pounds before with little
success but I am determined to succeed this time
by going all out in the process. I will
use 3 proven techniques that we teach to achieve
my goal. 1 - Mental Management
Goal Getting, 2 - Directive Affirmations
and 3 - Accountability to
others.
I have set a goal to weigh
169 pounds or less by the end of 2009. At
the beginning of my goal I weigh 219. I
plan to lose at least 1 pound a week for 50
weeks. I have determined that I can lose
at least one to 1.5 pounds a week if I can keep
my caloric intake under
1700 calories a day and exercise as
planned. Please do not attempt this
without supervision by professionals. I am
also taking Nutrilite XX vitamins and drinking 8
full glasses of water each day. I have
found a website on the Internet that will allow
me to document all of the daily intake of food
and exercise. I have chosen Lance
Armstrong's site at www.livestrong.com.
Check it out. It is free and full of
helpful information. There is even a free
application for your IPhone if you have
one.
I have written a Directive
Affirmation and I
have posted it in 5 key points around my
home. One copy is on my refrigerator door,
one is on the pantry door, on is on my computer
monitor, one is on my bathroom mirror and one is
on the chest of drawers in my closet. I
will imprint this directive affirmation at lest
10 times per day over the next 21
days.
Here is my Directive
Affirmation:
I am on my way to
becoming physically fit. I feel great, look
great and I have extended my life. I
record what I eat and what I exercise on my
website at www.livestrong.com daily and I keep
my net calorie intake below
1700 calories a day. I exercise on my
elliptical keeping my heart rate over 130 beats
per minute for at least 15 minutes and do my
isometrics daily. I am on my way to
becoming physically fit.
I
will upgrade these exercises as my trainer and
doctor recommends. At this rate I should
reach my goal on time. I plan to keep you
updated on my progress of losing 50 pounds of
excess, unwanted, unhealthy, useless,
energy-burning, ugly, FAT!!!!! I hope you
will keep me in your prayers, hold me
accountable and encourage me. If you are
overweight perhaps you would care to join me on
my journey. I promise to encourage you if
you will send me an email describing your goal
to lose weight. I know we can do this
together with Gods help. God bless us one
and all. --Lanny Bassham info@mentalmanagement.com
