Exercise plan for 10/1/14

I will make a specific exercise plan the I can stick to.  Today was a break day.  Tomorrow I exercise. I am doing well because I am energized.  Committing myself to losing weight and actually doing it is something that I not only look forward to.  Actually it is something I think it will be good for my mind and body.  Exercise is good for my body.  The last thing I want to do is to waste money and waste time on obsessive thoughts and checking.  I will be okay once I exercise my demons and move my muscles.  Maybe I should do more than just walk.  I have much at my disposal since I have been to physical therapy.  I will use what I have learned.

I need help

The truth is, I plan to make another exercise plan.  It is too sad and too bad that I have failed in my plan.  My plan for September is to walk for at least 15 minutes per day I don't have a break.  Maybe I should just do exercises at home from tv or from online videos.  My food plans take a lot of time and patience to plan so it is like I need to start over again as well.  I am in need of help.

It will and is about time.

It is time to take care of myself.  Today would be a good start.  Taking care of dogs and cats are a good way to exercise or to workout.  My plan would be to take a break from the usual planning of menus and actually doing some exercising.  It is as if I want and need to start all over again,.

It is about time

I have a confession or two to make.  Lately a lot of the menus are actually what I consume for the day.  They are not planned in advance, but they are written either as I go alone or they are what I eat anyways.  My diet has gotten poor.  It has gotten so poor that in fact, I had to thrown away healthy foods that I could have eaten a while ago.  Instead of nourishing my body it became nothing more than a waste of money.  Next time I would like to formulate a plan where there will be more fruits, vegetables, lean meats, dairy, and grains.  I admit that I do consume unhealthy foods.  I have difficulty planning foods in advance and that has been an issue lately.  I cannot take back these last couple of weeks, but at least I learned a lot from those weeks and I hope I will continue to do so.

Let's start

I know that I have taken quite a few days of break.  Starting tomorrow, this will be no more.  I have lunch and dinner to think about.  I have plenty of healthy foods in the refrigerator and in the cupboards.  I even have foods on the table.  I could fix a salad, eat leftover sausage tomato fettucini, and eat a sizable amount of fruits.  So far, that is what I have done since this morning.  I am saddened that I have not done this because I have gained weight.

Just do it.

I am slow to exercise.  I have no real plans to eat well.  I should just do it.  I have gotten lazy and that needs to stop starting today.  I am sick and tired of being a beginner.

Renewing

I guess I will be okay.  Right now, I am renewing my commitment to my health...and to myself.  I ate a whole lot today and now I am not well.  I feel better about things.

Meal Plan

I have not followed a plan and I am not sure if I can.  I did well not long ago.  I ate healthier and lost some weight.  Now I shouldn't be surprised if I have gained weight.  I realize that even if I am not hungry, I need to eat breakfast and eat a lighter lunch and an even lighter dinner.  Also, it would not hurt if I were to consume what foods and at what time.  Adding water and other drinks would not be a bad thing as well.

An example menu plan for a sample day would look like this:
7:30-8:30  Yogurt with honey
9:00-9:30   Apple
11:00-1:00 Macaroni and cheese, chicken, broccoli
2:00-2:30   Celery with peanut butter
3:30-5:00   Macaroni and cheese
6:00-7:00   Pineapple
8:00-8:30   Handful of peanuts

Should I do this at all?  These are approximate eating times or should I do this?

Breakfast
7:30-8:30 AM  Yogurt with honey
Snack 1
9:00-9:30 AM   Apple
Lunch
11:00 AM - 1:00 PM  Macaroni and cheese, chicken, broccoli
Snack 2
2:00-2:30 PM Celery with peanut butter
Dinner
3:30-5:00 PM  Macaroni and cheese
Snack 3
6:00-7:00 PM  Pineapples
Snack 4
8:00-8:30 PM  Handful of peanuts

I like the second one better since it is actually specific and it is a good way of tracking what I eat, how I eat, and when I eat.

I need a change of routine

I may be in need of changing my exercise and diet routine.  I have stopped exercising for 15 plus minutes and I have been overeating as well.  I have become a wreck.  Rather, I have lost sight about what is important.  I am a diabetic who needs to realize that she is diabetic.  Being lazy is not the answer.  Being studious is.  I need to remember why I did what I have one.  I want to purify my heart and my motives when it comes to diet and exercise.  I lose only to gain weight.  I don't want that for me anymore.

Here is my plan for today:

Breakfast
Fruit and raisins

Lunch
Meat
Vegetables
Starch

Dinner
Meat
Starch


Snack 1
Apple-Blueberry Crumb

Snack 2

Snack 3

Need of using my routine.

I exercised for more than 30 minutes this morning, but I realized that I could do better.  I have gotten lazy in my exercise regimen and my diet menu,.  I pray that I would get back to my routine.

Exercise plans for September 2014

I promise myself that I will walk at least 15 minutes per day, but I have not.  I move around and do work, but do they count as exercise?  Sure, I have done those things, but have I burned any calories doing so.  I am just writing about my exercise regimen because I barely move a muscle.  Now, it is time for me to do so.

Supplication

I am proud that I have slowed down, but I am not proud that I have gained weight.  I feel sorry about that I am sorry about.  I don't wish to give up.  I want to be honest and not take a break today.  I don't know what else to do.  Help me.

Not too proud-break

Today I am taking a break from doing a new one.  I feel so stuffed right now that I am scared of eating breakfast.  Maybe that is a bad idea.  I have been gluttonous for the past few days and I am not proud of it.  I have gained four pounds since the last time I weighed myself.
