Game Plan

Have you got yours figured out yet? Tomorrow is the beginning of the first full week of 2010! I hope you've written out your "mission statement" or "resolutions" or whatever you want to call it. Personally, I like the idea of a mission statement or just listing out some goals.
For this fitness/health aspect of my life, this will be my mission statement for 2010.

I will set a good example to my children and others of healthy eating. I will choose to be active and strong and encourage others to do so as well. I will find ways to make exercise fun for the whole family. I will actively work towards my goal weight of 120. Most importantly, I will keep this aspect of my life in perspective. I will not let the scale dictate my mood.

One of the most important keys to success in weightloss is PLANNING. Therefore, I have looked through my P90X and Insanity Nutrition Guides and have come up with a menu for the next 4 days, as well as a workout schedule. I know it's boring reading, but I have had several people ask to see what I'm eating/doing so I will post it here:

Monday-
Breakfast: Cheese scramble*, 1 turkey bacon, 8 oz. skim milk, 1/2 banana
Snack: Low-fat string cheese

So there you have it. My "game plan" for the next 4 days. This is my last week to teach at the gym on Mondays. I will keep my Thursday classes for a few more weeks (until they tell me I'm done). I plan to add in lots more P90X and Insanity workouts just as soon as my schedule permits.
