Ramping UP

These last few weeks have been disastrous for my eating. I'm home from school and with the holidays here, I've been really slipping.
1. Keep track of food on MFP, this has been the one thing that has always helped. Not necessarily saying I cant have a particular food, because that always ends up with me eating said food anyway and lots of it.
2. Enroll in a workout class at school again, possibly 2.
3. Be forgiving of myself when I slip up. I know it will be hard to going back to a restricted diet. It's ok to eat some sugary or fried foods... just don't give up and eat all of them.0 -
1. Drink 100oz Water a day.
2. Log in everyday
3. Food Log
4. Run 15-20 miles a week
5. BE HONEST with myself!

In no particular order
10,000 steps via my iPhone - this may mean walking around the floor at work
Water, Water, Water
Tracking - Adding what I eat to my diary as soon as possible so I do not forget
Being accountable - This is for me, I am trusting I love myself enough to be accountable for what I eat and what happens to me in the end.
I do hate starting a weight loss challenge/adventure/livestyle change at the new year
but it happens. I will just have to put that thought away and not equate it to any type of negative thought or outcome

Good idea-

3) train for metric century bike ride (registration opens on the 15th)

5) simple strength work each day including 10 squats, 10 push ups, and 1-2 other exercises

Love this!! Never heard of the 6 p's.
So here is my list of things I will do everyday- Log ever single day - including weekends, accurately and consistently.
- Exercise 4 hrs each week at the very least.
- Get a new battery for my heart rate monitor and use it! Then eat back exercise calories.
- Drink at least 2 litres of water/herbal teas daily. NO MORE COLA (diet or otherwise)
- Take care of how I look - put a little effort into dressing nicely/hair/makeup. Just because I'm a mom of 3 doesn't mean I can look like p*ss
- Take a little time out to myself to relax ALONE.
Sorry my list is huge and I could think of more lol. Best of luck everyone x0 -
1. the late-night snacking stops now. NOW-d'ya understand - f' goodniss sake!
2. you get back in the sea and start swimming again. Christmas is over and its time to move on, even if it means getting a wetsuit on you get moving.
3. daily yoga - no excuse and plenty to gain.
4. open MFP diary
5. put the pull-up bar up and restart bodyweight sessions.0 -
1. Start eating low carb again which for me it means under 20 carbs a day
2. no more snacking
3. exercise at least 5 days a week
4. log my food every day to keep me on track
5. get my fluid intake in every day
6. stop being so hard on myself0 -
1. To exercise 3-4 days a week
2. Sleep!!! (I get 3-5 hours at best a night now)
3. Increase water intake. I am rarely thirsty, so that one is hard for me.
4. Use a food scale for more accurate logging.0 -
The 6 Ps are my new motto. Love that!
1. Track via food scale everything. I log everything currently but have started to eye ball food portions. I have also plateaued with my weightloss. Hmmmm...I bet they are related!
2. Santa brought me Jillian Michael's Body Revolution. I will do it at 4:45 am every day until complete.
3. Continue my lunch runs 3 times a week.0 -
1) walk to work instead of taking the bus
2) taking stairs instead of elevator
3) workout 5 times a week for at least 30 mins
4) portion control instead of stuffing myself full every time
5) occasional bikram yoga/ circuit training/ pole dance classes
6) logging, logging, logging ...
made me lose 50 lbs last year, hoping to lose the last 20 too...0 -
I like all your suggestions! Here are mine!!
1. Drink half my body weight in oz of water a day. (Something I've always struggled with!)
2. Eat more veggies at lunch (I'm a teacher and usually it's just a sandwich or heated up leftovers) and to plan for lunches better
3. Get back to running 3 days a week and p90x three days!0 -
1. Start and finish T25 ( gave up once doing it)
2. Eat healthier, get in lots of veggies
3. Run my first 5K
4. Cut out sweets
5. Eat better on weekends
6. Workout 6 days a week0 -
1. Log every bite lick and taste
2. Drink more water
3. Cardio exercise at least 1 hour 3 times a week
4. Strength Training 2 times a week
5. Go dancing at least 2 times a week more if possible0 -
1. Keep drinking tons of water
2. I tell myself I HAVE to exercise at least 3x a week (but usually I do 3-5)
3. Add more strength training in.
4. Veggies - cause I always have to work on eating more of those. Also to add to this, I would like to try to get into the habit of cooking more meals. There are some weeks I get super lazy about this and we end up going out too much.0 -
Deep down, I know the changes I need to make, to be successful:
1. alcohol is a treat, for special occasions (and sometimes at the weekend)
2. Just because hubby is sitting on the couch eating icecream or potato chips, I DO NOT have to join him!
3. Exercise - when I get in the habit of exercising regularly I enjoy it, until then I just need to stick at it until it becomes enjoyable again.
4. Vegetables, if I eat more of them I don't feel hungry enough to eat large amounts of other food. I could probably add fruit here too, it's a much better choice than biscuits!
5. Don't get so hungry that I have a snack while making my lunch/dinner
6. Sugar - see number one, it needs the same treatment as alcohol!
When I put it like that, it's not so complicated. I know I have self control; I need to learn to apply it to my lifestyle/health/wellbeing in the way I do in other areas of my life.
I should probably make myself a poster with this on (but I won'tLOL)0 -
Go to the gym four times a week, five times if possible.
Cut out alcohol completely.
10.000 steps a day. I am using the Samsung gear fit and I love it!
Don't eat after 7 pm.
Drink a lot water.
Have breaks to reduce stress.
Do fun things in between!0 -

-
1. Track my food every day
2. Exercise more - i've been lazy
3. Eat better.
4. Stop making excuses as to why i'm not going to exercise today.0 -
1. Track every day - even the bad stuff!
2. Walk 7,000 steps a day
3. No chocolate what-so-ever (until fasting in Feb).
I think that is the best I can do for now. You are all very motivating. Thanks for the inspiration.0
