Starting tomorrow because I am going grocery shopping tomorrow morning.
Ok, so with my recent issues with weight and the knowledge that the last 6 weeks were completely wasted, I've decided that enough is enough; time to play hard ball. Tell me what you think.
We are going somewhere warm in September (Jamaica maybe!) and I can't very well wear a sweat suit. So....I need to lose some weight.
I want to be at 115, but this isn't realistic for September so for that goal, I am shooting for 2 lbs per week or 15-20 lbs before then.
Tonight is the first night I start my resistance training (yes Slappy, I know...I should have been listening to you all along!).
Monday, Wednesday and Friday are Cardio, 30-40 minutes.
Monday and Friday are 20-25 minutes resistance training.
Friday is weigh in day. Today is the first day I log my weight. My starting point. *sigh* I'm depressed already.
Anyway, to lose weight, I need to be on a 1300 -1400 calorie diet.
I am switching to whole grains.
I am replacing my ground beef with ground turkey.
I am eliminating as many processed foods from my diet as I can (afford and stomach!)
5 small meals a day, 5-6 12oz bottles of water every day. I am on the end of bottle number 2 so I'd better pick it up here...but I hate having to pee every 10 minutes!!
I am allowing myself one day of flexible (not stupid) eating. Like one day I can have pizza delivered for dinner.
I am allowing myself to eat a sweet midday snack as long as it's 100 calories or less.
Breakfast = 200 calories
Lunch = 300 calories
Dinner = 600 calories
Mid Morning and Mid Afternoon snacks = 100 calories each
Do these measurements seem reasonable? I ran around crying yesterday and feeling bad for myself and today I have to pick my fat ass up and start doing something about it.
This is going to be a long, bumpy road.
