febYOUary: an 18 day guide connecting YOU with your health

February 3, 2013

** This is not a “live” series going on in 2014. This was done last year as a community on the site but will not be for 2014. You are more than welcome to do it on your own!**

Many of you know that I took January off and didn’t do much with the blog but it’s time to ramp it back up! I’m easing us into things though with this month’s focus. It’s called, “febYOUary: an 18 day guide connecting YOU with your health”

I am convinced that there are loads of people going about their health blindly. Sure, they are starting great programs created by successful trainers and nutritionists but somewhere along the way, something doesn’t work. The exact plan isn’t going…..as planned. We find ourselves in that never ending crazy cycle of excitement —> reality —> disappointment.

So in an effort to prevent you (or lessen) from entering that crazy cycle, I want to help you out. I want to take you through a process of finding out where you are to get you where you need to be, after all, how can we change what we don’t know?Β We will take into consideration your current status, what motivates you, blocks you and much more! So get ready for your Β “state of the union”–or “state of the YOUnion”, if you will . πŸ™‚

febYOUary: an 18 day guide to connecting YOU with your health: www.claresmith.me

β™₯β™₯β™₯

Week 1: Physical Assessment

We are going to be journaling! This will be the hardest week, so get ready.I want us to journal not only what we are eating,drinking, and how much you are moving but also other physical factors such as sleep, cravings, and stress. I want you to commit for 1 week, but if you can, I’d prefer that you do this as best as you can, for the 18 days as 7 days in a month may not be a good reflection of how we are doing.

Week 2: Personality Assessment

Β This is perhaps the most overlooked factor in finding a fitness plan that works for you. I’m going to be asking you a few questions about your motivators , roadblocks, resources,history etc to help you sort out what types of things keep you going and make you stop.

Week 3: Spiritual Assessment

You know I can’t get away with a challenge without this aspect! I see very strong connections with physical and spiritual health. I’m going to take you through some questions to see if you can find any relationship to them.

As we move into March, you should have better insight as to what works for YOU. I am a big believer that there is no one boxed plan that works for every person or every family. We are all each so unique with different histories, hangups, and highs. If you are looking to have a quick fix, then I am not the fitness site for you. I want you to find a workout plan that is SUSTAINABLE for your life. And looking further into each of these will help!

(If you already have a good plan going in regards to eating and moving, then I’d still love to have you join! I think it’s always good to evaluate what we are doing and see if there are any ways we can improve or change!)

WARNING: This won’t be glamourous. It isn’t going to give you results in 3 weeks. It’s a bit tedious and it may be painful. But I promise that you’ll walk away with some great insight and a strong foundation for your best health plan!

So here’s what you need to do for our start, Monday, February 11th:

1.) Figure out which food journaling program you are going to use. I will be using MyFitnessPal (which you can do online or with a phone app) or you can go old school and write it down in a journal! (I will also be supplementing one additional printable for you that I will have next week)

2.) If you have an activity tracker that you can wear, such as a FitBit, Nike Fuelband, or Jawbone Up (to name a few), then get it out! And if you’ve always been wanting one, now is your chance to get one! (If you don’t own one and don’t plan on purchasing one, no problem. You can guesstimate!)

3.) Ask a friend to join! It’s always better to walk through a journey with someone than alone!

*Keep your workout/eating plan normal for this month. You can veer as you normally might, but for the most part, no drastic changes.

Are you in? If so, leave me a comment below! See you back here next week!

    I’m in! I’ve been wanting to start a program but haven’t made the commitment for whatever reason. I just seem to wander aimlessly. I have good intentions, which doesn’t count for much until they are put into action. But because the intelligence is lacking or limited (as you put it “going about our health blindly”) I may not (and have not) been able to achieve the action (or results) that I intended to accomplish in the first place. So, as you can see, I desperately need to complete this month’s challenge and ( so far πŸ˜‰ I’m excited about doing it!!

    You will never understand how timely this post was for me. At the risk of too much information, I’m going to share where i’m at and see if i can’t find me a couple of friends to start this jounrney with. Been dieting on and off since I was 15. Now 36 and not massively overweight but a stubborn 30 pounds which just won’t disappear! Tried oh so many diets oh so many times, lose a stone, crave bread and chocolate, then inevitably back to square one! This post arrived just as I caved in to temptation on my latest attempt. To be honest I’m just boring myself talking about food 24/7. I’ve made the spiritual/body connection but so far still no progress. Thank you in advance for this challenge!! x

    I have a fairly good plan and love myfitnesspal and sparkpeople but am liking LoseIt better so I will be logging there and on paper. Maybe need to find me some pages to print out for that since I like that sort of thing. Hubby wants to buy me a fitness tool and am thinking about fitbit as I have only used a stopwatch and a pedometer in the past. I guess that would do it all?

    I’ve been maintaining my goal weight for 7 years this month and this challenge starts on my birthday…so this will be a way cool way to celebrate and shake off some boredom and discover how to make the fitness side of things fit my life a bit better. I may be half the woman (literally) that I once was but still feel there is much to learn both physically and spiritually!

    I’m in!! This actually sounds like exactly what I need right now. And, it is such a God thing too because I was just praying about the health struggles I am having this morning.

    All in – already been using MyFitnessPal and love seeing the nutrients I need to focus on with my remaining calories. Training for a June triathalon – my first!

    I’m in! Your challenge last fall really helped me to focus and kept me going with my exercise routine when I normally wouldn’t have. I need to get back into a routine since the holidays, a move, and starting grad school has thrown me completely off! Thank you for this!!

    I’m in! So excited. I deemed February as “Get Fit Feb” in my house! Not just for myself, but for my kiddos. I tossed all junk and replaced with healthy snacks, so if they decide they want something, I’m no longer fussing at them for what is in the cabinet. I personally started working out again. I have three kids (7,5,2) and a deployed husband. We have been sick alot this year (flu, strep, rsv) and I decided I cannot let those roadblocks keep me from fitness. Maybe they keep me out of the gym, but not from working out. πŸ™‚ Looking forward to your assessment and insight in the next few weeks!

    I am in! I have started journaling my food and activity. Trying to decide on the best website to use as I don’t have a smart phone. I also want to get an activity tracker, but I don’t know which one is best. Any suggestions?

    I am late to the game – but count me in! I have a marathon in two months and need to get my eating back on track majorly. The whole “I’ll burn all these calories off on my next long run” isn’t cutting it in regards to long-term health!

    I’m in!

    I’ve been on this journey towards health for about a year now. I started slowly; exercising a couple days a week, then worked on water intake. Now I’m working on sleep and eating habits as well as additional cardio.

    I recently got a Fitbit and started using My Fitness Pal last month. Both have been eye opening (especially for sleep!). They have also been a great motivation to press on towards goals in each area (Food, water, exercise and sleep).

    I truly love your heart towards fitness and your approach in coaching others. Thank you for sharing your gift with us so that we can all join in on the progress!
