When I coached athletic teams (at the elementary level,)I would often stress to the team that I could demonstrate the skills they would need to be successful, but ultimately it was up to them to execute the skill when the time came. For example, when running lay-up drills during a basketball practice, if a player didn't drive toward the basket for the lay-up, he wouldn't do it during the game. Now I am "the player" and know that it will be ultimately up to me to execute what I learn at Duke.
That said, I do have some things I hope to come away with once I complete the program.
1. A gym workout program which will take into consideration my arm and knee limitations. From experience, I know the only way I lose weight is to workout at least 3 times a week. My knee restricts my use of the tread mill and lately my right shoulder (which at some point needs to be replaced,) has been a problem, so I have not been to the gym for some time (what a waste of money!!).
2. The Duke Diet food intake plan that I WILL follow!.
3. Recipe suggestions and how to modify when necessary. I foresee using this blog to pass along recipes.
4. A plan to help me with binge eating.
5. Suggestions of how to deal with plateaus.

Pete,
ReplyDeleteI missed seeing you this morning -- I was hoping to give you a proper send-off, but know that you go with my prayers and best wishes.
I'm delighted you decided to blog! It'll be a great resource for those who want to support you in this endeavor and for those who share your struggle. (Count me in both of those.)
What a great list of things to come away with. Can't wait to see how it all comes together.
Godspeed, my friend.

Pete-- In church this morning Nancy D and I were talking about the need for more creative cooking to get us through our journeys. We have a lot of ideas for creating a St George's based support group once we can figure out the details.
ReplyDeleteRemember you are forgiven so forgive yourself. There will be some slips along the way. Be kind to yourself and get back on the stationary bike. It's one of the things I need to learn. Barb
What a great idea. Now there's something I can look forward to when I get back.
ReplyDeletePeter,
ReplyDeleteWill think of you in my prayers--and hope you have lots of good stuff to share when you get back. I love fiddling with recipes =) and could certainly use some team motivation for some exercise strategies!

Peter,
ReplyDeleteRich & I are glad to be a part of your new endeavor. I guess that our perspective is from a distance but still filled with love. Hope your trip down to DC and NC are safe and a chance to reflect.
