So
it is 2017!! Hurray!! Now to start working on goals for this year. First on the
list is to loose all the unwanted weight. I mean I love my body, love who I am
there is nothing wrong with being a plus sized/thick woman; but I have to consider
the health consequences. I have a very high sense self-love especially when I
dress formal, there is something about a pair of heels; elevating my hips,
giving me that special walk and pose, behold there is something running that
perfect image, MY BIG BELLY.
That’s
right, I have tried so many diet plans, drinks, pills, diet routine, you name
it, just to get rid of it. Alas, it is still bloody there, mocking me with that
awful grin; and I thought to myself, instead of being depressed about it, I
will actually work towards getting rid of the bloody thing!
Right, so here
is how I plan to go on this journey:
1.
Dedication: we all have different ways of thinking
and getting things done, I like to remind myself that I am doing this for
myself and when I get what I want no one can bring me down. Whatever your way
is, make sure you keep driving yourself to do it the right way and do it well.
Ignore negative comments and push out thoughts that will hold you back, and
keep MOVING FORWARD.
2.
Schedule: after prepping myself up, then I draw
up a plan on what I want to do and how I want to do it. So, I have change of
diet and routine exercises; my exercises aren’t always so rigorous, 2hours of
jumping jacks, Russian twists, sit-ups, planks, jumping ropes(skipping ropes),
and leg warmers are okay for me.
3.
Diet Plan: okay this would be the hardest,
remember point 1. up there? Yea, this is where it comes into play. First of all
I eliminate what bloats me up and I either remove it from my diet completely or
reduce intake drastically. Going forward
in 2017, I plan to eat more fruits (non-sugar), stay hydrated, and make sure I
do not eat past 7:00pm. I am also going to:
a. Eat a high-protein breakfast
b. Avoid sugary drinks and fruit juice
c. Drink water a half hour before meals
d. Increase intake of soluble fiber
e. Eat mostly whole, unprocessed foods
f.
Use
smaller plates; to control my food portions
4.
Sleep: that’s right sleep, research has shown that lack of good
sleep is also a result of weight gain in most people. In order for this to
work, this means, no more late night caffeine, TV shows or office work.
PS: everyone has different body types and metabolism
rates; so it’s best to find out what works for your body before committing to a
routine that could harm you or make you gain more weight. Nothing beats a good
work routine.
