I did okay eating on Wednesday, but didn't make it to the gym. My son's pinewood derby race is Saturday, and we went to a friend's house to work on the car. By the time we got home, it was too late.
This blog will be my way of tracking my own fitness goals. I will post every day what I ate at each meal and how much and what types of exercise I've done.
Some strategies:
Eating: As soon as possible, I will begin to use the Weight Watchers point system to manage my eating. I've done this before and lost weight and it seems like a good plan for me. I will try to note these numbers in my posts as well.
I will also follow the five eating rules in Bob Greene's book Total Body Makeover:
Have an eating cut-off time. Mine will be 8:00 pm.
Eat a nourishing breakfast. I'm terrible about this.
Drink a minimum of 6 glasses of water per day.
No alcohol. I'm not a drinker at all, so this won't be a problem.
Make eating a conscious act: no mindless snacking.
Exercise: I will exercise every day. I will try to make it to the gym 3 times per week. On nights that I don't go, I will walk around my neighborhood at least 2.5 miles.
My workouts will be taken from the aforementioned Bob Greene book. It's pretty good.
