It is no use waiting for new year's resolutions. I have LET MYSELF GO. And I'm starting again. Right now. This morning's numbers were horrifying and eye opening. I'm at a crossroads on the the cusp of fat. My complacency has been my undoing. Who was I to think I could get away with not counting? Not exercising? I need strictness and exactness, measuring scales and nutritional labels. Be cruel to me, badger me, hold me accountable. I don't want to be fat. I'm not ready to give up. I need this. Here we go!
57 kg, 125.4 lbs, BMI: 20.4
Goal Weight
48 kg, 105.6 lbs, BMI: 17.2
GW 1 - 55.0 kg, 121.0 lbs
GW 2 - 53.0 kg, 116.6 lbs
GW 3 - 51.5 kg, 113.3 lbs
GW 4 - 50.0 kg, 110.0 lbs
FINAL GOAL - 48!
Now I cannot get there without rules. Hard and fast, no room for diversion, absolute-all-or-nothing rules. And I think the rules need to start with some structure- a tried and tested diet plan. I had great success with the ABC in the past. I only made it through about 10 days but I did beautifully well over that time and lost a lot of weight. It's a good place to start.
So here are the bare bones of it:
| 1: 500 2: 500 3: 300 4: 400 5: 100 6: 500 7: 300 8: 400 9: 200 10: fast | 11: 150 12: 200 13: 400 14: 350 15: 250 16: 200 17: fast 18: 200 19: 100 20: fast | 21: 300 22: 250 23: 200 24: 150 25: 100 26: 50 27: 100 28: 200 29: 200 30: 300 | 31: 800 32: fast 33: 250 34: 350 35: 450 36: fast 37: 500 38: 450 39: 400 40: 350 | 41: 300 42: 250 43: 200 44: 200 45: 250 46: 200 47: 300 48: 200 49: 150 50: fast |
And here are my personal amendments and details:
♦I will deduct all exercise calories from my daily totals. I need to start exercising, and this is my incentive. The more I burn, the more I can eat
♦As always, I will not count calories in plain raw vegetables
♦Now this is a new one for me! I will not count calories in alcohol, but ONLY for spirits straight up, or with zero-calorie mixers. This being the last summer holidays of my life, I think I ought to allow for a little merriment!
♦I will be granted ONE free day for Christmas (I mean who am I kidding, I love Christmas!). So this means Christmas eve will be day 5 and boxing day will be day 6.
♦I will take care of my whole body, meaning supplements ahoy! Fish oil, fibre, calcium, multivitamins. None of these will count for any calories.
♦Finally...
I hope to reach my first goal by Christmas morning. 2kg in 5 days sounds like a stretch, but I put in on very quickly and with any luck it will drop straight off. Then onwards and upwards into the new year and beyond. I will emerge victorious!

go you! uhmayzing plan. I know how you feel, I hate this last stretch of year when mind and body crumble into cookie crumbs which I then pick up and eat. you can do this, you are fantastic, intelligent and you can get through. And if until new year doesnt go totally to plan think of it as training.

GO GO GO GO GO
I am thinking of you!!! x
Does this sort of thing work at Christmas?
ReplyDeleteThough, to be fair, my only experience of Aussie Christmas comes from watching the exploits of the citizens of Ramsay Street.
Have a good one, lurve.

This is a very thoughtful plan, I love it. As you might know, I am counting differently to you, but it makes a lot of sense not to count alcohol if you want to have some fun in your life!
ReplyDeleteYou should really enjoy your last holiday, I guess you will have to get a job soon, and I absolutely know how this will affect your life! By the way: At the beginning of a medical career, there will be no time to eat, you will lose anyway!
Stay strong, and try not to stress yourself too much, you are doing great!
I love it! brilliant exceptions. Are you starting today?
ReplyDeleteI am doing a very similar thing as of tomorrow!
ReplyDeletewe can do this. x
Love love LOVE the plan. And think about this-you survive the holidays, you know you can survive ANYTHING. Seriously. And you know come january there'll be so many fucking diet plans and detoxes going around no one will even NOTICE disorder. January is so my favourite month: cold (here at least), crisp, a new start. And even better to not start it a bloated huge mess. SO good luck Pasco xxxxxx
