This is the most incredible email I have ever gotten in my life. This is from a good friend of mine Angela Murray and shortly after receiving it, I realized she was not asking a question, but sending me her commitment to taking action on her goal. She clearly lists what she’s willing to do, she’s open to feedback and direction, stated what she knows and what she doesn’t know, has taken measurements and she’s journaling the entire process. This is what she sent me:
OK! Here is my weakness, holding myself accountable for working out, eating right and drinking water. I want to have a healthy hot body so bad, yet when ever I attempt to do something about it, I sluff off, de-commit. I just measured myself, WOW, this is my heaviest ever (other than pregnant phase)
Weight: 132 lbs
Inches
Neck: 13″
Upper left arm: 10.5
Upper right arm: 10.75
Bust: 33.25
Diaphragm: 29.5
Waist: 36
Abdomen: 36
Buttocks: 37.5
upper Left thigh: 21.5
Upper Right thigh: 22
Calf left: 12.75
Calf right: 12.75
Upper knee left: 15.5
Upper knee right: 15.5
I understand that not all my inches will decrease as I build muscle, I feel my legs are in pretty good shape, I want to build more muscle mass.
I am COMMITTING to Mon,Wed, Fri to weight work out, Tues, Thurs, Sat to walking, cardio.
I am increasing my protein, decreasing my carbs, drinking more water. I will journal my daily activity and food each night before I go to sleep.
I will be kind to myself, love myself and enjoy this journey.
I have no “measurable” goal to reach as I have very little idea what is healthy, I would love to be 118 lbs but have no idea how much muscle that is or body % of fat.
All I know is I want more energy, to look fucking Fabulous, feel good inside and hot and be healthy about my choices.
I am open to suggestions, tips, feedback and any other offers you have!
I respect you and trust you and I know we can depend on each other for kicks in the ass or celebrating words.
I realize it is one more thing on your plate, as it is on mine, you don’t need to hold my hand every day, and feel free to say when you are busy and don’t have time to answer my question, just kick me with loving supportive words to keep me going.
Thank you Coop! I am totally ok with you saying No to this too, just so you know!
I am off to journal and get a good night sleep!
Nighty Night!
