The most important reason: YOU! After the Christmas and Holidays hustle and bustle, we get back to our previously scheduled routines. Some of those are good and some and not as good as they could be for us long term. One of the most repetitive resolutions made for New Year’s Eve is to” lose weight”, “get slimmer”, “find the real me again.” While all good and well meaning, these resolutions are so broad that how would we ever know what the end result is, or how to get there? We have just set ourselves up for failure even before we begin. I want to help you change that for 2016 and beyond.Let me start out by saying I am not personal trainer, nutritionist or health guru, whatever that is. I am a technology loving gal that wanted to make some changes in my own life two and a bit years ago, but had no idea how or where to start. The one thing I had been missing, or didn’t know I needed, was a way to measure progress. Small changes that over time made incremental differences for the better; being able to measure these changes in a way that made sense brought me to my goal. Losing 112 lbs. Yes I lost a human being. I can laugh about that now but when I look back, the desired result was too large and too difficult to even imagine as being possible. Hence the method needed to measure change – Fitbit.
I had been looking at personal health trackers for a while and the concept of visually seeing my progress and tying that to technology I already owned and loved just made sense. To create “doable” daily goals and visually see my progress towards those changed everything for me. Many times I found myself walking up and down the stairs in my home before I went to bed just to get my step goal or flights of stair goal for that day. Something about a green success band for that goal was a mental and emotional high. I did it. Achieving those goals for most days over a period of a year, well, it changed me from both a health and an emotional point of view. You see, anyone who tells you they can give you immediate results are not giving you the truth. It takes time. When it becomes a lifestyle, it lasts. I know.
What we are offering in 2016 and beyond at Outpost2 are Technology Lifestyle Classes – entered around using technology – in this case Fitbit, and marrying that with knowledge gleaned over the past 2 years to help you create and head towards your goals. These classes are 30 min in duration and will be a group format. Our intention is to help arm you with understanding about how to use the Fitbit technology and pair it with the many apps and ideas that are possible. Whether your goal will include running a marathon or just keeping up with your kids, these classes are meant for everyone. No matter where you find yourself today, these classes are for you.
