Hey Buddies!
This month I have taken my head outta the books & am back in testing mode!
My charts have been showing progress with each application of what I'm learning but now my testing will be putting the individual applications together & see what happens,I'm really excited about this! Some of YOU may be doing one or another or maybe all of what I will be doing for the next 3 months. If so,please feel free to make your voice heard.*I* want to know what the books may not have informed.
Here's my PLAN: 80/10/10
I have focused on exercise to lose weight & found it works!
I have focused on eating to lose weight & found it works!
I have combined the 2 to lose weight & found it works!
I have also found that one without the other doesn't work for long & that when *I* combine them *I* don't last for long! So, what's a girl to do???
Regardless of how active I am I will not *ever* have the body I yearn for IF I don't change forever the FOODS I eat. I *got* portion control. UNTIL I eat what I call toxic food:pizza,tacos,potatoes slathered in butter,warm buttery rolls,etc. YOU know what I mean. The only sane thing for me to do is to learn to eat the foods that the Good God,Jehovah created & intended for me to eat :D Its called: CLEAN EATING! And since it's the FOODS we eat that has the biggest impact on what our body looks like CLEAN EATING will be 80% of my plan.
Activity seems to pose a slight problem with losing weight because it creates an appetite. However,without it I will not be able to obtain the body I want because it is EXERCISE which molds our bodies into sculpted arms,chiseled abs, toned legs or a firm butt! But again, it falls to what kind of exercise am *I* doing? Cardio will burn off the stored fat(eating clean helps in this too)so my walking will continue. As CARDIO burns my fat it will transform me into a smaller version of what i look like now.THAT is NOT my goal-my goal is to be SMOKIN HOT-as well as healthy & fit! To become THAT person it will take STRENGTH TRAINING! The good news is: it's only 10% of the "smokin hot" equation!!!
The other 10% is sometimes the most difficult:NEVER GIVE UP!
Our attitudes. The things we whisper to ourselves when no one else is around. The things we choose to believe without testing its truthfulness. These are the things that can MAKE or BREAK us! "I *can* do this!".."This is NOT too hard!".. "That may LOOK good but THAT'S KILLING ME!".."I may THINK I want that,but *I* control my thoughts & *I* REALLY DON'T want it!"---rather than BREAK the body I have MAKE the body I want!
The combo of the 80/10/10 added to the "IF" program is my PLAN of ACTION for June,July & Aug!!!
Goals for this PLAN are listed in yesterdays Journal :D Let the DAYS begin!

I read Dr. Joel Fuhrman's "The End of Dieting". I learned so much from that book and it gave me a new insight on eating....I still have a way to go to get there but that has been my interest for me to be healthy and disease free...

Sweet,I agree! Altho' *I* wouldn't say *vanity* kept me on a crash & burning course. I strongly believe that what we tell ourselves & our view of things have a major impact on our actions. Vanity,according to the dictionary, is:1) something that is in vain,empty or useless. 2) the quality or fact of being useless or futile. 3)undue pride in oneself or ones appearance:conceit. *I* do not believe that my desire to have a smokin hot body is 1)empty or useless,because it fills a need. *I* do not believe that setting goals that have me strive to attain my "need" is 2) a quality or fact that is useless or futile,because I believe a person should do whatever they can, to ensure their needs *are* met. & *I* do not believe that 3) *I* have an *undue* pride in myself or my appearance. I believe that a person should take an *appropriate* amount of pride in themselves & their appearance (again another need,in my view). When I quit THINKING it was VANITY & REALIZED it was a NECESSITY *my* ACTIONS changed! No longer did I stay on the course of "crash & burn". My BELIEFS,make all the difference in what I DO. I believe that's true of everyone. :D That's why one of my ticker lines is: ACTION *follows* THOUGHT :D By the way, wouldn't you agree that a "smokin hot body" IS a "toned & healthy body"?! :D *I* don't see one without the other! :D
