The Plan

- Shakeology every day – it has to replace breakfast.  As much as that breaks my heart and as much as I will miss bacon egg and cheese sandwiches,   I know from previous experience that I will not replace any other meal with a shake. I just won’t. More on shakeology later – it’s good stuff.

- Limiting my calories.  I was thinking 1500 but that may be adjusted.  I don’t want to count points – been there and done that.  Rather, I’ll use my awesome myfitnesspal app (a great website and and even better mobile app) to journal my food and keep track of my weight and inches. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/
- Work out every day. More specifically I’ll be doing beachbody workouts.  Not just one,  but a few mixed together because I get serious workout ADD.  My primary will be Brazil Butt Lift (my fav).  I also have a Pilates DVD that has 10 minute workouts.  I plan on doing one of those every day when I wake up. It’s only 10 minutes after all. I was going to do 6 days a week, but some of the videos are only 20-30 minutes, so I figure I can do a little something every day. If I end up only getting in 6,  I still win.

- Cheat day.  This is essential to me.  The only diet in the past I every stuck to for an extended period of time allowed for one cheat day.  I don’t have to work out if I don’t want,  I can drink and I can eat whatever. This is super important for this to work – I’m sure of it.
-weigh ins.  Every week, but who am I kidding.  I weigh myself every single morning.  I know people say not to do that,  but it’s kind of a compulsive thing now.  I’ll only update here once a week,  but my fitness app gets the daily weigh in.
I’m open for any suggestions after the first 30 days.  I already have my schedule set up so I’m sticking with that for now.
