Setting yourself checkpoints as part of your plan will keep your momentum going. These could be mental or physical checkpoints, how you hope to be feeling at a certain time or how many repetitions of a certain exercise you hope to be doing. For everyone this will be different and it’s okay if you need to change your checkpoints as you go through your plan.

Shelley - Everyone’s checkpoints will be different depending on the type of person you are and the goals that you set for yourself. In the first four weeks of the programme I hadn’t planned any checkpoints for myself in my head apart from surviving until the Friday of each week.

I had practically no awareness of how I was doing other than the weights were getting slightly heavier and I could do more repetitions. In week four I suddenly became more interested in what we were doing, I was starting to feel different and I was becoming more engaged in the whole thing. So from week four until around week eight I was setting checkpoints left, right and centre for anything and everything that was good for me, as that was the time when I needed to keep myself going as we were dealing with some difficult and emotional NLP therapy sessions.

After week eight my only checkpoint was week 12 as I was conscious of what we had to do at the end. Putting ourselves out there to the public was daunting. Looking back on the whole process now I would have done a few things differently. I would have planned a few checkpoints along the way to sit down and talk about what I was feeling or struggling with.

It was important for me to communicate certain things with my coach about how I was feeling physically and if I had planned some of that time in I might have dealt with some things sooner. I’m grateful that I had such a good relationship with my coach and that I could be open and honest with him. I could tell him if I couldn’t do a particular exercise in case I wet myself or that I was in pain if I tried to run but if I had given myself some time to think about these things we could have planned alternatives.
