The Weekly Diary

The Weekly Diary

Each time I update the Weekly Diary I'll include weight (when I weigh myself), food, exercise, adjustments and thoughts.  Note that I eat 80% or more whole foods (not frankenfoods- the processed stuff; including "diet" anything.), exercise 6 days a week, and don't binge.  These are my 3 non-negotiables from my plan. "But, what if something happens?!" you ask. Then it is history; the moment happens and is over- so live in the present and move forward.  Reflect, live in the present and move forward.

Exercise: Kiddie-bits (walking and moving like you did when you were a kid...all day long: not using chair arms, stair handrails, your joints, etc., moving fast to get somewhere, making every muscle movement count.)  I am not home as often as I thought I would be, and all my exercise plans revolve around my being home in the morning and the evening.  I am revamping this plan.  I ordered a 90-day work-out DVD set quite a while before I put my plan into action; it hasn't arrived yet.

Exercise: Jillian Michaels 90-day work-out.  It finally came in the mail.  I researched and purchased this work-out plan for two reasons:  I am bored without diversity in my work-outs and won't stick to them.  I thought about it ahead of time and know that to be true from past experience. This DVD work-out plan changes up every week.  And-  I've watched Jillian on The Biggest Loser and know that she has a huge caring heart along with her steely approach. I feel like she is a "friend."

Exercise: 30 min Jillian work-out ( I call them Blast-outs).  Noticed today that I'm NOT hungry. Fascinating and cool.  But-  I am researching and my little bucking pony wants me to munch for focus and organization.  So I thin-sliced a large cucumber and munched hard and loud to my heart's content.  Bucking pony went back to the corral.  I felt satisfied.)
