My Plan:
Food ~ 1800 calories or less
Water ~ 64 oz. or more
Exercise ~ Daily! - can be anything from treadmill to step aerobics to housework. If I sweat for 15 min or more I count it!!
Feb will be my first time in the points challenge.
My February goals are modest ... as I posted in #179, dh is taking a short-term job, out of state. Holding down the home-front, (kids, school, sports, etc) as well as working a full time job will all fall on my shoulders ... I don't know HOW I'll fit in exercise ... given that I'll be shortening my lunch break and I'll have to do work at home after the kids go to bed cuz I still won't spend 7.5hrs in the office every day --- so it's more important than EVER that I have a place like this to 'be accountable'.
My plan
1. eating: continue w/ my self-designed plans of LOTS of lo-carb veggies, some protein, some dairy and just a bit of starch.
2. water: 48oz/day ... this is very low but it's been so cold at work I've been only drinking about 24 oz a day ... and at least 16 of that is after dinner.
3. exercise: 20 minutes of SOMETHING each day, at this point I'll give myself credit even if it's not aerobic ...
hi. i have had a horrible six weeks but am finally back and ready to start again. miraculously i have not gained any weight (or gained it and lost it) so i am at my old numbers. i was very depressed that in six weeks i lost no weight but i changed that to a positive that at least i did not gain!!!!
my plan is as follows:
Food: 6-8 ounces of protein, whole grain carbs and lots of fresh veggies and fruit. i will drink my protein shake in the morning even though i hate it. no more sugar and no refined carbs.
Water: 80 ounces minimum per day
Exercise: one tape per day minimum and walk my daughter to school and back on pretty days.
Lifestyle: i will begin journaling again, get the house back in order this week and continue looking for a fulltime job. i will start scrapbooking again and work on my art every day for a bit. life is not meant to be survived but lived to the fullest.
thanks ladies for being here. i have not posted in awhile but have certainly kept up with all that is going on...
OK here is my plan for April even if I am getting started 3 days in the hole.
Food will be under 1800 calories a day. I was sticking with 1500 but somedays I want more and I get depressed when I know at 4 that I am at 1200 and can't eat much for dinner.
Water will be to drink at least 80 ounces of water each day. A benefit of drinking water like that is I stop drinking the diet soda. Ihonestly prefer water anyhow.
Exercise will be 30 minutes a day minimum. It can be the treadmill or a exercise tape. Just that it has to be at least 30 minutes at one time.
Food: 2200 calories/day (I know that sounds like a lot, but it is working for me) of clean food with a ratio of 50% high quality carbs/25% high quality fats/25% high quality proteins
Exercise: 20 plus minutes of cardio daily (usually walking or bike riding); 6 days a week of weight lifting (alternating body parts); crunches daily; yoga daily
I day/week with only yoga
Water: 4 plus of our big blue cups (I think they are 2o oz. each)
