Thanksgiving is Over

And so is all the eating, I ate too much and things I shouldn't have....which means I spent part of the holidays being sick.  But, I had a session with my trainer and she gave me some excellent points.  

I should be targeting 1400 calories a day.  I should be eating meals no bigger than a salad plate and no seconds.  I need to start incorporating splenda made sweets, and target a lower carb diet so I don't crave sweets.  She gave me a HUGE list of lower sugar/lower carb foods.  She says we should leave any meal and be able to exercise without getting sick from being too full, but have enough food/fuel to get us through that exercise no problem.  

She also gave me a GREAT circuit routine!  So, now that I am focused and have my questions answered about some stuff, I am on my way.  I usually stick to healthy eating and exercise pretty well, but sometimes, every couple of years, I stray.  Well, I have strayed, put on some pounds, so now it's time to focus!  Here are some New Year Resolutions, they are early, but I am making a list!

1.  Focus on counting calories and portion sizes so that I know by the first of the year what it is without counting, I want it to become a habit, something I just do.

2.  No more gall bladder attacks from bad eating!

3.  Lose some weight!

4.  Really get focused on hard and intense exercise!

5.  Join a book club so that I have something to do in the evenings to draw me away from eating.

6.  Post on here daily, even when I don't do what I should.
