Monthly Check In
Good morning. I can't believe it's already the first of the month!
We have our monthly check in at 6pm today where we can discuss our goals for the month.
Instead of the weekly challenge this is an opportunity to think about what changes you're going to make over this month.
I'd suggest picking one area to measure or improve from the list below:
Blood Pressure
Cholesterol
Blood Sugar
Exercise
Diet
Smoking
Alcohol
Stress
Sleep
Obesity
Set yourself a goal in this area and make it SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound).
.
Then right down your strategy and tactics to achieve it.
For example, for me I want to get my cholesterol down. I checked it last week and it was still too high (LDL of 3.6) despite having reduced saturated fats and increasing exercise.
Therefore for me:
My SMART goal is to:
Reduce my LDL cholesterol to <1.8 over the next 3 months as I believe it will significantly reduce my stroke, heart attack and dementia risk.
My strategy is to use Statins.
My tactics (next actions) are:
- Contact a doctor in longevity medicine to prescribe statins for me (not a good idea to self prescribe)
- Ensure I take them daily by using a pill box with the days of the week on it.
- After 6 weeks arrange for repeat blood tests.
- Repeat the above steps at an adjusted dose until I hit my target LDL of <1.8.
I think it will take 1 dose adjustment to get there so I'm allowing myself 3 months to achieve the target.
Write your plans for the month in the comments or join us at 6pm to talk them through. And if you have one bring your blood pressure cuff too!
See you later!
