Day 1: The Introduction
Today is Day 1 out of 14 in which I will fulfill the promise I made to myself last month. The promise goes like this: "I will eat healthy and workout for at least an hour a day for 14 continuous days". I have added to it with the following guidelines:
- No pop, coffee, ice cream, chips, candy, or fat-filled hostess-style snacks.
- No fast food (oh man, you mean no Chipotle? That's right, no Chipotle)
- Portion control (Eat slowly, realize that I don't need to eat my own weight in food every day)
- Conscious effort to eat GOOD things. (Salads, veggies, lean meats, protein heavy foods, etc.)
- Breakfast every day
- Attempt to eat 5+ smaller meals instead of 3 meals every day
- Work out EVERY DAY. That means no breaks on the weekends or on a long work day.
- I don't have to lift weights every day, but I *DO* have to do something for cardio every day. If I ever *DO* lift, I must also do cardio on that same work out day.
- Lastly, 60 minutes is the shortest amount of time I can spend working out in one of the next 14 days. Minutes DO NOT carry over.
I loaded up on ice cream, coffee, and pop over the weekend, wish me luck as I go cold turkey for two solid weeks.
