I have lacked off in the past few week! Now, I claim I have a good reason, but the truth is, I have just lost motivation. I am going to post AT LEAST once a week on here from now on. It may not benefit anyone else, but it keeps me accountable to myself! Here is what has been rattling around in my brain for the past few weeks:
I have worked hard to lose 40 Lbs and I am pretty proud of myself, but as I look back on the past 8 months I see times in the gym where I cut my workout short because I was tired. I see times where I didn't push through the pain and really gut out a run. I see times when I settled for a night off because I had a long day at work. And what do I get from that...a state of maintenance! Instead of losing more weight or getting in better shape, I have become content to simply hold my ground.
Today, I am setting the wheels in motion again...and I am going to push harder than before! Beyond working out and running, I am implementing a new diet! Its called the breakfast diet...and its not for the faint of heart! Here's what it looks like:
Breakfast: Dannon Light & Fit Yogurt (2 - 6oz packages) = 160 calories
Skim Milk or Fresh Orange Juice (1 - 8oz cup) = 100-150 calories
Lunch: Oatmeal (1 Cup sweetened with 2 tsp of Turbinado sugar) = 340 Calories
Water to drink
Dinner: 3 Egg Whites (with Salsa or Low fat cheese) = 100 calories
Whole Wheat Toast (2 slices NO BUTTER) = 100 calories
Snack: Salad with Olive Oil based dressing only = 75 calories per 2 cups of salad
Soy meal replacement shake= 150 calories
Thats It! It is pretty filling and is rich in fiber, protein and not loaded with fat!
One Final Thought...
We (humans) are the only living thing on the planet that eat for pleasure, we are the only ones that eat beyond necessity and indulge far beyond what our body needs for sustenance. Make the change today!
