THE USE OF SUPVENGENZ: I'm going to monitor my weight, calories, food, and also review all my dietary supplements and tools.
THE MINDSET: Since (and even before) my last relationship, which lasted nearly 4 years and ended horribly, I've kind of "let myself go". I stopped wanting to work out and stopped wanting to try to eat better food. Along with that came at least 15 pounds of weight and digestive problems. Once a size 5, small girl I'm now a size 11, chubby girl. I hate the word CHUBBY, it really bothers me. So now that life's better, I'm in a better situation with a great man, great soon to be step-son and a job that makes me happy, I can now move on to my weight. It's been bothering me for a little over a week now to nip it in the butt and lose some weight. Ever since I was at Applebee's with my soon to be husband and ate Three Cheese Chicken Penne and also the Chocolate Chip Cookie Sundae all by myself. He called me CHUBBY and I already mentioned I hate that word, so it hurt my feelings and now... I'm going to kick this weight's ass.
THE MOTIVATION: My motivation is myself, mostly, but also my boyfriend, Randy. And I also want to show my mom how to do it too, because she's just as mental about losing weight as I am right now. If I can do it, honestly, anyone can do it. Plus I'd like to be in better shape in order to wear shorts, bikinis, and dresses more often and not feel fat rolls when I sit down on the couch.
THE DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS: Like I said earlier, I have digestive problems. Not to gross anyone out but I probably have a bowel movement about once, MAYBE twice a week. So to conquer that problem I'm starting my supplements with ColonClenz. If ColonClenz doesn't work, I'm moving on to Acai Berry Cleanse. Detoxifying your body and removing all of the waste inside your body is a great way to jump start a weight loss plan, so I've read. After that I plan on trying the Slimquick dietary supplement for awhile and seeing how that goes.
THE BEVERAGES: Water, Water with Powder Drink Mix, Green Tea (sooo good for you) , Sprite Zero (the only pop I will be drinking. 0 calories) , Juice, Soy milk, etc.
THE FOOD:
Breakfasts -- Egg whites, turkey bacon, cereal, oatmeal, protein bars, nutrition shake, granola bars, instant breakfast, whole wheat toast, smoothies, bananas, berries, oranges, grapefruits, apples, etc.
Lunches -- Sandwiches with whole wheat bread, Low calorie soups, Salad, Grilled chicken, etc.
Snacks -- Celery, Carrots, Wheat Thins, Smoothies, Bananas, Berries, Oranges, Grapefruits, Apples, Laughing Cow Cheese, Yogurt, BAKED chips, etc.
Dinners -- I will be eating more vegetables with dinner, but my dinners are probably the most unhealthy of them all. I'm going to eat more chicken and fish than beef and pork and replace my beef with turkey meat, then also get more dark, green, leafy vegetables in my system.
Desserts -- All I'm eating for desserts is low-cal ice cream twice a week (cause I love my ice cream) and the 100 calorie snack pack cookies, possibly granola or protein bars as well.
I know as well as anyone how hard it is to stay away from the pizzas, the pastas, the burgers, the fries, and everything in between. I'm not going to completely stay away from fast food, but when I do make the choice to eat fast food, I will be looking for a healthier meal selection, such as at Jack In The Box, getting grilled chicken strips instead of a burger.
Also using whole wheat pasta and everything else as well will be better. And for a fry fix, sweet potato fries! I will never be done with pizza, so I will be able to have my pizza fix once every two weeks or even less. But if you think about it, there really is ALWAYS a healthier decision, even at a fast food restaurant. And during grocery shopping.
THE GAME PLAN:
Mondays: Walk/Jog on the treadmill for 30-45 minutes, maybe an hour. (Once I get the Wii and Wii Fit, I will be using that every day as well for about 1 hour).
Tuesdays: Walk/Jog on the treadmill for 45 minutes. Wii & Wii Fit.
Wednesdays: Walk around the neighborhood with my chihuahua, Gitsie for 30 minutes. Walk/Jog on treadmill for 20 minutes.
Thursdays: Rest Day.
Fridays: Walk/Jog on the treadmill for 45 minutes. Wii & Wii Fit.
Saturdays: Yoga/Pilates and weight training.
Sundays: Rest Day.
THE TOOLS:
Until I get the Wii & Wii Fit, I will be using FitDay.com for tracking my calories, activities, and goals online. Once I get the Wii Fit going, I will be doing it from there.
