Weight Intervention Program - PREVENT

So I'm going to attempt to start back writing my thoughts. Yesterday was Day 1 of a weight intervention program I signed up for thru the job called Prevent. Before the 16-weeks started, they sent me a digital scale which will send my weight in daily thru wifi connection. So yesterday I weighed in at 213.8 and I took my measurements. Just the mere fact that I will need to step on the scale every morning may just be the thing I need to act right the day before...and not just because I'm stepping on the scale because I was doing that every day anyway....but now it's being sent into the world wide atmosphere... that little ticker that shows how close I am to my goals will bobble up and down if my weight goes up and down. I like that added motivation. Game On. Despite that fact, my weekend activities was riddled with food I didn't need. So this morning I was up one pound....(which I plan to drop right on back off by tomorrow..lol) I expect to continue to follow low carb eati

Since I like everything condensed and able to fix and work with my yearly/weekly calendar... I combined two different tally sheets I found. and I print these out on 2x4 avery labels so they can be peel and stick to the day in my calendar. Nothing extra to tote around.

21 Day Fix - Overview Week 2

Ok my confession first; I didn’t work out much last week…..three days. I let life give me excuses and I used ‘em. I am, however, still eating according to plan for the most part and still dropping pounds and inches. Although this is a 3-week program, I really don’t plan to stop…. since the goal is to adapt to the habits as my normal way of eating I will simply continue. I still give kudos to the program because I was at a major plateau. Although this is simply a program of portion control and timely eating… it’s presented in a way that makes it understandable in a market that is just overwhelmed with "get-skinny-fast" schemes. Tools are provided that helps you to see visually the perfect balance of nutrients to fuel and nourish your body. And you can’t beat a 30 minute but still effective workout. I’ve found that I can even “stray” and still see a drop on the scale. Friday night, I went out to eat my all-time favorite meal of Mexican fare. I almost always order a large

21 Day Fix Overview - Week 1

In my case, I am in the 1,200 to 1,499 calorie range! That allows me 3 green (veggies) 2 purple (fruits), 4 Red (protein) 2 Yellow (starchy carbs) 1 Blue (nuts, ect) 1 Orange (nuts and dressings) 2 spoons (nut butters, olive oil). You are provided with a list of foods that you can eat that corresponds with each container. I love it because I can easily pick from each list and create a meal plan for the week. I love that the foods are listed in order of importance. So the higher on the list the foods are the more nutritionally sound they are! Of course you should have a variety of foods from the lists to give you variety of nutrients for your body. I am a plan it out type of girl so this works wonderfully. I have not been eating out of the containers, but I measure and pour onto my plate. Now I’m kinda getting use to amounts so I know about 3 chicken strips equal a red container, that approximately 5-8 strawberries will fit into a purple container, etc. Surprisingly each time I

Calorie restrictions: Good Lesson or Set up for Failure

You already know the deal….keep on eating like crazy you ain’t gone lose a damn thang. I use MyFitnessPal and sometimes SparkPeople to track my food and beverage consumption. If you enter your information correctly, the website or app will give you a calorie allowance according to your age, weight, and height. Now here comes the hard part……staying within that allowance. It’s Monday morning…you gungho… you’ve even come up with your plan…Bam.. I’m gonna eat this, this, and this… Midday you hungry as hell….but you pumping yourself up….”I CAN DO THIS!!!... I’m eating right…hell I’m gone be fine as wine in summertime. I’m just teaching myself some discipline” You did it…you made it thru Day 1 within your allowance. Day 2 a little better…Day 3…damn they serving lunch in the office….. and man I been so deprived…surely this piece of fried chicken won’t hurt. Surely. But that piece leads to something else..sides? dessert?.. and afterwards you like hell today is blown…let me just gone enjoy an
