If you are ready to jump on board the get-in-shape band wagon, it's easy to do once you commit yourself but only you can decide if you are ready. One area I always fail at is I want it gone yesterday so I always set up unrealistic goals but this time with the help of a calculator (see below), I will lose the weight sensibly to ensure added success. One thing I read from Jillian Michaels' today is it's a new year which means a new you. Don't bring the negativity and disappointment of your weight into this year as that's the old year. She, of course, is right. You have to remove the negative thoughts and self-images you have to be successful and I truly believe that when you picture yourself at the weight you want to be, it is a motivator. I've tried diet after diet and spent tons of money on each one with the same outcome of being overweight as I'm a stress eater. I'm learning to get that in order but it's not an overnight task to beat.
If you are ready, check out these great tools:
Free online journal and calorie counter: http://www.my-calorie-counter.com/calorie_counter.asp. This site has the following free (and paid if you want) tools:
- Food and Fitness Journal
- Weight Tracker Dashboard
- Food and Nutrition
- Exercise and Activity
- Forums
- Personal Coaching
- Food and Fitness Tips
- Meal Planner Setup Tool
This weight loss calculator from FitWatch provides you the number of calories you need a day to reach your goal by entering your current information and desired goal weight. It's a very realistic way to plan to lose the weight you want and stay in shape.
I'm also listening and reading a few books to better understand nutrition which I will review and provide any tips at a later date. Those books include:
- Prime Time Health by William Sears, M.D.
- Eat for Your Health by Joel Fuhrman, M.D.
- The Seven Pillars of Health by Don Colbort, M.D.
I'm also waiting on my EA Sports Active to arrive. Thanks to Mommy blogger Colleen and TwitterMoms, I was turned on to EA Sports Active as a great tool to also provide the activity I need to get in shape. More information will follow on that once I receive it but you can see my post that I previously wrote here.
