A new diet and goal planning was in dire need because I was not meeting any of my goals for dieting and weight loss so it was very disappointing. My new plan will start right away and it will make my goals a little easier to obtain which will eventually get me to my long term goals.
My new way of dieting is very simple. Eat a high fiber breakfast bar, salad for lunch, and some type of meat for dinner with a green veggie and rice. I will treat myself to a little snack at night, Frosted Flakes. This is my motivation to get myself to eat healthy during the day. This is easier for me to do as opposed to writing down everything that I eat and counting my calories because I know that I won’t do that on a daily basis.
For my exercise I have come to the conclusion that I will not have the motivation to go to the gym every day. Just in case that at night I don’t feel like going to the gym, I will be doing 10 push-ups and 10 sit ups every morning as soon as I wake up. Everyday I will add one additional push up and sit-up.
This is not as intense and doesn’t take as much of an effort so I feel that I will do a lot better with it. My goal is to lose 3-5 pounds a week for the first 3 weeks just because there is so much excessive fat that it can be burned so quickly, then a steady 1-2 pounds a week thereafter until I lose 60 pounds. Little goals add up to big goals. Living with type 1 diabetes is just an excuse to not lose weight, it’s more of a must to do it. Especially since I want to go on the OmniPod.
