This is day 01 of my future. Time and time again I have gone on diets. I’ve used pills, fad diets. You name it, I’ve probably tried it. This is the first time that I’m not wanting or looking for a quick fix. I once lost about 40 lbs. on a strict vegan diet. Although, I applaud anyone who maintains a vegan lifestyle, it isn’t for everyone. Especially if it isn’t for the right reasons. In the end, I gained all of that weight back plus some. A few months ago the scale was hovering at almost 200 which was a bit of an eye opener. I started changing some things up in my diet and recently started hitting the gym. I lost about 16 lbs. although recently gained back 2. But not gaining it all back is just more motivation to really strap myself in for the long haul and do it. I’ve wasted too many years already doing nothing good for myself. Enough about the past. I am leaving that all behind me now. What I do right now, in one hour, today is what counts. I’ll worry about tomorrow when I get there.

My eating plans and goals: Drink only water. Unsweet tea as a treat once each week. Keep carbs. to a minimum. Eat lean meats/proteins, veggies and fruit.  Stick to healthy snacks - nuts/seeds, fruit, veggies, shake, cottage cheese. Limit dinner dessert - 3 times per week but must still stay under calories. 1500 calories per day to start.

My exercise plans and goals: I just wrote this out, maybe an hour ago?! I know that it will be modified as I see fit as I go along. But this is the schedule I would like to try out starting today. Sorry in advance, for some reason the blog settings or something is messing up the schedule. When I look at at it in edit, it’s all right but when I view from the blog itself, x3 and min. and such are on different lines. Sorry.
