There are about 10 days left in this month, so how did I do?
Well, I totally fell off the map this week. I have been eating junk food and I have not been eating regular meals. I have been snacking all day long! I could not bring myself to make another turkey sandwich. I fell off the breakfast plan when the salad stopped working for me. I am in a slight depressive funk.
I have 10 days left to make a difference and lose some weight this month before May Starts. Tommorrow is April 21 and I will start my May plan early. I will get a new webcame so that I can record videos easier and post them to my youtube for updates.
For the next 10 days and for the month of May this will be my new plan.
Walkn for 30 min (the hour walks did not work, will cut back thirty minutes an effort to at least get the walk in.)
Breakfast and Lunch = Energy bar and fruit-cup (I know, I know, I hate the bars, but they do give me protein, portion control, and cal restriction)
Dinner = Chicken soup (Cause I know it works!)
Drink = water
And a multi vitamin!

Tweaks!
I had to make a few tweaks to my plan to make it more liveable based on my slips.
1) I now am drinking V8 juice every morning with my veggie patty
2) I will keep some trail-mix and popcorn on hand in addition to my yogurt for my evenig snack.
3) I will keep an a special treat on hand as a reward for managing my cravings and stick to my plan ( a small cup of ice cream that I can have once a week on saturday nights or a bag of chocolate chip cookies,or a cheese stick) Will work on my managed treat day!
4) I will keep energy bars to have on hand when even making a sandwich is too much work.
5) I will incorporate fresh veggie snacks, rotating vegetables weekly (carrots, celery, tomatos, cucumbers)

Progress Report April 14th
The Good: I have not given up on my plan! I had a glass of v8 juice and a veggie patty this morning and I took my multi. I am still downing my water. Yesterday I was on the run so I carried an energy bar with me and had that for breakfast. I had some tuna salad and nuts for lunch.
The Bad: I have not been able to just stick to my meal plan completely. I have been over my grandmothers house and had some fried chicken and french fries. Last night I I ate a chicken burrito from taco bell, french fires and a milk shake! Yikes, I have had some pizza last weekend another big no.
The ugly: I have had some things that have set me back like treating myself with unhealthy things, and not being prepared for emergencies.
What I can do to improve:
I ran out of salad and then started wondering what to eat for breakfast and that threw me off for a few days. My fix, I will now have v8 juice for breakfast each morning so that I will make sure I have vegetables each morning no excuse. I will still have my raw vegetables, they will be for snack. I will rotate between cucumber, carrots, tomato and celery for a while, every once in a while I will do mixed greens with salad dressing.
I sometimes do not have time to make my sandwiches, in those situations I will bring a energy bar and have that with my fruit.
I need a more hearty snack, so I will have to get me some trail-mix to have with my yogurt and of course popcorn.
I will also get me some really special treat to have as a reward for stick to my plan. With these tweaks I plan to stick to my over spring break. I need to set my alarm clock to seven so I can go on my walks.
Even with a few slip ups I am still hoping I lose a few pounds this month and have my skills down for next month.

DO NOT BEAT YOURSELF UP!
When it comes to a health plan beating yourself up is not the answer, feeling guilty is not the answer. Feeling guilty makes you want to give up and commit worse acts. Just repair the damage. If you failed to eat a good breakfast,do not throw the day away, drink water and eat a healthy lunch and dinner. If you ate an unplanned snack yesterday resolve to do better today. It takes time to learn good habits, develop strategies for overcoming that obstacle the next time. If you missed yesterdays workout go today! Get right back on the horse when you make a mistake, do it as quickly as possible!
You will make mistakes, its what you do after them that counts! Resolve to repent and move forward instead of keeping your head down in shame!

Challenges:

2) Walking so early with my peeps that I will have to do my own workout later today since I am leaving at 9:45 this morning. Neeeded to sleep in because I stayed up late!
Be ware:
Staying up late
1) makes you tempted to eat crazy!
2) makes you too sleepy to workout the next day!
