Okay, day one.
My name is Wendy, 30 years old. I am 5'2" and weigh 145 lbs. I gained 15 lbs in the last two months, as I live here in Florida where we were hit by two hurricanes in a row and was stuck in a house (too much destruction, etc., outside) with my two year old without work, horses (my obsession) or exercise for two months.
When I have nothing to do, I pig out and, boy, did we pig out .. it was all there was to do! She even got pudgy but has already lost it....brat! Last year this time I was 126 lbs. What happened?! Fifteen lbs. does not sound like a lot but on me it looks like 30 as I am short and small boned. Even my face is bloated and distorted. I have friends who gain 35 lbs and look great, just not my luck I guess.
The week before Halloween I started a diet/exercise program but, of course, all the Halloween parties and goodies sidetracked me. I always gain about 5 lbs at Halloween. So, today is the new start.
MY GOAL:
130 lbs with a consistent weight loss of 2-3 lbs a week. Total loss of 15 lbs.
MY CALORIE PLAN:
1400 calories a day with last meal at 6:00 p.m.
MY EXERCISE PLAN:
Two mile walk with my daughter and Ojo, our dog, at 6:00 p.m. every evening...first priority, all else can wait.
Toning exercises randomly when time.
MY DANGERS (TO AVOID):
1. DRINKING..it's not the alcohol, it's the remaining three day hangover where I proceed to eat about 10,000 calories a day and do nothing but sleep.
2. NOT EXERCISING. I need to make time for just 30 to 40 minutes a day.
3. NIGHTTIME. I am RAVENOUS at night, more so if I eat a lot during the day, and my mind just rationalizes all my goals/angel-on-my-shoulder away.
4. CANDY, COOKIES, BREADY-STUFF. Need I explain?!
DAY 1:
145 lbs.
No jeans or shorts fit.
Plan to ride one hour.
Plan to walk two miles, 30 minutes.
Plan 1400 calories.
Will update my diary tomorrow. I have a feeling this diary will help me succeed......
