What to do, what to do?
For me, the hardest part of weight loss is the same as the hardest part
of virtually anything…taking the first step.
The next hardest thing is sticking with it. But, let’s just focus on step one for now.
And, weight loss is even trickier. There around hundreds (if not thousands) of
plans and products out there which promise that they are “easy to follow,” will
show “quick results”…blah, blah, blah.
I have tried most of them…Weight Watchers (been there,
didn’t stick with it), Adkins (oh, how I love carbs), Nutisystem (got sick of
that food quick)…the list goes on and on.
But, the basis of all these plans is pretty simple…eat less
calories than you burn and you will lose weight…in theory.
So, in choosing a plan to follow, I have to consider the
following things:
1.
I am a planner (some might say a control freak)
by nature. I like having clear
instructions, lists to check off, and a spreadsheet to track my progress.
2.
Lately I have been doing a lot of thinking about
what exactly is in my food. Sure candy
and chips and fast food taste great, but when you start reading labels things
get a little scary. Should I really be
putting things in my body if I can’t pronounce them? (Ok…I can’t really pronounce quinoa
either.) Even worse if the substance
doesn’t naturally occur on this planet.
3.
In has to be cheap…I’m pretty sick of paying for
weight loss products.
So, my first goal is to finish Jamie Eason’s LiveFit 12-Week
Trainer program.

The plan looks a little intimidating…lots of weight-training
exercises I have never done before and a very limited list of foods (compared
to my current refined sugar and chemical laced diet), but here goes nothing.
