Starting AGAIN!

MrsOutlaw1

well here I am again, every time its the life style plan change I'm going for but somehow I just end up distracted. always 'starting again on Monday'

Anyways, I need real motivation and a realistic advice. I've been tracking my calories this week to see exactly how many calories I over eating. Considering MFP advises 1200 its a lot!

I am from NOW cutting out extra sugars, crisps, fizzy drinks. I was considering lowering carbs? Monday is gym joining day (I've always worked out from home before) What is the best work out scheduled to stick to?

as you can see I clueless as to where I should start. any advise will be much appreciated.

I'm in my 4th week of my new lifestyle change. I started out by cutting all sugar from my diet including diet sodas. I no longer use sugar of any kind in my coffee or tea. Drink lots of water. Instead of cutting everything out at once, try one thing at a time. Sugar is the biggest, so I did that first. I've increased the amount of veggies and fruits I eat. Also good snacks if you can eat them are nuts, but don't overdue. (they help you feel full) I go to the gym 3 times a week doing 90 minutes on the treadmill. For me it works out well if i do it early in the morning, otherwise I would find an excuse not to go. having someone go with you also helps, you feel bad if the other person is depending on you. I started out slow but have been able to increase my stamina. I'm now doing 3.5 to 3.8 with an incline of 2.0. I tried running but I'm not ready for that yet. My knee started to bother me. I've noticed since I've lost 10 pounds the pain in the knee is gone. Once I loose some more weight i will start weight training, don't want to start too soon, you don't want to turn your fat into muscle. Don't get disheartened if it doesn't come off as quickly as you want it. Slow an steady is the way to go. Think of it as a way to get yourself healthy, not a diet. I hope this helps. Good luck! You can do it.
