8 Points to a Better Me
Ok, it’s now time to leave behind the cookies, cakes, and other implements of the devil and move on with my healthy life that I worked so hard to achieve over the summer. Here is my 8 point plan to renew my commitment to myself.
1) I will get back on South Beach, which worked so well for me, starting back at phase one for the full two weeks.
2) I will exercise every week, shooting for four times. I will also add weights back into my program twice a week.
3) I will take my vitamins every day.
4) I will drink at least 40 oz of water a day, shooting for the required 64, though that is really tough.
5) I will track my weekly progress on a calendar, with a weigh in on each Monday, and logging when I’ve exercised and for how long.
6) I will use the online community to support me as I did this summer. This blog serves as part of that, as do the community boards on the SBD website. That was so helpful to me, and I need that support.
7) I will make a concerted effort to experiment more with recipes, and even cook a few meals on Sunday so I can’t use cooking dinner as an excuse not to go to the gym.
I will get up earlier so I can eat breakfast before I leave for school.
So starting today, I begin again. I have gained back 5 pounds, which isn’t as bad as I thought it would be, but still, they need to be removed. My goal is to lose those 5, and then an additional 5 more, to bring me to 165. Somehow even though it’s only a 5 pound gain, why do I feel so fat?? I feel like I can really see it. Anyway, here is my starting weight. I can do this!!!!!

You’ve made a good plan — you can do it!
That is a great plan, and of course you can do it.
I need to do it as well. The holidays kicked my ass, now it is time for me to kick it
Our plans are almost identical. I’ve also decided to do phase 1 again. I hate that phase, but it really does help me get focused again…and the big weight loss is a big benefit!:D
Yes! You can do this!
I am back darling- I like your 8 points. i am in the process of making my resolutions, although I am going to think of another entirely clever word for it other than resolutions because I swear that word is a recipe for failure, just like diet. I gained a butt ton of weight i am sure- so much i am desperately fearing my scale- as a matter of fact i bet the s.o.b. is hiding from me. i bought a planner. that helps me a lot and i can schedule work outs. i started day shift and its pretty tough getting into a new groove. gone are my nights of being up until 0300. i have to find ne times to work out since i dont have a whole day to myself any more. but i am grandly thankful to be having this time with my family, which is ultimately invaluable. I miss you bosox!
I am back up 10 pounds (grrrr) but ready to get back on track like you……… you can do this!
