The Chunky Dunker’s Club, Week 8

Good evening!

Welcome to week 8, of the Chunky Dunker’s Club!! At some point I am going to just have to call these posts “Chunky Dunker’s Club” and take off the week number, but I am very excited, and proud of us to have made it to week number 8!!! Can you believe it???

Every week I post a new Chunky Dunker’s article ever Wednesday evening, and you have the opportunity to comment, and cheer each other as you each go through your journey to get fit and healthy!!! We will discuss hints, tips, and ideas on losing weight, staying motivated, and achieving your fitness goals, whether that is to lose 5 pounds, to do 10 sit-ups, or just incorporate some healthy habits into your daily life!!

Did you attempt your homework from last week?

LAST WEEK’S HOMEWORK: Write down 5 choices you make every day, and what pain you are trying to avoid, and what pleasure you are trying to gain from each choice. Look at your answers, if you were to change you pain/pleasure that you associate with these choices would your physical life improve. Underneath each choice, write what the reality of what you are doing here – this might be eye-opening for you.

How did that go? It wasn’t as easy as you thought it was going to be was it??

Well, I am excited to hear how everyone is doing with their own personal fitness goals this week, but before we jump to the comments section to chat, let’s discuss tonight’s topic!

Tonight’s topic: Visualizing Your Best YOU!!!

Myself, being a very visual person, this is one of my FAVORITE get fit exercises!! And there is ABSOLUTELY no sweating, pain, and you can do this dressed exactly as you are – or not, whatever the case may be, for my possible nudist readers!!! 😉

Visualization!!!

Try closing your eyes and see if you can envision yourself at your perfect fitness level. Don’t envision yourself from sometime in the past, but envision yourself fit, healthy, and vivaciously energetic right this minute.

What do you look like?
What are you doing?
What are you wearing?
Where are you?
Who are you with?
Are you doing something different then what you are doing now?
Hmmmmm…very curious, don’t you think???

In doing this type of exercise, you are tricking your brain into thinking that what you are seeing in your mind’s eye is actually your reality. Have you ever stopped to think that reality is all about perception anyways??? My reality is not the same as yours, and yours may not be the same as the next person – but YOU are still the one HAVING TO LIVE IN IT!!! Why not make your reality one filled with a YOU who is living fit and healthy???

TONIGHT’S HOMEWORK: Try visualizing your most fabulously fit and perfect self in your mind. Make your picture as clear, crisp, and as colorful as possible. For the rest of this week, bring this picture to the forefront of your mind when you have any moment of quiet. Work on fine-tuning your vision, tweak your hair, your smile, your boobs (come on ladies, I know you are thinking it!!) your posture, your speed, your stamina, your strength, your flexibility – ANYTHING YOU WANT!!! I think you get the picture THIS IS YOUR LIFE AND YOUR REALITY!!!

Life is not about finding yourself, it is about creating yourself!

If you need help with this, find healthy, realistic from magazines, or news articles, or heck draw one yourself!! If your mind can see and believe, it can achieve.

I fully believe that!!!
Get out there and get visualizing!!!

Have a FABULOUS evening!!

    Hey sis! Doing good. Just listening to the sound of the fan oscillating and my fingers typing away. It’s weird how any more these days there is no TV watching except when I go to bed. So unlike me, but that is a good thing. How did your week go?

    Hello everyone!!!!!!

    Alice, Trina, and I wont be on tonight. We are about to go out and have a little bit of ladies night. Trina and I have been working out to music everyday this week. We shake our groove thang for about thirty min a day. Then Alice came over one day and did it right along with us.

    I havent lost anything and I have another docs apointment in the morning. She will probably take me off the diet pill since it isnt working. My doc said that she has never seen anyone not lose anyweight on this med.

      Don’t beat yourself up Jen. It wasn’t meant for you to be on that drug. You don’t know what kind of side effects you would have endured with continued use. You are Blessed! Just keeping saying that affirmation!

    I think last week’s homework was a bit difficult and to be honest..I forgot about it until I read your blog.
    1) I choose to wake up every morning and go to work.
    a) Pain – Avoiding the pain that I would feel living on the streets. Plea
    b) Pleasure – not living on the streets with the hot weather..having a safe place to sleep, shower and enjoy my family.

    2) I choose to eat more healthy, organic foods.
    a) Pain – avoiding gaining more weight and getting more sick and possibly dying.
    b) Pleasure – losing weight and my body feeling better is a great feeling. Getting rid of my medications for HBP, Diabetes, Swelling and depression.

    Okay…so that is as far as I got. I am still thinking.

    I hope everyone is doing great. I think I am broken. No matter how much I shake my jiggly I still havent any of it fall off.

    I am going to do some reading tonight on how to become a professional blogger! I really just love doing it!! and when I have time to actually stop and put thought into it – I think I am getting better!!!

    1. goddessalexa

      I did another post on my blog. I like the idea of doing that for a living and incorporating pictures that I have taken of whatever it is that I am blogging about.
      I also went on livestrong this afternoon and started that up again. DO you know that my calories were based on me wanting to MAINTAIN my weight?!

      1. christinaville Post author

        Yes, I love the idea of blogging too!! I did read your posting this evening!

        and about Livestrong, I need to get back on and start tracking again!! Did you fix your calories?

      2. goddessalexa

        I did to wanting to lose 3 lbs a week. If I said I wanted to lose 5lbs a week…it said I could only ingest 879 calories…surely you heard my laughter from all the way down here?!

  13. goddessalexa

    I need to start reading some more of my Full heart book. Oh hey…mom said there are two packages at her house for me. I bet one is your’s. She is mailing them to me via FedEx

    1. christinaville Post author

      Oh yes, I am on chapter 7, I think! so I will pick that up again this evening!!

      I am going to go to bed early tonight – I am not sleeping as deeply as I want, but I have started to dream again, since starting my morning pages, so that has been exciting!!
