I have a confession to make.
I love to make lists. Seriously, I have a notebook full of random lists. From grocery lists to packing lists, dinner lists to what-to-do lists I've pretty much made them all. Generally though what you'll find in my notebook most often in my "weight loss list" which I have decided to post on here for everyone to see. Which is quite an accomplishment for me considering I won't even let my husband look at them . I guess I get embarrassed by all the times I've written the same thing down before only to fail before I ever even got started.
Weight loss List
1. Start an appropriate exercise regime. I would really like to start running, and eventually try kickboxing. I really, REALLY want to kickbox!
2. Cut out refined white sugar, refined starches, and soda!! Switch to whole grains (especially brown rice, lentils, barley, beans).
3. Start eating 50% raw and 50% healthy cooked foods. Eventually transitioning to 75% raw and 25% healthy cooked foods.
4. Start incorporating at least one green juice into my diet. I eventually want to do the 92 day juice feast, but not for awhile. I'm going to save that for after I've established a healthier lifestyle.
5. Drink lots of water! A no brainer, but as it stands I drink entirely to much soda and even though I've switched to diet soda I still feel like it drags me down and I want to cut it out all together.
Well there's my list and I'm going to start working on mastering one goal at a time.
Again thanks for reading!

Congratulations on your new resolutions!
ReplyDeleteEating whole, fresh fruits & veggies will boost your energy and make you feel SO AMAZING! I eat more/less raw depending on the season and find that works best for my body. In the summertime I'm about 75% raw! Winter time...only about 20%.
Something that I was skeptical of but am now a convert is mixing spirulina into smoothies or juices. Not only is it good for you but it adds a fresh, sweet taste to your drink. Good stuff!
My energy levels and body shape has improved greatly just by taking the dog on longer walks, which he, of course, enjoys immensely. We usually walk for a total of 50 minutes a day (20 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the afternoon/evening). Speaking just from my personal experience, trying to get into an intense exercise regime is impractical because I tend to wear down quickly/get sick/lose too much weight. However, as I'm sure you know, each person's body responds differently to each activity.
Take care of yourself and many happy blessings on your new journey. I'll check in on your progress.
