My progress report for last week wasn't the kind you'd want to hang on the refrigerator. I skipped workouts and ate a ton of sugar!
This week I'm armed with a plan, and I'm sticking to it! Here it is:
Get back to exercising early in the morning!
- Mon, Tues, Thurs, and Fri (Wed morning off since I'll be up late the night before at church singing practice.)
- Be in bed no later than 10pm
- Get up at 4:35am (Yikes!)
- Workout for at least 30 minutes
Continue eating breakfast with protein and a complex carbohydrate
- I've got eggs, low-fat cheese, and protein powder ready to go.
- I'm making whole wheat bread in the bread machine as I write this.
Start a food journal - more to come on this in my next post!
Have a planned sugary snack
- My body isn't ready to go off sugar at this time, so instead of avoid sweets and going out of my mind, I'd rather avoid potential binges and give my body it's sugar fix and remain sorta steady.
- Planning a sweet snack avoids the hunt for sugar, especially in the afternoon, and thus eating more than is necessary.
- The psychological affect of knowing I've got a sweet snack waiting for me lets me relax; I don't have to worry about where I'm going to find my sugar later in the day.
This plan is definitely do-able for me. What is comes down to is me putting it into action. I'm ready!

Hmmm. Maybe I’ll borrow your plan. Though I certainly didn’t get up at 4:35 this morning.
Feel free to ‘borrow’, Lynnae (except for the early wake up call)!
I have to be mentally prepared for that one!
I did accomplish that part of my plan for today. And I ate a healthy breakfast, so I’m off to a good start this week! Feels good.
