Like many
other people I have created a New Year’s resolution for myself which included, losing
weight and stopping all destructive habits. I really came up with this idea
after the first, but better late than never, right? One thing I wanted to make
clear is that I’m not on a “diet”. I’m just trying to monitor what I eat, look
at habits that may need to be changed, and incorporate more healthy foods into
my diet.
So far, I have
been exercising every other day since January 7th. I’ve also been
monitoring what I eat and drink since the 10th. Generally what I try
to do is eat low calories one day and higher calories the next. I read somewhere
that this actually helps to rev up your metabolism. Next, I will give you a breakdown
of what I’ve been eating and drinking:
Day 1: January
10th, 2011 (High Calorie)
Breakfast:
·
2 Waffles
·
5 Turkey sausages
·
2 tbsp. Syrup (on waffles)
·
½ tsp. Butter (on waffles)
Snack:
·
Frosted Mini Wheat Cereal w/ 2% milk
Lunch/Dinner:
·
2 large Hamburgers (when I say large I’m not
playing, my stomach hurt for hours, I don’t suggest over eating.)
·
Onion rings
Water
tally: 5/ 16oz. bottles Fruit Tally: 1 serving Vegetable
Tally: 2 servings
Day 2:
January 11, 2012 (Low Calorie)
·
1 Banana
·
2 salads
·
1 yogurt
·
2 bowls of cereal
Water
tally: 5/ 16oz. bottles Fruit Tally: 3 servings Vegetable
tally: 4 servings Tea tally: 1
cup peppermint tea (good for digestion)
So, this is
what I have been doing every other day and it’s so easy. As far as exercising I
walk around the block at a brisk pace for about thirty minutes jogging here and
there. I am also doing an exercise plan that's in one of my Prevention
magazines. Later on I will provide before and after pictures also check out my
YouTube channel for updates. The videos will be up soon. I will update everyone
when they are available and I will give my YouTube channel name.
