This week I learned:
- Mindset plays a bigger role than any gadget or fitness tool out there -> It's the foundation off which all great achievements occur. An "I can" attitude is hard in fitness
- Wellness planners differ to match different goals and assist with mindset -> Touching, feeling and flipping through the pages is a better strategy than buying onlinw
- Some options I found: https://www.health.com/fitness/fitness-journals
- A support system is necessary when health, fitness and women's bodies are always under scrutiny (Isaacs, 1)
- It took me some time to get into the groove of remembering to write in my planner and why I started this journey. It's helped train my mind and shift from a fixed to growth mindset. I have learned from mistakes to try again and keep trying to improve (Dweck, 15)
Troubles:
- I struggled to make good food choices
- I would forget at times how much water I had had
Before the Next Genius Hour:
- Quantify my weight loss
- See how my mindset, feelings and emotions have changed
- Stand more! Making use of my standing desk especially during long classes is key
Questions I Have:
- What does research say about using fitness tools to document and encourage fitness goals? -> I hope to use databases to see any reputable journals talking about this
Where I Go From Here:
- Continue meal prepping
- Reduce junk food snacking time
- Drink more water before meals!
