This Week's Plan

Tomorrow starts my first full week back on my fitness plan.  I have a two-point plan of attack:
1. Fitness: Monday I am back with my trainer and workout buddy.  I have really missed the encouragement and accountability that I get from Melissa and Denise.  Since I don't meet with them until the evening I plan to hit the gym mid-day and at least get a mile in on the treadmill.  Tuesday and Thursday I am planning to attend Group Power at my gym.  It's a group weight lifting class.  I have never tried the class before, but I am kinda looking forward to it.  Wednesday and Friday I will be on the treadmill as I try to increase my time to at least an hour or 3 miles, whichever comes first.  If there is nice weather on Saturday I will try to get on the Swamp Rabbit trail for a nice long walk. Sunday is my day of rest. 

2. Diet: Remembering my motto, "Baby Steps", I am planning on a few changes to my diet this week without a radical change.  Number one is no sugar.  This will mostly be snacks and desserts.  I successfully cut those out last time and I'm sure I can do it again.  I am going to the grocery store in the morning to stock up on fresh fruit.  A pear or sweet apple usually helps me curb the craving I get for sugar.  The second change will be to add a serving of vegetables to each meal.  Third and last for this week is to eat a better breakfast each morning.  I need to switch back to 2% milk with my cereal and watch the sugar content of my cereal.

Well, that's my plan for now.  One week at a time, one day at a time, one step at a time.  Wish me luck!!
