Get ready to have you socks knocked off. My plan consists of eating right and
exercising. You may find this a tired notion;
HOWEVER, my plan is more…organized. Yeah, that’s right.
I spent many hours (Yeah, at work. Your point?) coming up
with a 4-week meal and exercise plan. At
the end of each month, I will start it again.
I can modify it f I want but either way, I don’t have to think about what
I’m going to eat or how I’m going to exercise for the entirety of my Initiative. I’ve also even made the shopping list for
each week. For me, half the battle of sticking to a diet is finding myself
unprepared or being too lazy to come up with something healthy to eat. So I just end up going out to “grab a quick
bite” or getting full on things like spoonsful of peanut butter, pickles, chunks
of cheese, trail mix... before I settle on an actual meal. You know exactly what I’m talking about. Or,
more likely, not knowing what exercise to do that day so ending up half-assing
it on the Elliptical. Basically, my diet
will be low carb, low glycemic and no refined sugars or dairy. It’s my personal
philosophy that dairy is the devil and he dwells in cheese. I’m also doing a very plant-based diet with
not much meat – I’ll be eating A LOT of salads. And fish. Any month that has more than 4 weeks will end
with a juice fast.
I will exercise twice a day.
This will be the real challenge.
I have a goal to lose five pounds a month. This is a lot, I know. But, if it gets close to the end of the month
and I’m not where I need to be…you guessed it!
Another juice fast.
Usually when I diet, I reward myself with food. Like, Ohhh I’ve been so good lately, let’s get
ice cream! That’s a slippery slope, my
friends. This time, I’m rewarding myself
with other things. For example, once I
hit my first 10 pounds, I can buy myself a scale for my house. I know, I know, it’s extravagant but what’s
the point of a reward if you can’t enjoy it? Plus, it will allow me to be even more
obsessive. Another example: I’m going to
a wedding in October. If I lose 15
pounds in time, I can buy myself a new dress.
You get the drift.
I’m keeping everything I eat and do in a journal. Something about having to look at what you
ate (what you honestly ate) just shames you.
I’ll also weigh and measure myself and keep those precious gems in my journal
as well. I might also do a photo
progression.
I’m saying no to special occasion cheats! Just because it’s someone’s birthday doesn’t
mean my tongue gets a present. Just
because someone’s retiring doesn’t mean I can retire my diet. Just because someone’s having a baby doesn’t
mean I need to look like I’m having a baby.
Just because…that’s enough.
I’m ignoring the hatas.
You know anytime you try to lose weight, especially once you experience
any type of success, people start peer pressuring you to eat. Oh, you look great, eat a brownie. You lost half a pound?? Eat some cake. I brought candy, eat, eat, eat!! And I’m just gonna be like, step off ho (cuz
it’s always a woman. Men are like, No sweets
for you? Yeah, that’s probably a good
idea…). Beware of the sneakiest of
hatas. They like to tell you things
like, you deserve this, you’ve worked so hard, treat yourself, everything’s ok
in moderation. We are NOT normal. Everything is NOT ok in moderation! A moderate amount of sugar=a moderate I’M
STILL FAT!
So, there ya go. That’s my plan. Let’s see how this goes…
