Our simple mantra, Eat. Sleep. Exercise. will require some planning for success. (you know the old saying, if you fail to plan you plan to fail...it's damn true) We began our journey yesterday with your reality-based metrics, our starting point. Now, to move forward!
There are things you can do, right now, today, that will provide immediate impact for a fast start to becoming the Biggest Loser.
1. Begin your journal with specific, measurable goals ("I want to look good/feel better/etc." is NOT measurable). Refer to those goals every day.
2. Clean your fridge and pantry of all temptation (yes, and your desk drawers).
3. Stock up on portable, healthy foods (for when you're all of a sudden starving and scrounging for something, anything to eat). Come see me for ideas!
4. Commit to the 30-day No Soda rule. No cheats.
5. Commit to the 30-day Limited Sugars (less than 50g a day -- read all labels!) rule. Do not use any sweeteners -- no stevia, splenda, honey, brown sugar, agave, sweet n low, etc. NONE. Break the crave.
Five simple steps to kick start your journey. Go Team!
I challenged myself to not only give up soda (for the entire 12 weeks), but also french fries and BEER!!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent option! Perhaps others will follow your lead!
ReplyDeleteYea, good for you Scott!
ReplyDeleteI am feeling that not so great detox feeling about now. Irritable, headache and hit the wall with tiredness. Anyone else feeling it?
Tammy, try eating some protein with healthy fats. Turkey or chicken rolled with guacamole. This really is a pick me up!
ReplyDeleteWell Tammy, I did not give up my coffee (yes black, no cream or sugar) so I haven't felt tired yet. I have been drinking lots of water and getting my sleep like the Doctor (Maddy) ordered.
