I'm not even sure if anyone is reading this, but, to be honest, THIS isn't about anyone BUT me. There have been many developments since the last time I've written, but I am newly dedicated to working on my plan...I recently visited to the doctor, and she shared with me (which is no real BIG news, but it is important) the three things ANY person can do to re-invent their weight loss and get their life plans in order:
1. Get adequate sleep: How many of us can honestly say we get 7-8 hours of sleep a night?!? And, with the invention of DVR, and tv that can be watched online via Amazon TV and Hulu, watching live TV has become a thing of the past! So, no need to really stay up late to watch tv shows that can be watched later...and, if you see a change in your energy, isn't that extra hour or two of sleep per night really worth it?
2. Exercise: My doctor - and the federal goverment - recommends at least 30 minutes a day...of course, when she told me this, I looked at her perplexed...fitting in 30 minutes just to do my own nails, these days, is a TRIP! But, a great way to fit it in is doing it first thing in the morning. Get it out the way and, in the evening, when you get home from work and are so tired, guess what?!? Your exercise is already done!
3. Eat a balanced diet: "Duh" to this one too, right?!? Adding more fruit and vegetables to your diet is great. Also, pulling from more sources of protetin - besides red meat - can add additional nutrition to your diet. I have been experimenting more with new sources, like quinoa and brown rice, with my meals. Aspargus has also become a favorite of mine too! So easy to fix, but yet such a great flavor!
I wonder if anyone else can think of great ways to jumpstart/reinvent your diet plans...do share, if so :)
