My plan, to lose 100 lbs by this time next year. My first steps started yesterday, not a huge step, but not exactly a baby step either.
I work evenings, so that means that I generally eat my supper at 7pm, and then go and sit down for the rest of the night at work, then pack up and go home at just before midnight. So, that means that I am basically taking in all those calories and doing nothing with them. So going forward, I will eat my supper at 5pm, and walk on my normal lunch break for 30 minutes, or as many laps as I can get around the building in 30 minutes.
Last night, I did just that, while a little hungry later on the in evenings, I enjoyed the walk and the fresh air. I certainly look forward to going again this evening. I drank some Propel water for my beverage since it’s low in sugary calories like the various other softdrinks. I also had one diet Pepsi, but I think if I am going to drink something like that, I will be drinking diet Dr. Pepper.
For me the snack machine is probably the big one. I will most certainly have to cut that out! The things in there are cheap and full of nothing. I am thinking pretzels or something similar to snack on, maybe even some carrot and celery sticks.
I’ve also read and heard about it most of my life, that you should actually eat 3 meals a day. Not huge, making your feel full meals, but at least something in there, which will curb the need to snack so much. So, I’ve started to try and eat at most 4 times a day. Three being meals, and the forth being a healthy snack of some sort.
So, as it goes my initial plan is this:
- Eat earlier at work.
- Exercise on normal lunch break.
WatchCut out the snacks and sugary sodas!- Eat 3 balanced meals a day.
- If I eat a snack, make it a healthier one, no more chocolate bars, bags of chips, etc.
- Exercise outside of work at least 3 days a week.
This was to be posted yesterday, but hey, I got a little behind, trying to do something in my new house, that I am trying to enjoy!
