"Getting a Plan"

Ok, first let me say that I am really trying to get typing my blog and reading my book caught up together!  So, I apologize for the erratic posting!  As soon as I get caught up (after this chapter) I will post a "scheduled" day of the week for me to update.  This way anyone who wants to check in will know when to check instead of it being so random! :)

Getting a plan.  I talked this one over with my husband.  As I mentioned before, I have tried South Beach and even counting calories.  Thinking back as to why nothing ever stuck with me, I realized that I never actually sat down and wrote out a plan.  How can I hold myself accountable if I don't have a set plan to follow?  So here it goes...

• I'm counting calories
• Only eating 1 to 2 "good carbs" a day
• I will stop eating after the girls.  That means no more "one for you, one for me" mentality when it comes to potty treats and snacks!
• I will exercise at least 3 days of the week.  There is no excuse for me. I belong to a gym and the outdoors never go away!
• I will incorporate more fruits and veggies in my diet ( I don't get enough)
• Lots of water!!
• My husband and I are in this together; therefore, we will help keep each other in line!
• Of course, starting this blog!

"I've come to look at this process as embracing healthy choices rather than denying myself" (pg 39).  What a wonderful attitude to adopt!
