So today I plan on going grocery shopping to make sure I have all the diet foods I need in the house. However I still have the small problem of that I don't know what my diet plan is going to be. I told DH the other day that I could eat cake every meal and lose weight if I was sticking to the calories. That is the thing is that all diets out there really work if you stick w/ them long enough and do them exactly as they say. I have so many different diet plans going on in my head and so many horrible thoughts and things I associate w/ them. How to change my thinking? I think of having to diet and I think all negatives; failing, restrictive, missing out, unfair that I can't eat things, how cranky I am going to be, how I can't stick with it, missing foods I enjoy, caffein headache, to much time to prepare, hate cooking at home, no eating out, I'm hopeless, no point in trying, and the list keeps going on. With all these thoughts that hit me every time I think about trying to get in shape & lose weight. No wonder I can't seem to get it together.
So It is now later in the day we went grocery shopping and I forgot my list at home. So I didn't get food for my diet. I am so tired of feeling defeated all the time. I am still going to try to start tomorrow. I have a slightly different schedule next week because of the holiday. My regular schedule only gives me a 1/2 hr lunch but this next week I'll have an hour lunch so I am planning on using that to get an official meal plan figured out. I know if I eat eggs and fruit for breakfast, then almonds and fruit for snacks, salad w/ protein for lunch then I just need to get dinner figured out. Now am I starting the Advocare cleanse tomorrow? I have such mixed feelings about it. I don't want to cause it isn't fun or easy BUT i feel like I could really benefit from a cleanse my body is full of crap. SO I guess I need to get up early tomorrow so that I can drink my cleanse and eat my breakfast, pack my lunch. At least there is still no school tomorrow so I don't have to worry about getting DS1 ready for school in addition to it.
So as much as I dislike counting calories I think that is going to be part of my plan. I am going to try to eat as clean & organic, trying to stick to whole grains for my starches. Try to have lean protein and more veggies than I like. I am going to do the Advocare cleanse and take the vitamins after that. I will only weigh in once a week. I am going to try to stay off the scale in between. I am tempted to try to weigh in every 10 days because of the cleanse or maybe do day 1, day 10 then every week after that. Must have a reward every 10 days regardless of weight loss. This reward is for keeping to the plan. I will wear my body media band and input my calories on the Jillian Michaels website I already subscribe to. I will also have my weight rewards in addition to my 10 day rewards. The 10 day rewards are just to get me thru the first 30 days. I still need something to push for for the first 10 days. Also I want to drink a min of 8 glasses of water but my goal is 1/2 my weigh in oz so 90oz of water a day.
So lets recap the plan:
-1200-1500 calories a day w/ a 1000 calorie deficit a day
-Eat whole grains, lean protein and lots of fruit a veggies.
-Doing the Advocare 10 day cleanse and vitamin packs
-Imputing calories and plugging in my arm band nightly to Jillian's website
-64-90oz of water a day
-Once a week weigh ins
-20 mins of walking 3 times a week on my treadmill for the first 30 days, then I will up it. Right now I just need to make a habit of moving and exercising.
-Rewards every 10 days for first 30 days,
-Weight loss rewards for ever 5% loss
So it is any one diet, not really. It will be close to Advocare's but not exactly. The healthy eating is basic knowledge along w/ calories in & out. The key for me is going to be staying motivated. To keep moving forward. To fight the urge to eat junk and candy. I know it may sound cheesy but I think I am going to make a paper chain to count down my 30 days and write inspirational words on them. I want to take each ring off in the morning as a way to help motivate me as well to succeed for that day. Wish me luck, tomorrow is the day. I can't believe how scared & nervous I am.
