Day 4- My Boundaries

Today, it is all about boundaries, not diets. 
I imagine my diet as a road and I have to stay between the lines. If I go outside the road I will be up on the embankment or in the weeds. When I stay on course I reach my goals and life is good. This will give me flexibility so that I can succeed. I can do anything for 2 weeks, but the stay consistent on this healthy lifestyle plan is going to be a challenge because I give up when the going gets tough instead of accepting the bad time and telling myself that I will do better next time.

Here are the two roads that I will travel-

On My Straight & Narrow Road-                      the yellow brick road to the Emerald City

The Wide Road w/ Safe Shoulders to Drive-    no more car wrecks

My Exercise Plan-  Minimum 30 minutes of walking 6 days of   the week. I get one day of rest. Here is the ideal plan for exercise- Monday- Bootcamp 60 minutes Tuesday- walk 30 minutes in the neighborhood Wednesday- Bootcamp 60 minutes Thursday- walk 30 minutes in the neighborhood Friday- Bootcamp 60 minutes Saturday-rest Sunday- Pilates 60 minutes My Diet Plan- ·       6 days a week and take Sundays off. ·       To sign up and do Weight Watchers for my birthday ·       Weigh-in on Sundays at home ·       To portion out my food by weighing the proper amount at every meal-  ~3-4 oz of protein- lean meats and alternatives ~1/2 c. whole grains unlimited fresh vegetables and fruits 8oz of milk or dairy 64 oz of water daily Daily Multivitamin

When I am tired I will at least put   on my pedometer and increase the number of steps that I take in a day to   5,000 steps which is about 2.5 miles. When I am really busy I will be kind   to myself and tell myself that it is just temporary this does not mean   that I won't go back to it. When I step go out of the boundaries   of my diet or exercise I will not beat myself up. I will tell myself   that I will do better at the next meal or exercise session. Allow for alcoholic drinks on special   occasions like when Mo comes into town, birthday cakes and the   occasional square of dark chocolate.
