Hello everyone it's been awhile since I've been here. The end of April my dad unexpectedly passed away. I've spent the last 6+ weeks eating crap comfort foods and watching WAY more TV than ever. I've nearly lost all of the progress I had made, my clothes are getting tight again, I don't like the way I feel, and want to change all that around. I recently discovered my workplace gym offers wellness coaching that can focus on any aspect of wellness such as physical, nutritional, social, emotional, financial etc. I met for the consult on Saturday and was put on a waitlist to start coaching to help me keep motivated. I met for a small group placement consult this morning for small group training. This consists of groups of 2-4 people meeting with a trainer once per week for 6 weeks and is a free service offered by my gym (I wish I would have known about it when I started a year ago!!). Anyway the group I was placed with only had one time available that would work with my work schedule and my traveling home every weekend I am able to, and it starts at 5am. Lord help me, that is early! The training starts 6/24 and the wellness coach at my consult recommended I take some basics classes to learn equipment I am unfamiliar with before I start training.

 

Goal #1 (this is split for before and after small group training starts)

part 1 a:Go to three basics classes before start of training

b: Complete NF bodyweight workout twice per week until start of training.

c: Use stair master twice per week until group training.

In August I will be going on a camping trip along the north shore of Minnesota for my 30th birthday. Part of the trip is to see Devil's Kettle, there are about 200 stairs to climb to see it.

part 2: Small group training once per week, two additional workouts each week

Goal #2 Go for one hike per week.

Goal #3 No fast food

Goal #4 Study for continence certification exam

I'll have time to study between waiting between training and start of work and waiting for the bus.

Sorry to hear about your dad. It's never easy losing a loved one and just as easy to be sent into a tailspin. It sounds like you are pulling yourself up and moving which is good. 

 

I love the North Shore. It is one of my favorite places ever and if it weren't for my hubby's job I'd live as close as possible to it. Have you been to Devil's Kettle before? It's amazing. It's funny, I was just looking at the website the other day thinking I should take my teens to see it.

 

Good luck on your challenge.

I'm sorry to hear about you losing your dad. It's little wonder health and fitness took a backseat for a while but good on you for getting back into it. I hope you enjoy your camping trip (and I also hope you post pics so I can live vicariously  ) and good luck in your exam. 

I'll be following your challenge, have a good one!

I wake at 5am to exercise.  What time do you have to wake up to get there for 5?

Oh my, that is very early to be there and ready to train. But it sounds like at least they are setting you up to succeed eg with the basic classes to learn the equipment.
