Ok so at the start of a new program there are a few things that you must do....
1, take measurements including the dreaded weight measurement and log them somewhere safe
2, decide on your food plan
3, decide on your workout plan
4, work out your goals
5, as Bill Phillips says...'you must cross the abyss'
So I am in the process of sorting all of this out.
Food: this is how I roll:
I will keep a sneak peek on my calories, but I won't be ruled by them. I will aim for around 1800 calories each day. Protein, carbs & good fat at each meal, 6 x per day.
I will work to the 'Eat Clean' rules ... If it doesn't come from the ground or have a mother I won't be eating it!
Now I am aiming for a lifestyle change not a strict crash diet, I want to enjoy my food and not feel deprived so there are allowed treats if all else is on track:
1 x cinnamon swirl per week.
Friday & Saturday nights are treat meals and can include some vino.
If my day has been good I can reward myself with 2 cubes of dark chocolate(this is occasionally allowed during the day if work stress has me craving)
I am aiming for 80/20 not 100% so a slight stumble if the wagon does not mean I have blown it for the week.
Don't forget to hydrate with a minimum of 2 litres of water daily....
So I am happy with my plan... I am committing to this today..... This is going to stop the yoyo-ing and start the body fat loss xx
"I wanna be a fit chick, because a woman with a physique is so much more than how good she looks. A well built physique is a status symbol. It reflects you worked hard for it, no money can buy it, you can't inherit it, you cannot borrow it, you cannot steal it, you cannot hold onto it without constant work, it shows dedication, it shows discipline, it shows self respect, it shows dignity, it shows patience, work ethic & passion. This is why this lifestyle is attractive to me.
