Preseason Task 5 – Say It Out Loud

Well for this preseason task I have literally done what the name of the task says to do.

You can watch it here:

My commitment is to do the following three things for the twelve weeks of the program

Eat Clean

• stick to 1200 calories a day.
• track my calorie intake on myfitnesspal.
• only have food in the cupboard and fridge that have minimal ingredients on the ingredient list.
• give up alcohol for the twelve weeks.
• maintain my avoidance of diet soft drinks and cordials.  Can you believe that I have had no sweet cravings in 2012.
• have a stash of lovely food in the freezer.
• introduce the family to “Meat Free Monday”.
• and shhhhhh don’t tell Mr G and Miss G this – I’m going to start making tomato sauce from Organic Tomato Passata and a little sugar following the recipe in “The Sweet Poison Quit Plan”.

Train Mean

• work at moving from beginner to intermediate level of fitness by the end of the round.
• push myself a little harder each workout.
• believe I can do things rather than “try” to do things.
• follow Mish’s training plan for my level, and add in 3 x 30 minutes of ease into c25k program + a Zumba class each week.  I regard these two activities as hobbies – but of course I’ll be wearing my HRM while doing them. 😉
• start training for the Triathlon Pink in October.

Think Lean

• JFDI
• tell myself by saying no to the chocolate or sleep in or whatever, I’m saying yes to something far more important.
• get on the forums whenever I find myself being negative or doubting myself.
• watch the videos and listen to the podcasts – again and again!
• be hard on myself when I find I’m making excuses.

BRING ON MONDAY 13th FEBRUARY, 2012!
