I have talked a bit over the last few weeks about my
weight upsetting me, how I want to workout etc. I thought
I would go more in depth and maybe I can motivate someone.
Firstly I am totally changing my diet around again, since
Covid I have been on a roller coaster ride, eating good,
not eating good, working out, not working out. I mentioned the
total amount of weight I have gained in 3 years and I am
totally disgusted with myself.
I am doing away with carbs BUT not good carbs, your
body needs carbs to help fuel it. So what are some
good carbs you may ask?
Veggies; all of them, eat a variety every day.
Whole fruits; apples, bananas, strawberries etc.
Legumes (which I don't like myself); lentils, kidney beans, peas etc.
Nuts; almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, peanuts etc.
Seeds; chia seeds, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds.
Whole grains; you want truly whole as in pure oats,
quinoa and brown rice.
Lastly; sweet potatoes
Now I am moving onto the meditranian diet;
The mediterranean diet consists of healthy carbs, evoo
as your primary fat source, dairy products, eggs, fish and poultry.
I will still have red meat but on occasion not as often as I do now.
Intermediate Fasting; I was doing a 16:8 but I don’t think
that is long enough for my body as I kinda already do
that but it would be dirty fast. So I am going to amp
up my time to a 19-20 hour fast which means I will
have a 4-5 hour eating window. My first meal will always
be a protein shake, I need the protein A. since I had
the weight loss surgery and B. since I am going to be
exercising more than I have been used to.
How am I going to workout? That is a good one, my goal
is to do a 30 minute video workout every morning, whether
it be cardio, barre, yoga etc. When CJ is done with school work
we will head to the gym, I belong to Planet Fitness, I will hit
the 30 minute workout area, I will then do my cardio,
I am not sure how long I will last on the arc trainers
as I have not done it in months, my goal is to get to
45 minutes. I will do core workouts after cardio, everyday!
At night weather permitting I am going to do at least a mile walk.
What to do for your last meal when you are doing IF?
You of course get hungry at night, I don’t want anything
heavy weighing on my stomach before bed and I want
something healthy so I have already chosen a tomato
sliced up with a bit of pepper and basil and 1 cheese stick.
There are days my plans may not workout accordingly
and I will have to get over that, my main goal is the gym
3-5 times a week. Once I lose my weight I will work on
maintaining a healthy weight and lifestyle.
If you happen to have any questions in regard to my
plans or goals or want help getting started with
your own please ask!
