My plan
I am posting my plan early. Why not start NOW. I feel the weigh in tomorrow will be BLAH…. But I am not giving up. I start my plan today.
My plan
No eating after 6:00PM. If I am hungry I will drink water or herb tea. No caffeine for obvious reasons and also it will also stimulate my appetite. (IF I am faint with hunger, lol, I am not stupid, I will have an apple. BUT THAT IS IT !!!) I am allowing for one glass of wine perhaps on Saturday. Just depends if I am in the mood. BRUSH TEETH after supper.
Replacing EE with writing. When I feel the urge to eat for reasons other then hunger I am going to write something, anything.
Working on organization. Prepare work meals the night before and lay out clothes. (nights before I work) And generally just do the little things now instead of leaving things until they build up.
3 Meals & 2 snacks, water, water water.
Fruits and veggies (of course!) BUT also PROTEIN and GOOD FAT. I have not been so aware lately. If I am organized and have good choices, this will be easy.
Better workouts - Gym/weights 2x, pilates 2x, yoga 1x, cardio (at least 30 minutes of high intensity, aim for 45 a couple days) 6x, I will try roller blading for the first time.
Calcium- 3 servings or supplements
NO treats in the house!
That is it. Simple and Realistic. Well the not eating after 6:00 will be tricky especially over the weekend. And EE will be ok I think. It is so devious. You think you have it under control, but then it surprises you. Oh well, forgiveness and moving forward better and stronger.
Because I read my Buddy blogs I was able to get some cool ideas and feel focussed again. Thank you Buddies.
Special thoughts for Mark who HAD his surgery!! *warm wishes and thoughtful prayers for a speedy recovery*
Have a fabulous weekend ALL 
Ohhhhhhhhh, I hope all went well with Mark. Will be sure to include him in my prayers tonight.
I like your plan.
Your plan sounds great!!! Hope you do well with it!
Sweetie, love your plan. So happy to know Mark had his surgery. From what I have read the surgery is only the beginning. We will all say some prayers for him. I’m well and trying to stay out of trouble. Bless you, Marge
I’ve been thinking of Mark a lot too. I’m sure he’s okay but I sure hope we see a post from him soon. Okay, try Roller Blading…YOU WILL LIKE IT!!! I promise. As for the EE, check out the book “Shrink Yourself” by Roger Gould, M.D. I’m reading a chapter a night and find it fascinating and haven’t had an EE episode since starting it Sunday. Awareness and education = power. I know you will agree, right??? Awesome plan!!!
Well, to me you plan seems too rigorous. I can see lots of enthusiasm coming from it and that’s good but this plan sounds like boot camp! You sure you want to turn into a laying-out-clothes-the-day-before, planning-every-meal-day-before buddy? Well, what do I know. Maybe this are happening in other aspects of your life that make you want to impose more control over your existence?
Anyway,this is just jibberish comments from the queen of no-control-in-her-life right now. Just remember that you need to be gentle to yourself, too. Don’t want to develop an OCD…
Kisses and hugs
I’m sorry to get on your back like that. I don’t know what came over me. Maybe I was trying to be amusing and failed miserably…
Anyways, best of luck. You know I love you.
Hey no worries Lid… as for the organization, I refer to only the days that I work. With a male in the house (well 2 if you count Oscar) it seems to get messy and disorganized QUICKLY. I just want to plan my lunch and supper so that I do not have to worry about that in the AM. This way I can focus on my workouts and maybe watching the news. Maybe do some chores, but not have to do everything. This way, I have clothes to wear…lol God forbid I go to work naked. And my meals are healthier. I had a heck of a time this past week with not taking enough food to work so I was eating at night when I got home. Not good.
I have been completely reckless and unfocused. And frankly NOT having a plan has lead me astray.
I noticed that I suck when I am competing whether it be friendly or not. I mean I just do not engage and that is strange, because some seem to be so good. I completely disengage. And yet with my run this AM, I was so cheering me on. It was just me and the park I was running in and it was awesome.
I get hard on myself when I am failing myself. And I can see it. I just want to have a plan so that I can be proud of me instead of being a big poop. And trust me, a happy me is a me who is not stuffing relentless treats into her sad sad self. The only way for me to address some of my issues is to get real!!! And pretending that EE is ok and a part of my life is unacceptable. I want to know why and this is my journey THIS weekend/week
Love ya babe… You know it. You better know it!
*hugs*
The good nutrition is not a chore and is second nature to me. It is the emotions that I jump on and deal with. Why do I insist on taking up failure instead of success as an “ambition”?
