Revamping my habits, feedback appreciated!
Well the month of December kicked my butt! Nothing but holiday splurging and neglecting exercise. I gained two pounds. Thankfully I managed to lose them fairly quickly. However, December has left me in rut. I can’t seem to get out of the little treat here, little treat there mentality and because of it I have fluctuated between 156 – 151 for the entire month of January. There has been no solid weight loss to speak of. I can’t afford to stay in this rut. I have come too far to hover in one place for months on end. So today I am revamping my eating habits and exercise routine yet again. And here it is (any hints, comments, further info would be greatly appreciated):
Do:
Fresh or frozen fruits and veggies
Whole grain
Lean meats (chicken, turkey, fish, shell fish)
Low-fat
Sugar-free
Low-sodium
64 oz. of water
Strive for natural as possible
Strive for a serving of each food group a day
Prepare meals by grilling, baking, or broiling
Don’t:
High fructose corn syrup
Partially hydrogenated oils
Saturated fat
Sugar in the first 5 ingredients
White flour a k a enriched or bleached
Exercise
Cardio: walking, biking, or jogging (30 mins a day)
Flexibility: yoga stretches (routine of select stretches 1x a day)
Strength Training: weights (lifting routine 1x a day)
2 days off a week
