My Exercise/Eating Journey Ep. 1: The Beginning

Hey guys,

I know, I know! Long overdue but like I said in the last food posting, I have to do it in my own time. Well, IT'S MY TIME! I got on the scale and almost keeled over at the numbers! Needless to say, my diet and exercise plan began that very next day!

So, to keep myself accountable and to go along with my prior posting "Focusing on Plan A" here is my first installment of my weekly exercise and eating post. No lying! No deleting! No sugar coating! This is what I did or didn't do and what I ate or shouldn't have eaten.

Now, I started on Wednesday Sept. 21st therefore it is more like a semi-weekly but look forward to a full week from here on out!
As far as diet is concerned, I am sticking primarily to the Atkins way of no more than 20g of carbs daily while also incorporating some fruit in as well. Now, I know that fruits are not allowed on the Atkins Diet but on 'My Diet", they are. Also, I will exercise Monday thru Friday, with my rest days being Saturday and Sunday. I also reserve the rights to work out on those days in the event I miss a workout during the week.

So now that explained that, lets get this show on the road! Ha!

Okay, so right off the bat I can tell why writing out your food can be helpful. I can tell just by seeing this that:

1. I do not eat enough.

2. I need to stop skipping breakfast.

3. I usually eat my first meal way into the afternoon.

So, while I am very proud of my eating habits because there is soo much junk food in the house that I DIDN'T eat and could have, I still need to taper off the cereal at night. I also am working on willpower cause when I tell y'all that between the hours of 12a and 4a the food calls me. By Name! This is usually when I do my most damage eating wise so just pray for me. I mean, really PRAY!

This week I am gonna strive to eat something every 3 hrs and also to eat breakfast! I sleep late anyway and on top of that I usually get up, hit the showers and leave but I will make it my business to eat before I leave, even if it is just a yogurt.

Okay, so I have officially begun outing myself. Feel free to leave me any and all tips you have for eating and exercising. Anything and everything will be helpful! I def need your prayers and encouragement cause hunny, it is not easy! I HAVE to do it though so I figured I would share my journey :)

So, until next week guys :)

Love,

Jahlicia <3
