My Commitment to Physical Health

As a continuation of yesterday's post on making conscious commitments using the Results Proces, here is one Results Process I have completed:

Result: By the end of summer, I will have lost 20 pounds and feel energized, strong, and healthy.

Intention: I am important and valuable, and I matter. I want to be healthy, to give all I can in my life with energy and vitality. I want to be fit, lean, strong, and sexy. I want my body to be a representation of my will, my health, my power and beauty. I want to be alive and well through old age, and I want to be an example for my children. I want energy and joy.

Visualize: I can see me being slim, muscular, and energetic. I am wearing a smaller clothes size and am lovin' the way I look. I am moving with grace and vitality.

Action:

1. I will get up at 6:30am six days per week to either run or kettlebell and do ITP (a practice of body movements, stretching, deep relaxation and meditation).
2. I will go to bed by 10:30-11pm.
3. I will do the Atkins diet-- I will do the Induction phase until I see some signs of weight loss.
4. If diet continues to not bring progress, I will notice the messages from my body and take steps to understand what else is going on. Is it my thyroid? Do I need iodine? Is my copper IUD a problem? Should I talk to a doctor?
5. I will continue my life choice of eating nutrient-rich, good quality foods. I will incorporate more raw and fermented foods into my diet, as well as kelp, salt, bone broth, liver, fish and fat.
6. I will notice when I am stressed and take steps to be relaxed in my life-- breathing, resting, stopping, being calm and present, connecting with my kids and Matt and friends.

Support: Matt and my support partners MC and Christina.

Does anyone have other ideas for understanding and dealing with a body that is not losing weight?
