I am telling every one of you what my plan is for the next 4 months because accountability is huge when you know you?re taking on things that are difficult. Over the next 4 months, life is going to get pretty crazy (or should I say crazier?!).? Besides working full time, starting on August 27th, I?ll have a weekly MBA class. The awesome thing is, it?s my 2nd to last MBA class. The not so awesome thing is, it?s 4 hours on a Saturday morning and whatever homework/exams come with it. It?s 8 weeks, I can do it, right? Once that class ends in mid-October, my very last MBA class EVER starts. This one is gonna be a doozy and I know for a fact it will require a lot of work. This one is on a Tuesday evening. So after working all day, I will spend 4 hours of my evening in school. Again, it?s 8 weeks and nothing I haven?t done before. The tough part is, over the past 3 1/2 years of mentally draining MBA work, I?ve always taken 1 8 week class at a time ? not back to back. So I will have no mental break between these 2 classes. I?ll make it, but it?s gonna be hard and at least the end is near!
In addition, to school and working, I have a lot of really great goals and momentum going with my Beachbody business. I?ve come SO far since last year and now I?m really seeing how rewarding and fulfilling coaching, so I?m not stopping or putting this on the backburner! It?s just as important to me. And luckily, I have an amazing team of coaches who are very driven, and the world?s best success partner to work with to keep me motivated and to work with to help our teams together be successful. I write and re-write my why and it all comes down to working this hard so that I have TIME for myself, my husband, our future family; that we have financial security; and that I?m able to share my story of overcoming struggles with eating disorders, weight, self esteem issues, depression, and health issues with people to help them overcome their personal struggles.
Thirdly, I?m not stopping my group fitness classes! I?ve come a long way since last year when I was terrified to even step foot in a group fitness class to teaching now! So I?ll be teaching 2 nights a week. Hopefully, *cross your fingers*, I?ll be able to add a PiYo class! This class though, would have to be either during lunchtime or in the morning before work because I owe it to my husband to not be gone every single evening of the week.
Oh, and let?s not forget about my OWN workouts! Starting Monday, August 22nd, I start a P90X/Insanity hybrid. I am really excited about it, but it is a big time commitment! Luckily, I have a few girls that will be doing it with me, so we can support each other! In order to do this, I have to commit to morning workouts 3 times a week. I?ve come to the realization that no matter how hard I try, I do NOT do well with cardio workouts early in the morning. I tried with Insanity and just couldn?t give it my all. So I?ve decided to be realistic and give myself 2 days of cardio per week in the evenings, but the P90X strength workouts can be done in the morning. This is hard for me, because I LOVE sleeping in until the very last second possible. But I have to do it, it?s a big goal and I can do it.? There, I said it, it?s accountability and I?m doing it. This will take me through until late November and hopefully doing these workouts will help relieve the stress of EVERYTHING else we have going on!!
The only way that all of this is going to work is if I have a strong support system, good time management, plan everything, and give myself some time to breathe. Looking at it now, it?s really overwhelming! That?s why I?m putting it out there, and spending this weekend planning my workouts and my meals, and spending next week planning my time efficiently before my MBA class starts next weekend. I can do this, but I do know it?s going to be tough! But it?s okay ? I?ve come to love the challenge, and sometimes, I feel like having so much on my plate forces me to work harder and more efficiently.
Here?s my to do?s in order to succeed over the next crazy months:
- Buy a daily planner & schedule EVERYTHING effectively (and be realistic as well)
- Set specific, focused Beachbody business hours
- Morning workouts 3 days a week
- Use my lunch hour at work for homework and studying
- Have a loving, awesome, supportive husband who is willing to put up with my crazy dreams for 4 months ? CHECK!
- Sit down every week for 15 minutes and write down my reasons and my motivation?for doing everything that I?m doing
- Plan my meals & workouts on a weekly basis
- Use my time in my car commuting all over the place to listen to positive, personal development audio like Chalene?s Car Smarts
So that is it ? this is my accountability for the next 4 months. When times get tough, every one of you has permission to tell me that I?m doing all of these things for a GOOD reason and it is all worth it and that I?m strong and I can get through this. 4 months is not a long time and it will all pay off in the end. So that?s it ? permission to keep me in check and give me a pep talk when I need it.
Wow, it?s pretty scary & intimidating to share your goals with people because the last thing you want is to admit you didn?t hit your goal. But honestly, if you think big and you don?t limit yourself, you will succeed and you will improve. If you set big goals and you don?t hit that big goal, the worst that can happen is that you IMPROVE yourself and?know that you tried. So there ? I?m ready, it?s go time!
