So i have invested my time and money in a 12 week program and I am feeling really good about it. It includes a nutrition outline (almost exactly to the only i am doing right now), fitness instruction, and positive self affirmations. The whole positive self talk thing I thought was kind of silly, but i mean hell, why not, I think it will do me some good. So everyday I am writing down 5 things I can do to achieve my goal for that day, 2 things I can do to support and encourage others, and then at the end of the day you write 3 positive things you did and one negative (focus on the positive right!) and then you mark if you achieved your plan for that day. I really like it cuz you make new goals everyday. Also, the book I bought has a new success story for every day and Bill Phillips tells me how to love myself lol. I am actually super excited about it but like I said, I am invested in this... I dont want to start something I am not going to finish.
I've been doing the 6 meal diet plan for 2 days now but im officially going to start my 12-week plan tomorrow with the workout, meal plan, and "positiveness" lol. It is actually going to take me a little bit longer than 12 weeks to finish the program because of my surgery on May 1st.... so i wont be able to exercise for 10 days, but i will still be able to stick to the meal plan.
So tonight I took some god awful pictures of me in a bikini as my before picture (I kinda think it's part of the whole deal, you take the worst picture ever and post it in your journal so you have to look at it everyday until you reach your goal lol), weighed myself, and measured my body. Right now I'm 173lbs and, between my arm, chest, waist, stomach, hips, thighs, and calves I am a total of 218.8 inches of woman!!! (ok, everytime I freak out about how big this number is, my positive thinking tells me "it's ok, you are doing great making better choices to better your body, health, and lifestyle".... god I am good at this self talk stuff lol). So that's all I have to report for tonight... here is my food journal for today
