So here it is...my master plan! This is different than all of my previous attempts at planning out my life. I know, I know, that sounds corny but it's true.
Normally my whole plan involves me coming up with a way to eat better and lose weight. I will go in full speed, overdo it, get discouraged when I haven't lost 25 pounds the first month, make horrible choices and then go right back to where I started.
This is exactly what I want to avoid. So I'll be starting more slowly. There are things that I know won't work:
- Making myself exercise 7 days a week right out of the box won't work.
- Not planning my meals and snacks each day won't work.
- Not scheduling down time for fun won't work.
So, I can work with this. Knowing what doesn't work is a big start.
Food - Mostly a Paleo lifestyle and very little dairy. I've found that when I eat pasta or bread, I just don't feel good. It makes me sluggish and tired. I think that's the cause of my 2:30 need for a nap.
Exercise - Going to try the bootcamp. I'm hoping that I really like it and can go 3 times a week. I'd like to start running slowly again and incorporate some yoga for stretching.
Mental Health - There are so many things that I'd like to do - knitting, reading, photography, puzzles, blogging. Downtime is necessary.
Organization - None of this will be possible without a having a good schedule in place. That's the first order of business and I've got to get everyone on board to help out.
Tomorrow is first weigh in, food shopping and meal prep. I'm going to post the food plan for the week and then update as I go to make sure I stay on track.
Here we go!!!!
