Day 3 The “How” of it all

Day 3 The “How” of it all

One thing that stands out for me is that everything is as hard or easy as we make it to be. I don’t know about you but for me making things hard on myself is getting a little old. One of the things I’ve learned over the past eighteen years is that many people (including myself) fail their diets due to overload. We start off great. Dive in head first counting calories, measuring portions, and eliminating so many of the things we love. From there with big smiles on our faces we plunge ourselves into a work out regime that doesn’t squeeze easily into our life. This works for many people. However it doesn’t work for everyone and it certainly wasn’t a great fit for me.

I think that one of my best qualities is the way I view challenges. I may not get there by following in your footsteps but I’ll meet you there and with a smile on my face. I firmly believe that there is always another way to do something, more than one answer.

Yesterday I reviewed my long list of “Diet” plans and although I at first thought I would be combining aspects from 2 of the plans, I have since change my mind and decided to add an aspect from a third plan.

The three plans I’m working with are;

1. Small Steps; This is a program that I have been trying to develop based on my experiences and a method known as the “Kaizen Method” which was a method originally developed to improve productivity. Adapting this method allowed me to keep of the last 12lbs that I lost without “Diet Overload”. With all the other goals I have and my everyday responsibilities this method was the easiest to adopt…and it worked, now it’s my turn to work it.






2. The Belly Fat Cure; The easiest plan by far (for me) for dealing with what to eat and how much. A simple formula that I can incorporate easily with the above method and my life.






3. I Can Make You Thin; There are several things I liked about this one and all you need to do is follow 4 simple rules: Eat when you feel hungry!, Eat whatever you want!, Eat consciously!, Rule 4. Once you feel full stop eating! Sounds crazy I know, but when you follow these rules you will be amazed at how much less you eat.

I also like the guided meditation CD that came along with this plan and plan to use that as well.
So that’s the plan, over the next few day I will be pulling these three diets together to create one that will work well with me and my life. The exercise part is where I feel truly challenged…lucky for me the way I view a challenge is one of my best qualities.

Have a great night and weekend, see you on Monday morning.
