(LighterLife management – ongoing)
So this ‘new direction’ that I mentioned in the last post, is that I want to become a coach. Not a football coach, a life coach and an executive coach. A business coach. All those things. For the first time in my adult life I feel I have a real alternative to my current career. It feels amazing.
Of course, it requires a lot of planning to get there. Firstly, I need training. Instant obstacle: I have no savings and I certainly cannot quit my job. So this step 1 is what I’ve been trying to tackle for the past couple of months. I have even managed to work out how much money I can put aside every month. Give or take the occasional slip up of not quite managing through the whole month – struggling right now to complete September without dipping into the savings I put aside only 3 weeks ago…
But here we go. It’s a start. If all goes well, I can start training on the side of my full-time job in January 2011.
In the meantime, I’ve announced that I am going to lose 15kg of weight by xmas. During week 1, I managed 200g, and it’s not looking terribly rosy this week, either. I’m struggling to PLAN. I know how to do it, I’m just struggling to do it. And once I do it, I’m struggling to remember I had a plan to begin with. So it’s not going smoothly yet ;)
I have returned to my LighterLife group, and once again wondered how come I don’t go more often. I bought quite a lot of foodpacks as well, though due to the lack of planning have been using them in more or less random manner. Time will tell. Once again, I have to trust time.
