101 Health + Fitness Resolutions That Rock

101 Health + Fitness Resolutions That Rock

Taken from My Fitness Pal - they may help to focus!

Lifestyle change

I have been faffing and posting promises for ages now and what have done about it - zippo, nada...

Well a lifestyle change is required - one which will carry me on until the grave! What is needed?

A routine to stick to which involves:

• Healthy eating
• Exercise
• All over body care

This lifestyle change must also involve external things like:

• A tidy house (is a tidy mind) [uncluttered house = uncluttered mind]
• A routine of housework
• Dressing well
• Looking after everyone else
• Routine to do music practise and writing
• Spending less time on the computer

I really really really need to take this seriously and stop faffing around! 

Be happy folks :)

Here I am AGAIN!

Here I am again - I've lost no weight - I'm still 11 stone 13 (fluctuating between 11st 11 and 11st 13 - over 70Kg and over 160lb I think).

My boobs are huge and droopy - sorry TMI folks, but I am sick of them!  2 massive melons hanging from my chest!
I have acid reflux on occasion - although I have been trying to cut down on the biscuits etc. which helps!
My butt is huge
My waist is 38" THIRTY-EIGHT INCHES!!!!!! It has been 26"
My life is a mess where dieting is concerned! 

OK ACTION IS NEEDED NOW! But I can't be bothered? What can I do to chivvy myself along and be motivated?

I did think a weekly Vlog would get me going, but I've not done one day let alone one week

I thought this Blog would motivate me - but, nope!

I'm at my wits' end - what can I do! I wish I had a diet and exercise buddy where we could get together and exercise plus I HAVE to be better than anyone else so a good challenge gets me going! 

OK whoever reads this - if you do - leave a comment if you have any suggestions on getting my fat lardy butt into gear to lose weight! 

HUGS!!

Rosemary Conley Solo Slim

Here I am again after not keeping this up to date (if I'm not being good, I avoid posting like the plague). 

On Friday I received a Rosemary Conley Solo Slim 28 day food box full of yummy food! On Saturday I started the Fast Track 2 week 1,200 calories a day diet. Then after 2 weeks it will go up to 1,400 cals.

Before starting I typed out labels to stick on the corresponding meals so that I know which day I'm having what and which accompaniments to have with them! 

There are a range of options for the Solo Slim Foods!

HEIGHT: 5'2"

Waist measurement - 38" (that's thirty-eight inches!!!!!!!) I'm ashamed (it used to be 26") 

Oh well, no point moping - time to exercise! 

Bye for now

Here I am AGAIN!

Yesterday I did 30 minutes gentle (low impact aerobics) - I took it easy because I haven't exercised in a while so I didn't want to go berserk! 

Not doing well at all - not focussed, too busy with other things - like music! 

Onward and downward...

Spent too long a foodie

Lately all I've done is eat and laze around - same ole, same ole! Maybe I should pretend that someone has offered to give me the flute I want if I lose 4 stone (that's about 56 lbs) that would be a good incentive to lose it! Lost 21 lbs last year gained 23 lbs - now in the obese category - eek! Started on the solo slim meals again but had a couple of blips!
Onward...

YAWYE - Do they practice what they preach?

YAWYE - You Are What You Eat - a phrase that is banged on about by the medical professionals when they talk about obesity and the rise of it. BUT do Drs really believe that? I would say - No not really! 

"Hey Dieting Dizzy that's a bit harsh isn't it? I mean, they are trained health professionals afterall and who are you?"

My statement may seem harsh, but when I think of my own digestive problems, my own health problems in general, I am beginning to wonder if they all stem from my diet (as in what I generally eat, not the losing weight kind of diet). 

For years (since about the year 2000) I have suffered from acid reflux and as I get older it's getting worse! Now, when I have gone to see my GP about it - all I get told is - take Gaviscon - that will ease the symptoms! Yeah right - that's not addressing the root cause of the problem is it really?

I've been reading 3 books on making your body more alkaline and they all seem to make so much sense! I wonder if my GP would agree with the books...? I really have to get my body into a good working order and I think the way I can make me feel better in myself is to turn my body from an acid producing machine into an alkaline one (obviously we need a certain amount of acid in our bodies, but not as much as we have, in the West).

What if GPs actually agreed with the books I have been reading - well, for a start we would all stop drinking cow's milk because it is very acidic! Apparently a high acidic body makes a person more susceptible to cancers - why aren't we told that? Well places like McDonalds/Pizza Hut/Burger King etc would be empty, No one would buy milk/cheese etc anymore, beef, pork, bacon, sausage etc sales would plummet! Now that wouldn't make the businesses happy! 

Anyway that's my little rant over with :)

I'm still reading the book! Will have to take a giant leap in faith to implement the diet!

The Night Before D-Day

Twas the night before D-Day*
And all through the house
I was munching on food
Like a wee hungry mouse.
Packets of crisps
And biscuits galore,
Toast with much butter
I just wanted more.

I went to the cupboard
And ate all the sweets
My jaw getting exercise
But, not my feet.
I must get rid
Of this offending food.
For it to stay there
Would be highly rude.

What else can I eat
So my cupboards are bare?
For tomorrow I start
My diet with flare.
I shovel in the food
I empty the fridge
I eat oodles of crisps
Some smooth and some ridged

But it must get done.
D-Day starts soon,
Weigh, in the morning
Not afternoon.
I flumped into bed
Did I hear it creak?
I hope my resolve
Doesn't go weak.

D-Day has arrived
On the scales I stand
Oh dear this weight
Wasn't so planned.
I gained half a stone
From my binge yesterday
It was my own fault
What can I say?

*D-Day = Diet Day

43

I'm 43 this year and have thought how good it would be to lose 43lbs...

Can it be achieved? Only with focus and discipline - 2 things I seem to be lacking...

Well here goes...

My dieting diary

I have set up a blog to use as a diary - I'm not the most self disciplined of people, but I'm hoping to post on the blog as if it is a diary - daily would be good so let's see what happens! Oh yes fellow dieters 

HAPPY NEW YEAR
