Taking a break

Taking a Break

My exercise goal...for now

I have my goals for today.  I believe that we should all have goals.  Exercise is a goal that I don't often write about.  I have been exercising for the better part of five minutes for the past few days.  My goal is to exercise for that short enough of time for a while now.  I plan to exercise daily.  It is because I cannot be scared to not end up quitting a plan.  Five minutes will soon be the minimum amount of minutes that I exercise.  My hope is that I will increase the number of minutes I exercise.

Goals in mind

I have set goals in mind and that is for tomorrow to actually cook.  I don't know what to cook for tomorrow.  I plan to cook a fulfilling meal that both my mother and I can eat.  Maybe burgers and baked fries will be lunch for tomorrow.  I have to realize that in order to lose weight, I have to follow my goals.  

Rules to keeping it simple

I promise that I will not procrastinate and for the first time in a long time, I have not.  I realize that when it comes to planning meals in particular, I have to be patient and think about what I need to do and what I need to eat.  My health is very important to me and procrastination hasn't done me any good.  I realize and know that procrastination, impatience, not to mention unhealthy eating such as trigger foods only lead to a changed mind.  I want to focus on a plan that will work.  My goal is to consume between 1200 and 1800 calories per day.  I realize that I have not.  My plan for tomorrow is to consume leftovers.  I feel that leftovers are okay because we live in a world where there are too many people starving, meanwhile there are those who are being wasteful.  Those who are starving cannot afford to waste.  I have learned to be thankful for what I have.  Food is to be enjoyed, and to be eaten for fuel.  I believe that meal planning should be based on a realistic schedule and should be specific.  Remember to keep it simple.

KEEP IT SIMPLE.

KEEP IT SIMPLE.

Wow.  The above words are the hardest to do.  The sad truth is, there are days when I don't like to eat fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.  I am like the little kids who rather eat french fries than the broccoli.  That and the tendency to change my mind are the reasons why I had difficulty following a meal plan.  How do I follow a meal plan?  I can create one very well, but following it has been hard. I could pinch myself because I did not follow the simple rule above.  I have all of the rules and regulations, but even those all amount to one thing and that is to keep it simple.  There is no more need for ground rules or anything like that.  With a little bit of patience, anything is possible.

Keep it simple

I have a binge problem.  Therefore, I did not get to follow everything on the plan that has been laid out for me.  I would like to be able to work around this problem.  I don't know what else to do or how else to deal with the issue at hand.  I consume more than 2000 calories per day on some days.  Maybe I should anyway.  I am trying to consume 1550 calories or less.  Maybe that is the issue.  I am either trying too hard or I am not trying hard enough.

KEEP IT SIMPLE.

This weekend I have tried at least to follow the daily diet and exercise plans.  Maybe the issue is that I deal too much.  I expect perfection and following the rules to the letter.  That is a type of black and white thinking that does not work.  It has ended up doing me no good.  I have the ground rules, but I find them hard to follow.  The best and only solution is to change my thinking.  I realize that with the type of black and white thinking is hard it will be quite difficult.  For example, it is best to keep things simple.  What is a meal plan and how do I incorporate exercise into that plan?  Do I write down what I need then put something together?  I ask these questions all of the time.  The problem is that I don't keep it simple.  I am at a point where I have allowed myself to be overwhelmed.  So, where do I begin?
