Gonna half to come up with a food plan! Fun huh! The good thing is that I know where to start. I just don't know how to finish. LOL, now that I think about it I have never known how to finish anything. The forever challenge of creativity is stickability. OK so that isn't a real word. I know! But being able to finish something. That is hard to do! I have millions of brilliant ideas that never come to fruition. I start projects and leave them half done. Maybe just maybe this is the project I finish! I need to finish this. For Joslyn's sake and mine. I am tired of being fat and lazy. I have a skinny girl in me that wants to get out and live! My adventure list, my dreams, my hopes all depend on me being healthy!
Okay enough soapbox!
Food plan Ideas:
eat six times a day (6 week body makeover proved to me that this changes my metabolism)
eat protein with every meal (another metabolism increasing trick)
eat carbs that are good for my body (potatoes and rice are good carbs, breads and pasta are bad carbs)
eat fruits 3 times a day ( this is hard because I am not a natural fruit lover)
eat veggies all day ( good veggies like squash, spinach, cucumbers, broccoli, and stay away from starchy veggies which are the only ones I like right now)
drink water (sadly I don't drink much of anything)
limit sodium ( if I fix all of my meals this is easy to do)
set rewards for goals lost ( making sure that they are not food)
focus on my long term goals ( why I want to lose weight and get healthy)
keep a food journal ( I wonder if OA will make me do this too)
keep in touch with accountability partners and sponsor
Go to meetings and be honest.
try and accomplish new workout goals each month
workout starting 2 days a week and adding to that when ready
Do any of you have a food plan? Any tips?

: All I know is, if you don't figure out this something, you'll just stay ordinary, and it doesn't matter if it's a work of art, or a taco, or a pair of socks! Just create something... new, and there it is, and it's you, out in the world, outside of you, and you can look at it, or hear it, or read it, or feel it... and you know a little more about... you. A little bit more than anyone else does... Does that make any sense at all?" Quote from PS I LOVE YOU
Brown, you are one of the strongest people I know, so this'll be a piece of cake! Healthy cake, that is ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat has worked for me: Water! You are so right! I drink a glass of water as soon as I get up in the morning. I stand at the sink and guzzle! Other times I drink: Before a workout, after a workout, before I have caffeine; before every meal, and before I go to bed. Drinking before eating makes me feel fuller. Being hydrated rinces toxins. I don't know the science, but hydration gives me energy!
Another thing that helps is surrounding myself in stuff that inspires me to be active and eat healthy. During my weightloss, I read fitness/health magazines and I follow them on FB. A new workout is fun to do and/or a new recipe to try is fun. I like to workout in front of my TV, and surprisingly libraries have lots of workout dvds!
The best advice to weightloss: believing in yourself and knowing God believes in you. And, for what it's worth, I sure as heck believe in you, too :)
