Here is the diet breakdown:

Daily Caloric Intake: 1500 Calories
Days Followed: 7 Days a Week
Roughly 400 calories per meal, three meals a day, and roughly 100 calories per snack, three snacks a day. Considering life does not always allow you to follow things perfectly, the snack calories could be sacrificed. Especially the evening snack.

Daily Exercise Time: One Hour (Roughly)
Days Followed: 6 Days a Week (Normally Excludes Sunday)
Exercise will alternate between running routines and other exercise regimens.
Three days a week, I will participate in the Couch-to-5k Running Plan. The plan is designed to span over 9 weeks, with three workouts a week, to help you go from no running at all to having the ability to finish a 5k. I may repeat weeks that I find difficult early on, for while progress is important, there is no reason to push myself to the point of failure. Most of the workouts span from 20 to 30 minutes, and while you could measure either by distance or time, what's important to me is that I do roughly an hour of work.
The other three days of the week, I will be doing some sort of other routine, including things like squats, sit-ups, crunches, leg raises, planks, jumping jacks, butt kicks, tricep dips, burpees, etc. With roughly an hour of workout time, I have plenty of room to do all of these things and more. Being up and moving, at my size, for that much time, will help me see the progress I need to see.

I am a senior in high school, and I do have four AP (college-level) classes this semester. I was very concerned about participating in this and also having time to do homework. This is how I decided to break down my weekdays:

Monday-Friday:
6AM: Wake, eat breakfast, get dressed for school
7AM-4PM: School (includes lunch)
4PM-5PM: Free time (or extra homework period)
5PM-6PM: Workout
6:15PM: Shower
7PM: Dinner
7:30PM-9:30PM*: Homework (avg. 30 mins each subject)
9:30PM: Prepare for bed (brush teeth, comb hair, etc.)
10PM: Bedtime
* Any time not used for homework during the 2 hour homework slot can instead be used as free time.

The way I broke up my weekends was much more lenient (remember, I am giving myself a rest day every Sunday):

Saturday:
6AM: Wake, eat breakfast
--Spend majority of day doing whatever plans made/free time.
--Work out for at least 1 hour, as usual, and shower after.
--Have a balanced lunch and dinner, as usual.
--Be sure to clean and work on homework as needed; there is no time Monday-Friday.
10PM: Bedtime

Sunday:
6AM: Wake, eat breakfast
--Spend majority of day doing whatever plans made/free time.
--NO WORK OUT TODAY. Sunday is the day of rest.
--Have a balanced lunch and dinner, as usual.
--Do any last-minute cleaning, and allow enough homework time!
10PM: Bedtime

I know that the schedule will not be able to be followed perfectly because things happen in life that prevent it from being so. I have a rest day; if anything happens to one day during the week, for instance, if I simply cannot make the time to workout on Wednesday, then I can just pick up the slack the following Sunday as replacement.

My schedule, and routines, are likely to change to some degree whenever I reach college in August. I plan to pick up yoga and zumba classes, and I will have equipment to use. When that time comes, I very well may scrap this diet/exercise regimen and pick up a new one.

12 December 2013

After many failed attempts, I am extraordinarily hopeful about my new plans for health and success. My life has been a tumbling surplus of downward falls this year, and I really want to right that wrong. I am trying to be a better person all around, not just in the case of my health. Actually, I am working hard to shape myself into the person I want to be, and my fitness and well-being play a huge part in that, but this also includes my feelings about my academics, my social life, and how I choose to spend my free time. With my senior prom less than five months away now, my graduation less than six, and college nearing nine months away, I want to take the big step to change.

I have many plans for this process. All of these things are going to be apart what I will call my "Salubrious Aspiration," which is actually just a fancy way of saying "Healthy (New Year's) Resolution." I am holding off starting until after the New Year, but I am not doing this to procrastinate. I am actually already heavily involving myself in this aspect, and letting that be the starting point actually gives me much, much time to plan.

I have a growing collection consisting of recipes/snack guides, workout routines, and many inspiring things to throw on what will hopefully be my makeshift "Inspiration Board." I plan to start my new routine of eating right/calorie counting/working out whenever my new semester starts (which is around roughly January 20th); this way, as I turn over a new leaf into new classes, it will feel as though my entire routine has been reset entirely, and I won't be as inclined to revert back to my old ways.

My workout routine previously was an anticlimactic and repetitive process; I would simply do one of Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred videos for 20 minutes a day every day. Not that this was not a worthy process--I definitely ~felt the burn~ and it was effective upon my body (I noticed subtle changes)--however, the routine quickly became boring and something I dreaded entirely. This time, although I would still be willing to include Jillian in my routines, I want to go about doing varieties of routines. Again, I am using my time to stockpile different routine sets that I am hopeful will be hopeful/beneficial to me. Also, I plan to incorporate far more running/jogging/walking into my days.

I am unsure exactly what entails for my diet. I previously simply counted calories and attempted to let that be my indicator. "Sure, self, go ahead and have that 1500 calorie burger for lunch, but after your 400 calorie breakfast, this will probably be the last thing you are allowed to eat all day!" Naturally, this lead to bouts of hunger and, unavoidably, failure. This time, I plan to pick lower-calorie choices that are also all around healthier for me--lower sodium, less sugar, less fats--and am thinking about incorporating certain methods, such as always having smoothies for breakfast, etc.

I will continue to plan, stockpile workout routines, save recipes, create my inspiration board, and cross my fingers that I have the guts to really REALLY stick it out this time. If you have any tips/suggestions, feel free to leave them in a comment. Links to inspirational pinterest boards are also very much appreciated!
