Personal Evaluation
1. Which of the three reactions to the "yellow lights" do you most closely relate to in your weight loss journey? Why? I think I relate most to the analogy where the person hesitates first and then either guns it through the intersection or stops abruptly. I think that I spend too much time over-thinking this stuff, which leads me to hesitate first. I really want to consider if I'm doing things right or if I should be putting on the brakes and making changes first. Sometimes this is a problem, but othertimes it's useful for goal-setting and evaluating my progress.
2. Describe how you are focusing on your destination. I use events and timelines as encouragement to keep moving towards my destination. Things like overnight trips to Canmore with friends, Todd and Kelly's wedding in September, Joana's wedding next June?, Andrew and Heather's wedding next August, all motivate me to keep pursuing my goals and not letting them fall under the radar. I use these events as motivation to remain positive, optimistic, and committed to my lifestyle change. I can use these situations to fuel my desire and give myself 'mini' goals that are more attainable, and will allow me to see the progress I've made in a comparative way, rather than a numerical one.
3. How much attention are you paying to the "intersections" and "cautions" on the road to the TRUE YOU? How has this affected your progress? Sometimes I am completely oblivious to the intersections and cautions on this journey - this makes me too complacent and not serious enough about arriving at my destination in a timely fashion. I feel like sometimes I'm too passive about the journey and destination, and I pay little heed to moments to stop and reflect on my success - as well as regrouping to figure out where I went wrong and how to rectify it to best benefit my journey as a whole (here's where that hesitation from question 1 comes in handy...)
