I've been doing excellent with my food I've been choosing good whole healthy foods Made a huge difference and not only in how I'm feeling but my body in general in my inflammation has Substantially gotten better just the other day in my Facebook group and on my Instagram I posted this picture and this was about a month ago Versus a couple of days ago. My face has drastically drastically changed and a lot of that is from eating a more whole food diet and really Just eliminating a lot of the inflammatory in my diet. It's made a big big difference I feel it in my face. I feel it in my body. I just feel much better overall I'm about to start my medication my thyroid medication Which should be playing a big part in my overall weekly weight loss as well as making me just feel a little less fatigued and a little bit Better in general so I'm looking forward to getting started with that here in the next couple of days And things have just been going really really well. I'm very proud of myself for how I managed Christmas I did not indulge at all on New Year's. I mean honestly Full transparency. I was in bed by 8 o'clock. I'm very much more a morning person than a night person So I definitely didn't indulge. I didn't overdo it. I'm feeling really really good I feel really good getting started on my 2022 goals. Things are just going really well I'm very grateful and I'm very happy with how things are going But before I share with you this week's weigh-in I do want to talk with you about this week's WW workshop topic and this topic is got a goal Here's how to break it down Speaking of goals I know we've all set some type of goal or resolution or something that we want to achieve this year So I think this workshop topic is a perfect timing. Are you ready to tackle the new year? Are you ready to tackle a resolution? Make sure you're using what is known as the star technique to set doable Sustainable yet challenging goals. So what is the star method the s stands for specific the t stands for truly doable The a stands for active and they are stands for relevant. So let's break it down Let's start with s with it Which is specific in order for us to set a goal and achieve that goal that goal has to be specific Maybe your goal is to finish a 5k this year. Maybe you want to walk it Maybe you want to run it but your goal is you are going to finish a 5k So what you're going to do is you're going to walk around your block a specific loop around your neighborhood at least five days A week to train to effectively complete that 5k that is a very specific goal the 5k and what you're going to do to achieve it The t stands for truly doable now We want to set challenging goals But we also want to set goals that we can actually achieve Nothing is more frustrating than not being able to cheat or achieve any of the goals that you've set for yourself So back to that 5k maybe you love sleeping in on a good Saturday morning So your goal would be that you're going to take that walk on Saturday afternoon instead of Saturday morning So that it's truly doable for you you still get to sleep in but you still get in your walk the a stands for active So your goal has to have an action tied to it I love catching up on my favorite podcast on a Saturday morning So I will make sure that I listen to those while I take my walk on Saturday All tying back to that goal of finishing that 5k. This is your action item You're still going to enjoy your podcast, but you're going to enjoy that on your walk And they are stands for relevant by completing this 5k It's a great way for me to stay active and work my way up to bigger and better 5k 10k and 15k goals I really like the star method and I think it's important to utilize this whenever you're creating both big and small goals for yourself The new year always brings lots of excitement, but that can quickly fade I know when I used to work out at a regular gym not but before Jazzercise There would be this big influx of people joining the gym in January And then by mid-February to early March a lot of those people were gone That's because the new year brought excitement that quickly faded and they stopped coming to the gym stopped utilizing their membership Stop eating healthy We want to make sure that we're using the star method so that we don't fall into that trap so that we can keep the Excitement all year long and reach our goals not to mention the confidence boost from achieving a goal is Next level you can't beat how good it feels to reach your goals I mentioned that I have lots and lots and lots of goals for the new year and I'm very very excited to reach them Definitely, let me know down in the comments What are your goals for 2022 and how are you going to use the star method to reach those goals? Now it's the time you've all been waiting for my first and final weigh-in of the new year and my first weigh-in for the month of January like I mentioned things have been going really well I'm very proud of myself how I handled the holidays and the scale the scale did me some favors today When I hopped on the scale, I am down another 1.2 pounds which means Drum roll, please. I'm officially down 81 pounds 81 I surpassed with flying colors 80 pounds down and I have lost 81 pounds that Completely completely blows my mind. I mean it's even hard for me to wrap my head around 81 pounds it puts me so much closer to achieving my goal of hitting my goal weight in 2022 And I really feel like the way I've been eating and what I've been doing is working for me in so many ways Not just weight loss related but inflammation how my body feels how I feel every day. I'm really excited I am super super super proud of myself for hitting this goal This is a big big milestone and I'm really really excited to reach my goal weight this year I know I can do it. I know I can do it So again, I want to hear what your goals are what you think of the star method and of course how your week was Did you gain did you lose? Are you closer to reaching your goals?
