Okay, so here’s the deal. I’ve flopped like a fish on the deck of a ship the last two weeks. I finally emailed Marci several days ago and then sat down today, pulled out my old binder from my Marci days, and started just going through it. So, here’s what I’m going to be doing… the biggest thing for me is knowing that somebody is expecting me to do it… in comes Marci.
But, I’m going to try to chronicle it here. If it helps someone, anyone, even if it’s just me… hallelujah! You see, I don’t want to lose weight to be a model-type. I want to be able to be confident in who I am and I want to be an example, mostly to my kids. I can’t talk about and urge healthy choices and exercising if I’m not showing them that. So, anyways, here’s my plan.
Monday – Saturday (example menu):
One: 2 Eggs + 1 Egg Whites
Toast
Two: Serving of Lite Yogurt with 2 Tbsp Granola
Serving of Almonds or Walnuts
Three: Tuna (or Turkey) on one slice of Whole-Wheat Bread
Lettuce & Tomato
Apple
Four: Protein Shake/Bar
Five: 5 oz. Grilled Steak or Chicken
Steamed Green Veggies
Small Baked Potato/Sweet Potato
Six: Cottage Cheese
Sunday serves as a free day. You don’t count or write down… You just eat.
Everything I’m eating I’ll write down that was we’ll be able to see what needs to be changing. The other thing is exercise. I’ve got to get in three days of cardio and at least two days of strength training. The four ‘core’ things that I’ll start with are lunges, squats, sit ups, and push ups.
So, there it is. I’ve got the groceries to do this thang. I have my timeline written out… Done by August 1st… I’ll start marking my progress next week. I’m falling asleep though right now, so, I’m heading to bed! (Oh, sleep is really important to you body! Go to bed!)
