As do many Americans, I want to lose some weight. My plan is to have a regular plan to get more healthy, and in the process, lose 30-35 lbs. Though the world is not interested in my health plan and progress it helps me to write out my thoughts, experiences and feelings. Therefore, I am starting a new category for health and weight loss.
This afternoon I walked 3 miles for the first time in about 2 mos. I am sweating and it definitely elevated my heart rate. It is rather sad to have this much effect from just walking 3 miles! But it is what it is. In the hot Carolina sun, maybe not too surprising.
It’s pretty simple. The main thing is to HAVE a plan and do it daily. Consistency is always the key. It is also so easy to change your diet in summer, with all the fresh produce. So here goes.
My Daily Plan:
walk 3 miles
exercise routine indoors for leg lefts, abs, stretching
4 containers of ice water per day
calcium, fish oil, St. john’s wort for now
cereal for breakfast – very light on breads
fresh fruit, salad for lunch with lots of produce goodies
meat & veggies at night
frozen yogurt, sherbet, popsicles, real juice bars or light ice cream if anything
1 cup green tea (with others for flavor) at night
