Back In Action

Hello!

It has been along time since I have posted. Wow, since October of 2009. Well the last couple months have been crazy!

The Good:

I am highly motivated to be fit! I have been walking monday-friday on non-rainy days since January. It is no longer a struggle and I am getting faster. I am getting ready to add a new routine that focuses on strength training. I will be doing exercises on dvd for twenty minutes after work on Monday's, Wednesday's and Friday's.

The Bad:

During the fall and holiday's I ate tons of junk food and was not moving much. My grandpa passed away at the begining of the new year.

The Ugly:

My weight went back up to 265lbs as a result of the holiday eating.

What I have been up to:

I read some more books. I even tried to eat all fruit for breakfast and salad twice a day! I became frustrated and was tempted to go on an all juice diet!

The new plan:

The new plan is to eat 1900 Cal a day. I will do this by cooking daily and eating mostly whole foods. I am a member of calorie counter.com I track my food daily. On the exercise side I walk 30 minutes during lunch monday-friday. I am adding back my saturday morning walks and I am adding strength training three days a week for 20 minutes.

What I have learned:

When it comes to calories fat and sugar pack the most calories and whole foods like fruits and vegetables pack the least. Instead of doing in all salad diet I can have string beans and baked potato. A low calorie option as long as you skip the butter, cheese and sour cream.

Stay motivated no matter what. Even when I was pigging out I continued to read success stories, watched youtube videos and other things on fitness.

Take it day by day and focus on healthy principles when it comes to eating. Instead of writing out a plan for the week that I will never keep I focus on stocking up on healthy fruits and vegatebles so that I can eat.

The Power Concept:

Cook, Cook, Cook or go on Jenny Craig! Resturants pack on calories on every food item! Cooking is the best way to love yourself. The kitchen is one area you can't be lazy in! It is the only way to avoid the fast food and pizza trap!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Weight-loss!
