Ok...my contribution.
I dragged my butt out of bed this morning to walk. I only walked because of you guys....well ok and my dog sticking his cold wet nose under the warm covers. LOL.
Somebody mentioned interval training. So I did a greatly modified version so I won't hate it in a week. I walked, concentrating on a full step, and sucking my gut in, which improves my posture which improves my attitute...then every 1/4 mile or so, I did a good fast jog for 50 yards or so...I felt great and the dog even got some good exercise.
My biggest problem is portion control. If I can just remember all those little hints, I think I can change. Some of the stuff I am trying to remember.
1. PUT THE FORK DOWN between bites. Swallow everything before getting the next bite.
2. SMALL MEALS MORE OFTEN. I have to remember to have smaller meals instead of 3 large.
3. EAT BREAKFAST instead of waiting till I am hungry to eat in the morning.
4. BRUSH TEETH after every meal. With minty fresh breath, besides my co workers thanking me, I am less quick to grab a bite to nosh on.
5. DRINK WATER instead of grabbing for something to eat. If I am still hungry after a glass of water, then eat.
6. BE KIND TO MYSELF. I have to quit berating myself everytime I slip up. I don't talk to others that way, why should I talk to myself like that?
7. CREATIVE EXERCISE. By getting exercise at all possible opportunities, I can focus on having fun instead of "having to work out," which sounds more like a chore.
8. GET REST.
I am sure others can add to the list...and any help would be appreciated.
So
