I actually worked out 5 of the last 7 days.... a feat in itself for me. I been doing really good ... compared to my past. YAY me. I'm even trying to start back getting up at 5:30am to get in my workout.... thinking that if I put forth the effort to workout in the am then even if "life" gets in the way in the evening, I've still gotten in some aerobic activity. Only thing is it's hard to do Billy Blanks Bootcamp at 5:30....so the last two days I've done WATP 3 mile powerwalk. Almost like Billy is too intense for so early in the morning.... I know ALL mental but give me a few days...ugh I'm getting there. I was hurting for days after Bootcamp but still mustered thru the next. Now as far as eating... my first step in the RIGHT DIRECTION was portion controlled lunches. I have not been down to buy anything from the Kay Kafe but instead have been bringing frozen lunches...be it still processed which I hope to get away from soon but dang one step at a time. This shit is hard....I'm trying to do a little at a time so it doesn't "seem" so hard but ugh. Now for my DATS STILL WRONG moment this week...they having a reception for someone retiring and you guessed it...I'm heading down and most certainly will be snacking. See how conscience of it I am.... hmmm so I don't think it's willpower more like socializing misfit. So I have to mentally decide that I am not going to ruin all my hard workouts by socializing the wrong way. I could very well go to mingle with co-workers at the reception and NOT grab anything unhealthy. We'll see.

My manager (38) wanted to lose weight for her High School Reunion. I gave her this little bit of advice and she lost 13 pounds in 3 months.
ReplyDeleteCALCULATE your calorie intake , as well as what your calorie intake should be for you to get to your ideal weight. NOTE: Adjust your ideal weight in moderations. Start off with a 10-15pound weight loss and then adjust it once you reach that goal. LINK: http://nutrition.about.com/library/bl_nutrition_guide.htm
RECORD your calorie intake for the day. Use sites like calorieking.com to find out how many calories did you intake for the day. Record, add, comoare to your numbers needed. INVEST in a journal/notebook/calendar so that you can write these things down. NOTE: The first week or two will be tricky because you'll just be getting to understand what's enough and what's too much,
WORK OUT. We all hate to do it, but we all have to do it. Thankfully the more you work out, the kore you get to eat. The calculations at the link about gives you calorie intake necessary with workouts included as well. =]
OBSERVE, DISCIPLINE, & COMMIT: Just like we can consume ourselves with our loved ones, we ought to consume ourselves with ourselves. =] watch for your changes, admire your beauty, commit to your self-maintenance and give yourself your 'all' just as you would give others =].
Best of wishes!
