Diet and exercise plan for 4/28/17

I am pondering this thought as I am writing.  I realize that I have a rather unique blog about diet and exercise and making such plans.  This plan would have an example of 1200.  This plan would have each meal with a specific amount of calories.  Here it is below.  Caloriewise, this would be a great goal.  As for exercise, I am not sure how much exercise I should do considering the amount of calories I will be consuming daily.  My goal for now is for 15 minutes per day for the time being.

Breakfast
8:30 AM
300 calories

Snack 1
9:45 AM
100 calories

Lunch
11 AM-12:30 PM

Snack 2

Dinner

Diet plan for 4/27/17

Breakfast
Usually consumed with either coffee, water, tea, or juice.  The meal is usually small and are consumed between 8-9 AM.

Lunch
Often times it is the largest meal of the day.  I wonder what will happen if I were to consume a big breakfast and a lighter lunch.  However, that doesn't usually happen.  That way, it might go a long way into changing my weight loss goals.  Lunch is usually conserved between 11:30 AM and 1:30 PM.

Dinner
Out of the three meals, this is usually the smallest meal per day.  The average amount of calories is usually less than for breakfast and lunch.  I usually consume dinner between 3:30-4:30 PM.  It is also a lighter meal than breakfast and lunch, but I also consume the same food that I consume at lunch at times.  I wonder what would happen if my diet was more diverse.

Snacks
I often consume fruits or canned fruits as snacks.  Sometimes I would consume 3 while other times I would consume 2, or 1, or even 4.  My plan is to consume less than 200 calories per snack.  Maybe my plan to consume less should be less than 150 calories instead of 200.

This plan would have an example of 1200.  This plan would have each meal with a specific amount of calories.  Here it is below.  Caloriewise, this would be a great goal.

Breakfast
8:30 AM
160 calories

My goal is to lose weight and keep it off.  The problem is, I am not so sure about my goals.  I have no idea about the number of calories that I consume on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.  I have no idea how much I want to weigh.  It is as if I have to follow not only doctor and nutritionist's order, but to follow my instinct.  A healthy diet and exercise are not just what I want to do, they are what I should do.  I am a diabetic and I have made excuses.  The truth is, I have none.  I do plan to also exercise as well.  However, the problem with me is, I have made too many excuses and have failed and failed often.  I have, therefore, procrastinated.  I haven't gone to a gym in over a year.  I can't swim, plus there isn't an exercise I truly love, much less, like.  My goals and instincts are to change all of that.

Just like yesterday, I guess

My plan to exercise will be on my exercise forum.  I am on a natural high that I truly thank God for. I am done with the heavy load of carrying what others think.  I have struggled for years with this issue. I want others to see the Jesus in me.  I do want others to see that beautiful personality that I have been told that I have.  I have future goals in mind.  Life is too short not to follow one's own goals.

My diet plan will be like this:
Diet plan:
Breakfast
Apple
1/4 cup Raisins
1 cup coffee

Snack 1
1 orange

Lunch
*Easter Dinner, which I plan to eat moderately

Snack 2

Here is the true story:
My goal is to consume 1200 calories per day, but I realize that it won't always be possible.  I have to see calories as a budget or so.  I went to the doctor this morning and that is one of the things that I have learned about how much I can consume.  I have also struggled with having black and white thinking most of my life, which means all or nothing.  I am a person who has no clue how to relax, but I will.  It will take a lot of hard work, but I have to tell myself that I can do it.

No excuses

My plans have been hard to follow.  It can either be forgetfulness or just a matter of giving up.  It could very well be both.  I have a problem that I need to address.  I am in need of help.

From April 4th

Reflection of today and a discussion about last nights' post

Last night, I didn't make any plans because I was quite "busy" and quite manic.  It is as if I was high and all seemed right with the world.  As I am writing this, I realize that maybe I should make plans according not to just my weight, but to the sum of all of my issues.  I have hormonal issues, muscular-skeletal issues, emotional, and anxiety issues.  Wow, I wonder what role diet and exercise really place as far as all of those health issues go.  I am now concerned about my health the way I have not been so before.  So basically, a good plan for me would be based on whole foods, a limit on juices, and on having diabetes.  I have been seeing a nutritionist over the years and I admit that it can be quite overwhelming, but maybe it is my own fault.  I have to answer why I am really so overwhelmed.  That is a good start, and that is what I need.  I need not just a good start, but a start. That will go a mighty long way into how I plan my daily diet and exercise routines.

Just being creative

I am elated.  All is right with the world.  I am a happy person.  The clouds must be in the sky.  I guess it is true.  I am trying to be wise.  I realize that this is not foolish, and this is not the forum to do so, I admit.  I have no immediate plans.  I am on a break.
