28 Days Later
I completed 21 days on plan, then yesterday I had my day off (planned).
OH and I ordered pizza for dinner. We could only manage a few slices each for once. Because I wasn't feeling 'this is bad', I didn't binge, just ate till I was full.
So my new plan is to stay on track for a full 28 days - from today until June 5.
I am planning to eat as healthily as possible during that time.
However, today won't count (except for the calorie goal), because I have to finish leftover pizza and then dinner is steak that my husband got yesterday for a bargainiferous $2.52 (£1.26) from the shop at his work. I am serving it with baked sweet potatoes and green veggies...and mayo, for me, of course .
But here is my plan for the rest of the 28 days. It is all stuff I have done before...but not all together. It is going to be tough, that is what I want. I am ready now, after a year of working on my habits, to do this just for a while.
I want to see a major transformation in my body over the next 28 days.
Food plan
1. Between 1700 and 2000 calories per day. If I do overeat, I have to have saved the calories BEFOREHAND by eating fewer than 1700 calories.
2. Drink only water.
3. No sugar, alcohol or caffeine.
4. No added salt.
5. Eat at least six pieces of fruit and veg per day.
6. Make sure all meals are as healthy as possible - i.e. I will shop for healthy meals and avoid much cheese and all mayo, junk etc. If I have to eat out or grab something on the run, I will grab the healthiest option at the time. I really want to eat super-healthy this month. I will post what I ate on here in a separate post EVERY DAY...err except today!
Here is my exercise plan. I am actually putting it on a daily schedule, inspired by Tatum's Mom. I need this kind of discipline at the moment. It is also very strict - 8 hours per week - I am ready for that!
MON
C25K, 20 minute ab workout, 30 minute walk
TUES
1 hour Pilates
WED
C25K, 20 minute arm workout, 20 minute ab workout
THUR
30 mins aerobics, 20 minute leg workout, 30 minute walk
FRI
C25K, 20 minute ab workout, 20 minute arm workout
SAT
long walk - at least 1.5 hours
SUN
20 minute ab workout, 20 minute arm workout
I am also going to be more generally active - gardening, cleaning etc.
Here is my appearance plan...do something every day to contribute to sorting my appearance out. I know I could make a lot more of myself!
And in general, I want to work at least 7 hours a day this month (I work at home and I have been slacking!), and I want to make an effort to do stuff at the weekend. I also want to work on making my relaxation time quality time during which I really do relax.
Definitely the toughest challenges I have set myself so far...it is only 28 days, let me see how well I can do! My goal weight...you are all gonna think I am crazy...is 150 pounds. I just want to see how close I can get!
