Chapter One

Week One

Why

Day #1

Your Reality Check

I'm so glad you are moving forward with the Fit Happens Journal. I hope my experience has given you the courage to complete Your Reality Check. In order to know where you are going, you have to know your personal starting point. Day #1 is all about you. This is your reality check.

Have you seen a picture that someone has taken of you and you didn't recognize yourself? I know I have. After seeing a recent picture from our vacation, I was upset with the person who took the picture for not telling me that I looked like that!

For Day #1, select someone to take your picture and your measurements. I would recommend you wear something fitted that you are comfortable wearing for this brief photo session. Also, I suggest the more skin you have showing, the better, so you can see your true starting point.

When having your picture and measurements taken, resist the temptation to hold in your stomach! Do not hold your breath! Do not wear baggy clothes! And, whatever you do, do not skip Day #1. This is the most important day!

It is time for you to see the real you! Trust me. My clients who opted to skip this initial step in their Fit Happens journey were later unhappy about not documenting their starting point. I would not want you to miss out on the joy this day will bring you when you reach your goal-especially when you are fit and trim and ready for your affair!

Day #2

Plan to Have an Affair

I know ... you are wondering why this self-help exercise guide is talking about having an affair. At this point, you probably thought I would have jumped into telling you to run three miles and eat a selection of low-fat, low-calorie, no-taste foods for Day #2, right? Wrong! I'm a real person and I'm going to share things I have done to get my mind and body in sync to get fit.

Now, let's get back to your future affair! It all depends on you. I'm talking about setting goals and finding out what you must do to reach your goals. By having an affair, you are identifying some type of event that is important to you. The Fit Happens Journal will help you reach your goals, but you have to crystallize your goal and write it down in order to achieve it.

First, let's define an "affair." One dictionary meaning of an affair is "an event or occurrence that has been referred to or is known about." My definition of an affair is "something big!" It could be a wedding, a pageant, a high school class or family reunion, a trip, or a competition. It has to be a tremendous event where you stand in the spotlight! You're probably asking what I mean by that statement. If you are attending an event as a guest or the event is for someone else, it doesn't count. If the people in attendance really don't know you, or you are attending it with a friend, co-worker, or significant other, that doesn't count either. If your ex or your companion's ex will be in attendance, then that would count as an affair! In all sincerity, I would like for your occasion to be something where you will be the center of attention. When all eyes are on you, you will be more focused on making sure you are...
