Current Plan

Ok as I mentioned in my last post, I am failing at my attempt at getting healthy.  So much for starting July 1st, huh?  In any case, I also mentioned I am stubborn so here is my latest plan....

Exercise:  Run on treadmill based on my half marathon schedule on Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.  On my off days I want to swim with my babies at the Y or take the puppy out for long walks if the weather will allow it!  I would also like to get an extra 2-3 miles in at least 3 times per week if I can!

Diet:  Holy cow this just awful.  My eating habits are soooo bad right now.  Here is what I am thinking...

Breakfast: Slim Fast Bar or Shake OR Oatmeal
Lunch:  Something under 300 cal...thinking frozen dinner or sandwich
Dinner:  Slim Fast Bar or Shake
Snacks:  Anything that isn't carb loaded haha - thinking fruit or veggies only

I have to figure this food stuff out!!  I joined WW so I want to stick to that...so the food is totally up in the air for right now until I figure out how to not starve all of the time or fixate on food and be an emotional eater!

FAILURE

Yes, that is right.  I still haven't gotten my act together.  I am desperately trying to between the holiday weekend and potty training my son and puppy, I am just failing miserably!  Luckily I am horribly stubborn so I will never give up!!  I am trying to get into a habit/routine with not only my eating but my workouts...I am wondering if I am trying to do too much all at once?  Do I need to focus on one and then the other?  I am thinking food first given that the exercise is only going to make me even more hungry than I am?  Any advice folks?  What works for you?

Day 1 Recap and Revising Plans

So I already failed on day one.  No, I am not going to choose to think that way actually now that I say/type it.  I didn't exactly follow my plans yesterday...on day 1.  Disappointing.  So I am revising my plan.  I am going to stick to the workout routine for my half marathon training (below) and then have slim fast in the morning and evenings.  I tend to be able to go without breakfast in the morning and be ok as long as I can have a diet soda (I don't though :) ) and then I royally screw up dinners.  So, my new thought is if I can restrict my dinner with a slim fast shake maybe that will help.  I am also going to attempt to do something physical while the kids eat dinner until I get a little bit more self control.  For dinner I am going to pre-portion food out from the dinner the night before.  So, that is my new plan of attack for this.  Hopefully day 2 goes more according to plan than day 1!!!
