I started this blog a few months ago, and had some good momentum for the first few weeks, then like every other time in my weight loss attempt history, the hype, slowly faded away.
What is the problem. I wish I could answer that with a honest genuine answer, but I can't.
So, tomorrow morning, the challenge begins again...no promises though. Tomorrow is a special day for me as I just started 4 month contract with the Government and I will be working set hours, Monday to Friday, days. I haven't had a set schedule like that in years, so I am hoping that the 10 hours a day work is occupying my life, it will give me less time to eat bad foods. Well thats the plan anyways.
Tomorrow I got all my tools ready to bring me success. I went to do my groceries today, loaded up with fruits and veggies. I got my protein shake powder ready as well. I bought some products from Visalus this past month and finally tomorrow I get to use the Visalus shakes as a tool in my weight loss. I got my gym close ready in my bag, so I can head there right after work...so really I am all set.
I am not going to think negatively, I am just going to go bout my day and do the best I can to stay motivated.
One thing I decided to do is take a break from my personal life. Meaning friends and socializing. Cause I am working for a department of the government where you are not allowed to access email, cell phone or internet, I am going to be without contact for almost 10 hours a day. I figure this is a good time to just go the full mile, do my own thing an take a break from everyone..i am sure everyone can use a break from me too, lol.
For the next few months, I am going to concentrate solely on myself. I just don't want to be bothered by whats going on in people lives...cause no offense, nothing can be more serious than the battle I am going through and maybe if i just concentrate on that, I can pick up my social life again one day, Healthy.
I think I might have mentioned this before in a recent blog, but I created my own meal plan sort of speak. I called it for now, the Power of Five Meal Plan.
It consists of
5 meals a day, check canada's food guide for a nice balanced meal.
5 sources of protein at each meal
5 fruits and veggies a day, combined
5 bottles of water a day
5 workout sessions a week
5 cheat meals a month, optional
I am going to play around with this for a bit, alter where I have too and document my progress on it..maybe i am on to something.
Most of my meals with be the same anyways...i pretty much eat the same stuff every day.
My problem is this....each and every day, i eat well in part..extremely well..i eat fruits, veggies, lean meats, fish, protein shakes and i usually split it over 4 or 5 meals a day....the only problem is this...after eating healthy all day...i go out and ruin it with one bad meal at a restaurant or fast food..pretty much doubling my daily input with one horrible meal..that has got to stop and i am hoping less contact with my friends for now, will help me do that....
wish me luck
