One year ago I made a vow to
myself and my family to take better care of myself and make the necessary
lifestyle changes through exercising and better eating habits. I'm proud to say
that I am almost at my goal weight and hard work really does pay off! To all of
you on this journey, be patient and trust the process!
I have been receiving a lot of
questions about my workout plan and eating habits so I thought I'd share.
WORKOUT PLAN:
- I joined a boot camp [Bfit Athletic Club, www.bfitathleticclub.com] which incorporated cardio and strength training in every workout. DO NOT be afraid of weights if you desired weight loss and toning.
- I workout at least 4-5 times a week either at the gym or at home. I have a pinterest page full of high intensity training workouts for the days I workout at home or I run a few miles on my treadmill.
- I stop using my family as an excuse but instead as motivation. If my husband is unavailable during my gym time then I take my kids with me. If I have to take my kids to extracurricular activities, then I always have my workout equipment (jump rope, kettlebell etc..) with me and workout while waiting.
- Surround yourself with people who have the same goals in mind (family, friends, gym buddies). When you lack motivation, this is where you will find it.
EATING PLAN:
- I purchased an online book called Beyond Diet which teaches you about food. The good and the bad. I highly recommend this book. Its very realistic and not a diet but lifestyle change. It has meal plans incorporated in the book.
- I plan our meals weekly and type it up in on an excel spreadsheet.
- Portion control is KEY!! I measure almost everything I eat.
- Stay away from sugar. Stevia, xylitol are natural alternatives.
- Drink plenty of water daily. Half of your body weight in ounces. Add fruit, stevia if needed.
- No white food. Instead, brown rice, quinoa, sweet potatoes, sprouted whole grain bread (Ezekial bread), etc…
- I'm a foodie so I do enjoy food. When I do eat outside of my plan its in MODERATION.
