A Fail Safe Plan!

I need a fail safe health plan that will help me to lose weight no matter what my circumstances are. I cannot be dependent on going to a dance class with a friend every once in a while, or sticking to a diet that is constantly changing.

Real Confession:

In the past several months I have attended Zumba Classes and Ujam classes anywhere from 0-2 times per week.

In the past two weeks I have eaten fried chicken for 4 meals.

In the past two weeks I have eaten fried fish and chinese food.

In the past two months I have eaten a pound of cheese and several boxes of cheese its.

This has got to change!

I need a fail safe eating and exercise plan!

Weight-loss Pitfalls!

These are the things I believe are holding me back.

1. I have no consistent eating pattern.
2. I have no consistent exercise routine.
3. I eat junk food in response to anxiety and stress.

These are the obstacles to having a consistent eating pattern.

1. I live between my grandmothers home and my home and am never in one place consistently.
2. I have no realistic eating plan that is easy to follow, when this happens I eat on a whim.
3.I do not shop for and stock healthy foods on a regular basis.

These are the obstacles to having a consistent to a regualr exercise routine.

1. I cannot afford the gym currently.
2. I cannot go to the gym, because I have no one to care for grandma.
3. I have no indoor exercise routine.

Basically things in my lfie keep shifting and so for the past two years I have been stuck at a weight of over 250lbs. When am I going to really start living for me and my betterment?

Health Update!

I so love the book, "Secrets of A Skinny Jean Queen", By Carolyn Gray. The book is really about losing weight in a common sense way by changing small things to make your life style better.

Right now I have a hugh self-esteem boost. I have some really cute clothes for work and they are in my present size twenty-four. I have full confidence that I will lose a lot of weight and feel great without stressing myself out. Here are the current tweaks I am doing inmy life that will bring success!

1) Drink green tea in the morning and throughout the day! (This stuff just makes me feel great!)

2)Have at least 2 servings of fruit, even if it's a fruit cup or apple sauce!

3) Have 2-3 Energy bars per day! (This is better than eating cheese, crackers or grabing fast food!)

4) Have 2 yogurt servings per day! (I cheat and have the kids kind, but hey it's calcium)

5) Have some popcorn! (We all need a snack to munch on, may as well get the extra fiber!)

6)Have a lean cuizine for dinner! (No need to cook or eat out, have a healthy dinner ready so you have no excuse!) Swap out for soup every now and then for variety!

7)Have a nice green salad with dinner, nothing fancy!

8) Have some candy! I like peppermint, they taste great, your breath smells good and three is just 60 calories!

9)Have a daily vitiamin!

10)Commit to small changes that you can stick with daily!

Concentrate on doing things that will help you reach your goals!
