This last year I’ve picked up some really bad habits. Used food as an emotional crutch following my husbands 2 strokes and gave in to fatigue. I have to do more than I have ever before to gain back my health. Therefore, today begins my 1,200 calorie diet and exercise program that will take me a minimum of 5 months to lose the weight I’ve gained and the confidence I’ve lost in myself. I’m going to do whatever it takes to climb back to the person that finished a marathon three years ago.
So my diet will be a simple 1200 calorie 6 meal a day plan that is low fat, low sugar and low salt. The exercise starting out will be a brisk 2.5 mile walk 6 days a week coupled with a 30 minute kickboxing workout.
So here I go…
