Week 1: The Agenda

Now that you have a plan based on where you are in the 8 areas of health, wellness and fitness - let Extreme Self-Care begin!

1. Celebrate your body as perfect and whole as is - no matter what.
2. Celebrate your uniqueness.
3. Choose clothes that flatter your shape and size - and reflect who you really are.
4. Stand tall - and be proud of who you are.
5. Respect your body by practicing sound nutrition and begin a fitness program that stretches and strengthens you.
6. Get enough rest, sleep, and quiet time.
7. Be your body's best friend: support it, soothe it, congratulate it, listen to it, talk to it.
8. Live the life you want - now. Stop waiting. Do it now. Live it now.
9. Learn new things related to health, wellness, and fitness. Be open to these new learnings.
10. Make yourself a priority.

Begin your journal. Begin a new page everyday with the date and day of your program. List everything you eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. List how much water you drink. List what else you drink - tea, sodas, etc. list everything that you eat and drink on a daily basis. Also, list what your workout consists of for that day. If you didn't exercise, note that as well. This is your journal - your Extreme Self-Care journal and it will be your roadmap to success. You may also write how you feel, your ups or downs, your goals and how close your finish line is - if you want. This is optional; however, the food, water and beverages must be chronicled.

Use your support structures. This is an important week. If you need to call me or email me more often, do it! This is a critical beginning of your program. Hang in there and stand tall. You can do this! You will do this! You must do this for you!
