DESIRAE_NICOLE's CalorieKing blog
Saturday, Nov 28 2009 - Do we have an agreement?
View DESIRAE_NICOLE's food & exercise for this day
I've been revving up to commit myself to a new eating style. I've been reading through the Beck Diet book - I've started it before but never finished it. So over the holiday I checked out the remainder of the book. I like what it says and I am determined to implement the concepts.
The Plan
I will create meal plans for myself from breakfast to afternoon snack. I will have basic meal plans for dinner, but these have to be much more flexible. I will measure and record my food before eating it. In case of failure to make appropriate dinner, I will have frozen meals and veggies as a back up.
I will follow said meal plans with NO CHOICE for deviation. I have the most temptation at work: potlucks, cafeteria fare, and vending machines. Eating is easy to keep on track as long as I have prepped my food. Home is not so bad as long as I have done the required grocery shopping for dinners.
I will wake up 2 hours before I need to leave the house. This will allow me to work out for 20 minutes minimum and to start caring for myself better (skin care regimen, styling hair, makeup).
I have a goal of 20 pounds in 4 months, to start. This will be in time for my daughter's first birthday and will get me back to my weight pre-pregnancy. I like to crunch the numbers all the time, but this really never gets me through the hard stuff, just gets me psyched for the start.
I plan on focusing on 10 day intervals. I like this number because it keeps me from relying on a weekly cycle and is short enough to keep my focus. I have approx 12 ten day intervals before my goal date. I will weigh myself every 10 days and I'm working on thinking of a reward for every successful interval that doesn't include eating.
Possible Roadblocks
Daughter waking up early - wake up hubby to deal with her
Lack of dinner planning - NO CHOICE, have something different
Emotional eating - Stay in control, feel free to eat food in my IMAGINATION (actually works for me, weird huh?)
I know that if I stick to the plan I will be sure to succeed, but I need to stop fooling myself that I can eat pizza and chocolate (unplanned) and will still lose weight. It just doesn't work.
