I wasn't really sure if I wanted to join in when I first read
Cheri's email inviting me to join her for Cathy Zielske's
FIT 2016 workshop. Some of you may remember that several years ago I participated in Cathy's Move More, Eat Well workshop at BPC and
didn't find it extremely helpful. However, after checking out the course page and reading Cathy's goal "to support and inspire you on your path to better overall health and fitness," I decided to jump in and give it a try. I'm excited that
Cheri and
Karen and
Alexa and
Alison are also in the class. Plus, this class is perfect to help me with
my focus goals of MOVE and LEARN this year.
The class has lots of digital and printable materials for creating a mini-album of our FIT journey this year, however I'm simply planning to create one page each month that I'll put into my calendar/planner. I modified one of Cathy's templates and resized some of the cards to create the front side of my page. (Like Cheri, I wasn't sure about putting the numbers out there, but they are what they are and I'm thinking this will be an additional motivation to stay on track this year.) I included a photo of me heading out for a walk with Robbie on New Year's Day.
I'm planning to write in my MOVE focus(es) for the month, which I shared in
a previous post. The backside of my page is simply a journaling page where I'm planning to journal my thoughts on Cathy's monthly video and the questions she asks (What do you want? and What is your plan? for this month) and/or other things I want to record about my journey this year.
I also have another of those
Daily Goal Trackers that I'm using to track the number of minutes I exercise each day. Here's what it looks like so far!
I know I can make the necessary changes to lose weight and get healthier this year, and I'm excited to be off to a great start and to have some friends along for the journey. Anyone else joining us in FIT this year?
Will be cheering you girls on!

ReplyDeleteI'll be cheering you all on! Go for it!
ReplyDeleteSo excited to be doing this together. I feel like having a support group might make a huge difference in how I approach it this year!
ReplyDeleteAdd me to cheering squad - maybe I can burn a few calories from the sideline too.
ReplyDeleteI'll be cheering you along too. Do you read Jo's blog? She's on s journey of fitness too and she's so inspiring http://buckinghamspalace.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1
ReplyDeleteSo glad you joined us! We've all got individual paths and needs, but I am sure that the support of blog friends is going to make this supportive for us all :).
ReplyDeleteI am doing the FIT class too. I have enjoyed reading your blog this weekend. Love your attitude! Have a great week
ReplyDeleteI'm on a journey to better health as well. I have been since July and I find it challenging, frustrating and depressing at times but know it'll be worth whatever year I reach my goals. Funny,reaching my activity minutes per day is never an issue. I usually have 60-95 but the food aspect is really hard for me. Good luck, Melissa!
ReplyDeleteI thought about the FIT class but decided I had enough on already. So I'll join in with the cheering you all on :)
