I know that I’m not very good at being consistent. I’m impulsive and any time there’s chocolate within 10 yards of me, I hone in on it and devour it. It’s a gift and a curse. Unfortunately, those 20 pounds I want to lose won’t slide off by eating all the chocolate I see. Or the melted brie and French bread I favor as an afternoon snack. And I made sure nobody saw me demolish the family size bag of Barbecue Baked Lays the other day. They’re baked. Therefore, they are healthy… ahem. Anyways.
That is why this month I am focusing on two things for the entire month:
- Keeping my calories below 1300 each day.
- Working out every other day for an hour.
Let me tell you, I know these are going to be difficult. They seem simple, but the mere fact that they seem daunting attests to how inconsistent I have been!
Now, I’m all about check lists and using simple math (I gave up on long division in the 4th grade), so let’s break those two goals down a little.
- Keeping my calories below 1300 each day, leaving a little leeway for error.
- Breakfast: 300 calories
- Lunch: 360 calories
- Snack: 120 calories
- Dinner: 420 calories
- Working out every other day for an hour.
- I am going to focus on cardio for the next month, primarily using the elliptical because I have weak ankles and hate the treadmill.
- I may do some ab work, because who doesn’t love the feeling of your core burning every time you take a step?
- Well, if I feel up to it, I may throw in some Zwows, or some other workout I’ve pinned on Pinterest.
Feel free to follow me there. I’m on Pinterest way more than any other site. 🙂
