Follow my struggles and triumphs as I attempt to gain a healthy lifestyle. |
| Being employed again is great. However, there is a certain degree of adjustment that needs to take place. Right now my schedule is crazy and until July 11th it will remain to be hectic. I am hoping that once my friend returns back to Illinois I can adopt to my new schedule and find a time to blog. One thing I like about my new job is that they know that success begins and ends with their employees. They go out of their way to show their employees that they are appreciated and also guide them to grow into better individuals. Yesterday we had a meeting about writing down dreams and achieving them. They called them dreams, but really they were saying goals. I have always felt goals are important because without goals you have no focus and just aimlessly glide through life. A while back I posted a 2 part blog with my reasons I felt experts were wrong. I disagreed with the experts on how you should set the goals. Since that post my views have mildly changed. I used to believe that you should never use a time table, because that could become very stressful, especially if your goal is more difficult to achieve than you thought it would be when you made it. After going to my meeting yesterday I realized that is ok to put a time table on certain goals. If your goal is something that you can easily control, than it's ok to have a deadline. For example, wanting to pay off your credit cards by a certain date, as long as it's reasonable, is ok. I would not set a deadline with a weight loss goal and to be honest I would not even set a weight loss goal. Weight loss is a result, as in you have NO control of how quickly or slowly it comes off. Everyone has a different metabolism and lose weight at different speeds. I would suggest making goals that you can control like how many servings of fruit and veggies you consume in a day. You can control what you put in your mouth and if consistent enough, you will lose weight. Tune in tomorrow when I will talk about a few instances that have happened to me in the last week and the adjustments I have made. I think I have started something that could be great! |
