The past few weeks have been spent in planning and
thinking. When should I start
dieting? What should I eat? How am I going to make sure I stick to
it? This has been interspersed with the
flu and food poisoning as well as some pretty serious sleep deprivation as my
toddler goes through a no sleeping phase.
So all in all, I’ve felt stalled and unmotivated.
I had been thinking about spending more time planning,
finding a strategy that will really work and feeling really, READY, before I
start dieting. However, the more I try
to do this, the less motivated I feel.
Maybe it’s because planning doesn’t give me any results. Planning doesn’t make me fitter, thinner or
feel healthier. Without these results,
it’s hard to stay focused and on task.
So I’ve decided to plunge in. I’m going to keep it simple, start with a few
changes and hopefully by not making drastic changes, have some time to do some
of the preparation that I wanted. For
now I will,
- Stop drinking soda
- Snack only on raw veggies at night
- Exercise 30 minutes a day
- Maintain a primarily whole foods, vegan diet.
I will try this for two weeks and see how it goes.
