On April 5, I wrote about a Diet Bet game that I am participating in. Next Sunday is that day. When you read my weight report, you’ll notice I have a gain this week. I need to lose 7# this week so I cannot only say that I win…. but I do not LOSE the $35 bet.
Just how do I hope to do this? I am going attack my weight loss from many sides. One, exercise: while today is a rest day, tomorrow I am giving 110% with every workout the remainder of the week. Two, sleep: I need to go to bed earlier and get at least 7 hours each night. Three, water: I need to make sure I drink 6-8 glasses each day. Four, food: this is the big one and goes beyond this week. No more cheat meals for a while. I will be having meatless breakfast and lunch and only a small portion of meat with dinner. Except for fruits and vegetables, I need to be careful be strict with portion sizes. With any grain, I will limit it to just breakfast but I will be abstaining from ALL this week. With any dairy, I will be limiting my portion sizes and once again completely abstaining from all this week. The only exceptions will be my protein shake that I will have for my lunch each day and eggs/egg whites. Five, food tracking: another key component. I will be embracing My Fitness Pal app from to track everything that goes in my body.
