Yesterday went really well! I'm definately getting over my whole "10 days of overeating" thing. Which makes me happy, because for a day or so, I thought that I would NEVER get out of that funk.

Anyway, yesterday I described my eating plan for the foreseeable future, and today I want to talk about my exercise plan.

It will be changing at the end of the month because of school starting, but here is the basic plan for now.

5 days per week- 6 Week 6 Pack DVD (Jillian Michaels, 35 minutes of hard-core cardio plus abs) + 25 minutes of other cardio, such as running or biking

2 days per week- 1 hour of cardio with my boyfriend, either at the gym or the park

1 day of rest (DOR) per week or as needed, on any of the above days.

I'll talk about my back-to-school plan towards the end of the month. My eating and exercising habits do tend to change when I'm that busy (work full time plus school full time, it's INSANE).

I'm feeling pretty good about my plan to lose 9 pounds in 8 weeks (by my October 7th birthday).

All I have to do is stay focused, and follow a basic plan. I lost 7 pounds in July (before I went all crazy at the end of the month) by doing the following, which is a pretty easy to follow plan.

Here's basically what I eat M-F:

breakfast- oatmeal made with almond milk, topped with peanut butter and syrup 300-500 calories

morning snack- either A) bar (Luna or Lara) with a piece of fruit, or B) almonds with a piece of fruit 200-300 calories

lunch- whole grains (either brown rice, barley, or oats), beans, tomatoes, EVOO, steamed spinach, carrots (all mixed in bowl), sometimes skipping the whole grain if I forgot to cook it... 300-500 calories

afternoon snack- (sometimes not hungry for this) same as morning snack usually OR some Coconut yogurt 0-300 calories

dinner- brown rice, beans, lots of steamed veggies, EVOO 400-600 calories

evening snack- different every day. Usually something sweet under 200 calories

So you can see that through the work-week, I'm eating anywhere from 1300 calories to 2000+ calories, depending on my choices, and depending on how much I exercise. I try to always have a net calories (calories eaten - calories exercised) between 1300 and 1500.

My weekend plan looks like this:

Saturday- Practice Intuitive Eating for a day. Eat when hungry, don't track, and enjoy food and exercise however I wish, for one day a week.

Sunday- Back to tracking, but still no set plan. Don't worry too much about getting in certain amounts of veggies or vitamins, just focus on calories and enjoying food and exercise today.

Lots of good food, lots of great options, and plenty of flexibility to this plan. It's so loosey-goosey that it's almost not a plan at all. I've been back at this since last Thursday, and I'm already feeling amazing. The scale will be kind to me come Saturday, and I know that at least half of those 2.6 pounds will be gone! :-)

I'll talk about my exercise plans tomorrow.

Okay, I gained 2 pounds, which is about what I expected.

I've already moved on from my bad eating, so I know that within a couple of weeks, those pounds will be re-lost. :-)

Tomorrow will be my first weigh-in in two weeks. In those 14 days, about 10 of them were super-high-cal-bad-eating days. So... I'm positive that tomorrow's weigh-in will show a gain.

The good thing is that I can't remember the last time that I dreaded a weigh-in, so that must mean that this is the first time I've "messed up" in a while.

Of course, cliche as it is, I do see my weight loss journey as more of a lifestyle change than a diet, so it was unrealistic of me to think that I would never have a bad week. And that's all this was, a bad week. Life will have bad weeks here and there, and this was just one of them.

I've been back on track 100% since yesterday morning, and I'm already feeling better.

Tomorrow, there will be a gain. That much I am certain of... but how big will it be? That's the part that I am dreading to learn. I will be happy if it's 2 pounds or less.

Okay, I've cut my food down BIG TIME for today compared to how I've been overeating the last 10 or so days.

Today will probably feel like a diet, which I HATE, but my body has to get used to the smaller portions again. Once I get used to eating less than 1800 calories a day, it won't feel so diet-y.

And, here I go.
