It was a better week for yours truly. I dropped those 2 LBS that I put back on. That's good. I am still really struggling to be consistent again though. That's not so good.
I did enough this week to drop a few, although there is still much work that needs to be done. If I do what I have been doing for the past two weeks, I am not going to be successful. I can not be trading lbs back and forth here.
On a scale of 1-10, I turned it back up to about 6.5 this week, but I need to be functioning pretty consistently at 9, with occasional visits to 10-ville! I also need this one to go to 11 sometimes too! I can't function always at 11 without burning out, but I need to spike up there from time to time.
I have been wavering in my intensity, and I need to get, what Dave Ramsey calls, Gazelle intense! Dave talks about intensity specifically in getting yourself out of debt and building wealth. I generalize his concept to just about anything. Here though, I am referring to the intensity I need to have, to get and stay fit! (If you have not read any of Dave's books or listened to his radio show, you should. I think he's a genius!)
Sometimes, Dave talks about cheetahs and gazelles. The cheetah is the fastest animal on earth. As fast as 70 to 75 mph at top speed. Cheetahs love to eat gazelles. They hunt them and you would think they get them most of the time, being MUCH faster and all. Here's the hic-up in the giddy-up. Most of the time, the gazelle gets away. Gazelles have learned that the cheetahs strength is running in straight-line and gazelles bob and weave and run in circles so the cheetah gets tiered and gives up the dream. The gazelle is crazy intense because if the cheetah catches it, it is lunch. It runs like its life depends on it, because it does!
That is intensity!
I appreciate that you read my blog because this blog keeps me motivated. I do not like reporting to all of you that I did not lose weight any given week, or worse, like last week, that I gained. I get all jazzed up to report that I am feeling fitter and that I am dropping LBS! I value this blog and I hope you get something out of it too.
This week, I am going to remind myself that I need to get Gazelle Intense! I will not succeed in my goal unless I do!.
Take away for this week: Take stock in the intensity in which you are going after your goals. If your intensity fluctuates, as mine has been doing, your results with fluctuate too. It takes courage to be able to say, "Am I not working hard enough on this?" Be sure to pat yourself on the back for the hard work you are doing, then find out what is in your way of being Gazelle Intense and jack up your intensity. Make sure you are Gazelle Intense in a way that is fun, or you will quickly become Cheetah Kibble. I, for one, have no interest in being kibble. I choose to bob and weave like my life depends on it. In some real ways, it does.
Have a great week!
