So let's jump into this week's weigh-in workshop topic and how my week went along with some goals for moving into February. So I want to share with you guys a little bit about my week. So it was an interesting week to say the least. As you know, I have a goal of three times of Jazzercise per week. Well, that has been a little bit of a challenge, unfortunately, over the course of this last week. So Saturday morning, I got up, got dressed, drove to Jazzercise, pulled in the parking lot, waited for the instructor to show up and all of a sudden I see the instructor's car and out pops her husband. We'll come to find out. She had a diabetic reaction and wasn't able to teach the class so it was canceled. I tried to get in on another class on Saturday, but due to the five-person limit, there wasn't anything available. So I missed my workout on Saturday, but I thought that's okay. I'll go Tuesday night as always. So Tuesday night, I go to give my new clients the key to their new home and then I head to Jazzercise and as I'm driving there, I get a text and the instructor had the second COVID vaccine and wasn't feeling very well so she canceled Tuesday night's class as well. So I actually have not been able to do Jazzercise since last Friday. So that's very unlikely for me. I just wasn't able to fit in another day, Wednesday or Thursday. I'm actually going to Jazzercise today and tomorrow, but it's been a week today. So that kind of threw me off a little bit this last week. I really missed my Jazzercise and getting in that activity and it just throws off my whole system for the week. Other than Jazzercise being kind of a dud, I had a decent week in food. There were a couple of days that I was over my points and calories. I just, it threw me off and I know that that's not an excuse, but sometimes when our routine is changed or adjusted, it can really just throw everything off. But I'm not completely disappointed in my week. I think overall I had a decent week. So moving into this next week, of course I will be at Jazzercise my three days providing everything goes well with the instructors and my goal for the month of February is to have perfect weeks the entire month. That means one high point and high calorie day per week. That is it. Every other day I want to commit to staying within my points and calories because I want to see a good loss for the month of February. It's a short month, so I'd like to come out at the end with a stellar, stellar weight loss. So that's kind of my goals moving into February as well as a little bit of a recap of my week. So I want to talk to you guys a little bit about this week's WW workshop. This week we talked about a fixed mindset and kind of how to overcome that or in a sense talk back to our fixed mindset. So we can either have a fixed mindset or growth mindset. So what's the difference? A fixed mindset means we believe that everything is set in stone and cannot and will not change. And with a growth mindset, we believe that things can change and evolve. Definitely a growth mindset is far more beneficial for us when it comes to a healthy lifestyle. So we're going to talk today how we can transition from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset and therefore be a little bit more successful. It'll help you respond to setbacks and to really conquer new experiences. So the first thing we need to do is take notice of when we actually have a fixed mindset. So an example of this is I'd really like to move more but I don't know if I'll ever do it or what I'm supposed to do. So this is an example of having a fixed mindset. Things are never going to change. You're never going to reach your goal. It's that is just how it is and it's not able to evolve or change. So number two is we want to talk back to ourselves with a growth mindset. And an example of this would be is it really set in stone that I won't be able to move more because I've been able to try new things in the past and have been successful. And the third thing is transitioning over to that growth mindset. An example with some effort, I'll be able to move more. Maybe I'll try a fit on workout in the WW app. Maybe I'll hop onto YouTube and see what types of videos are free for me, whether that be yoga, hit, step aerobics, I'm able to try new things and I'm going to be able to be successful. So I really like this topic. I think it's extremely relevant in a lot of aspects of life. The key takeaways of this are to think about a time when you said I'm not good at this, I can't do this, I'm bad at this and transition that into something of growth. I can do this. I'm not as bad as I think that I am at this and I will do this. Notice when you're having a fixed mindset and essentially talk back to yourself and tell yourself that that's not the way that it is. You can definitely make changes and you can definitely experience and see growth. The more often you practice talking back to yourself and really thinking about it more of a growth mindset, the more successful that you're going to be and you won't hear yourself saying I can't, I won't or I'll never do this or that. So I like this topic. I actually can see myself using this in different areas of my life, whether it be professional, personal, family, weight loss, this can really go into effect in a lot of different areas. I know that I'm way harder on myself than I ever would be on any of you so I need to get out of that fixed mindset and really transition myself into the growth mindset. So good job on this week's topic, WW. So now let's jump into my way and I know that's what most of you are here for. So I told you guys about my workout dilemma. I told you about my food issues. So when I stepped on the scale today, I'm actually down but only 0.2. And I say only when I shouldn't say only. I'm down 0.2 and I'm really happy to see the scale move in the right direction. I've told you guys time and time again that I'm really not that concerned about the number on the scale or how much I lose every week. I just wanna see the scale move down, not up on a more regular basis. So I'm going to put right here how much I lost for the month of January. I lost every single week, all five weeks of the month. That's a huge win to me. And honestly, I wouldn't care if I would have lost 0.2 pounds all five weeks because guess what? That equals over an entire pound loss for the month. So I'm very happy with how January turned out but I'm setting a little bit of a goal for myself to beat my weight loss from January in February. So who's with me? Who wants to make February the shortest month of the year, the best month of the year? If that's you, make sure you leave it down in the comments and also let me know kind of how you're a week went. How did you do with your exercise, your water, your food when you stepped on the scale? Was it what you expected? Definitely let me know down in the comments.
