Ok, so I’ve listened to Body for Life by Bill Phillips, at the request of Shannon, one of my co-workers. At first, I was skeptical about how much I’d agree with the program, but now that I’m done, I think I might try it out. Basically, it starts with reasons, decisions, goal planning, and positive thinking. I’ve recently formally set up my goal, (see today’s interlude) and I’ve done a lot of what he asks for in the first half. Then he goes into nutrition and exercise. Six meals a day with balanced portions of carbohydrates and protein, and veggies and fruit. And one day a week that I can eat whatever I want! Not a bad idea, I can get behind that. 30-40 minutes of exercise a day, with one day off. I’m already part way there! Just have to commit to it. He says I can get solid results in as little as 12 weeks, but I’m not looking for instant success. I’m still planning on keeping with the one year model. Ironically, I went to a book fair this evening with my mother and it was there! So I got a $27 book for $2! I love my mom! It’s worth a try, right? Any one out there use this program?
I was in Willimantic today, and the rain held off long enough for me to take a 15 minute walk around in the cemetery. I took a bunch of pictures of statues and headstones, but then the rain couldn’t hold back any more and I took refuge in Stop and Shop. Didn’t want to risk ruining my digital camera. Might as well get lunch while I’m hiding from the rain, right?
Breakfast, sadly, was only an instant breakfast. I wanted something more, but I didn’t have enough time to stop and grab anything. I need to prepare my meals at home from not on. I think I’ll finish off the stuff I’ve got and then not buy any more. I love the stuff, it’s better than having regular chocolate milk, but I can’t have it while doing the Body for Life thing. I had a third of a turkey grinder and an orange for Second Breakfast, and another third of my sandwich with an Apple for Elevenses, the last third for Luncheon, and a bowl of pasta with meatballs for Dinner. Now, what to eat for Supper. I skipped Afternoon Tea, though. Huh. That’s weird; I suddenly have the urge to throw a ring into a volcano...
No workout today, but I did walk for a little while. Tomorrow is my daughter’s birthday party, so likely cake will be present. That’ll be my free day. *sighs* I need a vacation. Mordor sounds nice this time of year...
