Today is day one of my new diet. I have chosen Atkins disclaimer: I am by no means a doctor and any/all diets should be run by yours before you attempt them. I am also not getting any sort of payment from Atkins. This is just personal preference. for this diet attempt. I have tried a lot of other diets, like calorie counting, the soup diet, the Raw diet, and of course the Atkins before. I had some success at the age of 18 doing this one, and I lost about 30 pounds. That being said I put every single one of those back on.... and more!
So last night I made the following video, as sort of my confession before starting this lifestyle change. I want to look back on this video a year from now and see just how far I have managed to come!
I also took some before pictures, which I have not yet got the courage to Post, but maybe after I see some success I will put them up.
Now of course every good diet plan also needs a good exercise plan, because lets face it, they go hand in hand if you want to lose weight. I have a DVD. I have done this DVD before... and every time I do it Miss Jillian Michaels kicks my fat ass to the curb. I CANNOT at this point finish the work out. Not even close. That woman knows how to beat a person into shape.
So I plan on doing at least a little bit of her work out every night, added to the amount of walking I do as I have no car, longer and faster walks with the dog, and of course taking the stairs. All in all it should be enough of a low-impact start.
Clearly at my weight I am not going to start running track any time soon, but with enough low impact spaced through out my day the weight should come off a little bit. I will, with the DVD workout get my bit of cardio, which I will get into in another post!
