First Taping

I just found my video camera and my AC adapter. I recorded myself "raw" for my first video journal for my weight loss program. I was watching my footage from summer 2004. It is so incredible how amazingly fit I was. I did two minutes of intense jumping jacks and was able to hold a conversation WHILE I was doing it. I also mentioned in the footage that I had brought my mile run time down from 12 minutes to 8:20! That is pretty awesome. I know that I am going to do a time trial to register where I am in my cardiovascular health now so that I know how much I am improving.

I am listening to Scott Tousignant from www.thefitchic.com. He is sharing how to "Get your butt to the gym." Sign up for the FREE mp3. It's worth a listen of how to approach your fitness goals, how to maintain your motivation, the different types of workouts for efficacy and so much more. I really like is speaking style. There are quite a few fitness trainers that have teleseminars, podcasts, etc. that have the best information, but their speaking style is in the toliet. This is such an important part of success for anyone who is sharing information with a large audience. Anyway, back to the reason for the post.

I am excited that I took action today regardless of the fact that I was so far off track from obtaining my eating goals. I am proud that I took an initial step in tracking my progress to my goal. It's about mastery, not about perfection.

It is really important for me to record my goals and objective, my action steps and my plan on video. I think that it will make a difference in my personal motivation and allow me to revisit my enthusiasm for my plan regularly. By having it on film, I will be able to see, hear, feel and know where I started and where I am going.

My Objective: to be added!
