New Years Resolutions

It’s the one time each year we sit back and take stock of the past years events. Look at what we can change to make our lives less stressful, healthier, happier, safer. Whether you set yourself a challenge, a new years resolution, a plan of action, there needs to be an end goal. Sometimes we set ourselves goals that are so high, and quite often unrealistic within the timescale set, that all we end up doing is getting so stressed about the whole thing we end up throwing the towel in. Back to square one and another year passes.

Now I’m not saying New Years Resolutions are a waste of time, totally the opposite…. It’s a great way to re focus and start the new year with a positive mindset and many people achieve their goals. It’s how we go about achieving our end goal that will determine the outcome. Take weight loss for instance, probably one of the most popular new years resolutions. Setting an unrealistic goal in such a short space of time could be the difference between success and failure.

How I encourage my online groups to tackle their weight loss goals is to take it in bite sized chunks. An end goal is in sight but we need to look at how we get there without being overwhelmed or miserable in the process. What are the things that take us away from our weight loss goals from better health. Is there a habitual pattern we can recognise that often sends us off track and into mindless eating or loss of motivation.

So we journal, brain dump and create a huge list and then break the list down to find ways we can tackle the obstacles step by step. Setting daily simple challenges such as hydration, sleep care, no snacking, 10,000 steps, 15 minutes fitness, are all habits we can start ingraining over time to help reach our weight loss goals.

Taking each day as a new day with a new goal, each week as a new week…. That way, over time new habits will form and we get further to our end goal. It’s not a race, Rome wasn’t built in a day, The Tortoise always wins over the Hare. So if you fall off track with your goals, sit back reflect, write a list and re-focus.

Class Updates

Firstly apologies to anyone who thought Fitness Pilates was cancelled last night, it was on but the notice hadn’t been removed from the website.

All classes are running next week and Farleigh golf Club isn’t available so we will be at different venues this week

Weds class was so busy I have arranged to split Wednesdays class into two 50 minute sessions. Everyone who came this week has indicated which class they will be attending and it’s a pretty even split so thanks for that. For anyone else planning to come Wednesday there will be a 9.15am and 10.00am class running both at St Ambrose church (tbc), Warren Road Warlingham. Mondays class will run as one class, 9.30am in Warlingham Village Hall, opposite the Horseshoe.

Clothing Order

The order goes off this evening so should be with us by the end of next week.

I’ve really enjoyed this programme, having done the 4 week lift lean in Jan which was really quite strict with the food and intense with the daily workouts I’ve actually seen better results this time around.

I like having a choice of workouts as if I’m not keen on doing one 2/3 times through I just pick an alternative to make up the time. Like you Malinda I found it difficult to keep up with the workouts every day what with two young kids and work 4 days a week. I didn’t beat myself up if I didn’t do it this time though as I knew that if I got to class a couple of times a week and kept on top of the eating I could at the very least maintain the weight.

Hi Lindsay, the Elevate program has been a hit for me. I’ve enjoyed the different options each week. Wednesday nights class was a challenge but a good one. I also liked the daily choice of online exercises. Results for me were 3kg weight & 4.5 ins loss.

I’m ready for my trip to Australia to visit my son ✈️?❤️. Sorry but won’t be back to class till November ?.
Thanks again Lindsay for your encouragement, endless energy & support xx

Malinda Young

I lost 2lb in weight and 5.5 inches in total. I’m really pleased with the inch loss but was hoping for a few more pounds to have gone! However I’m pleased because it’s still a loss.

I had gestational diabetes in both pregnancies, so I’m high risk to develop type 2 at some point during the rest of my life. I’m not going to let this happen so Elevate/Lindsay has helped get my mindset on track for this. Having ‘wiggle room’ and not beating myself up about it is such a positive thing- allowing myself this has actually meant I’ve got back on track again much quicker than I would usually.

I love my fitness pal and will keep it up mon-fri, the daily coaching from Lindsay was invaluable and set me up for the day in the right mindset.
I wasn’t fab at the daily workouts but did add more daily walks in, regular daily small changes is the way forward for me

Loved having a different theme each week too. The most challenging for me was to eat varied meals and to post in the group..

Thanks so much Lindsay, looking forward to the November Elevate

Nicola Bleinham

My measurements and weight stayed the same, however, overall I feel less bloated and more toned and my clothes feel looser.

I didn’t really want to lose too much weight, just tone up and I feel that I have achieved this. I also feel that my digestion problems are more under control now I eat cleaner and I think I have a better understanding on the food that triggers my ibs cramps.

Paula Trainer

I’m definitely more alert & my energy levels have improved. My sleep as also improved.

I found the daily coaching really useful. Maybe 7am is too early for some. It was okay for me as I’m at work by 7, but maybe 7.30am better. I definitely think mornings are better.

I’ve booked on the November course so my goal is to continue with food food protocol that works best for me, along with tracking my inch loss. I’ve decided not to track my weight as it’s left me really disappointed each week.

Thanks for your support Lindsay Williams

Joanna Soltu

So excited as I approach the end of the programme. Have lost 4lbs and although I didn’t take accurate body measurements at any point during the programme, I know I have lost mass as I can now fit into clothing that I couldn’t before!

I’m feeling a lot fitter and more energetic and I am determined to keep up the regular exercise. Have also bought myself several keto recipe books to ensure I stay focused and motivated to keep going as I am loving the variety and naturalness of the food. Thanks Lindsay x

Nicola
