The New Plan

All my life I've been on some kind of diet. I remember being in the sixth grade and being on a diet. The word DIET...ugh its sickening. I've tried every single diet out there. My favorite up until a few years ago was the ZERO carbohydrate diet. Needless to say I just can't bring myself to do it anymore.
With my new journey I'm moving back to the basics of eating and exercising. You dont have to be a body builder or model to look good. With a little basic education anyone can be fit and healthy. Its my mission to live my life based on this motto.
So to begin with, my diet consists pretty much of TWO basic rules:
1. I eat everything whole grain and or whole wheat.
2. I eat everything according to SERVING SIZE.
My workout plan:

Ultimately my goal is to workout EVERY day but I can deal with myself if I at least workout every other day. The reason for this is I bought a book called The Women's Health Big Book of ExercisesThis book is absolutely my workout bible! It has all sorts of great info for people at all fitness levels. The best part of it is at the end where there are several workouts you can follow on your own at the gym. It was only fitting that I chose the "Get Your Body Back Workout." lol.

This workout consists of three phases in which you slowly build your body into shape. I love that it has every picture of every workout and that it started me off slowly. Currently, I'm in phase 2. As I have progressed into phase 2 I've found that the workouts are pretty intense. At the end of workouts sometimes I find myself feeling emotional. Not because I'm tired but because I can actually complete the workout fully. Tears of joy. Lol. Gaining weight has torn my self-esteem apart. At the end of each hard workout I am reminded that I AM WORTHY regardless of my size.
 The goal for now is to complete this phase of workout. I started it last Monday, November 24th. By December 22 I should have completed the full four weeks of phase 2 and be headed to the final phase. The great part of this blog is that if I can keep up with it daily I can keep up with my workouts and update the world...lol Well at least anyone who happens to come across my little blog...
