New Year’s Resolution – Loose Weight!

January 3, 2011 babi calories counter diet plan resolution

I guess this is the time of the year that we promise to do a lot and accomplish maximum we can.
So I got up at 7am and promised myself to start a real diet, one that really works and keeps my extra pounds away and regular exercise.
I know I don’t have a lot to loose (around 15 pounds), but they are getting on my nerves.
I’ve been reading about hormones and the way some of them are fat packers, foods to avoid and etc.

I designed a plan that I hope will work for me, based on the following parameters:

– Eating healthy (I already do all the organic and wholesome foods) – I guess this step I nailed.
– start periodic fasting – a few benefits of fasting are: purification, rejuvenation, more energy, greater abdominal peace, anti-aging effects, weight loss, more relaxation, etc.
– Back to the gym – for at least 3 times a week, I want to do my cardio and weight exercises.
– Keep track of what I eat – this, I think, will be the key of my successful diet plan. I realized that when I diet with friends, the control of what I eat comes from them and also the incentive. It is very hard to match your resolutions and your friend’s will on the same time, so I decided to use a calorie diary to keep me alert.
I also got a calorie counter button, which will be permanently on bottom of the blog main page, that I am sharing with you, just in case if you also decided to loose a few extra pounds.
– I am trying to design my nutrition plan based on my ovulation, I usually crave a lot starchy foods close to my period and water retention is also an issue.

So, that’s it! Make your diary and start tracking what you eat.
After a week, go back and check the diet sheets. It will give you some clues on what you are doing wrong.

I am also adding to it the exercise data on that day, so I can analyze its interference on my appetite.

Do you want to be thin with me?!

Next, I will bring you a few of the herbs and supplements, I will be using the help me on my journey, and, of course, a lot of craft has to be done to keep me away from the fridge! Can’t wait to show you what I have been up to!
