Beck Diet Solution - Day 9
Choose an exercise plan
Exercise is a very important factor in losing weight for me. It helps me manage and reduce my stress, makes me feel better, reaffirms my commitment to living a healthy lifestyle, and in general, I struggle far, far less on days that I exercise than I do on days that I don’t. I’ve developed an exercise plan over the past year that I like and will stick to.
The plan is:
Mondays: 60 minutes of cardio (elliptical), lift weights for 30 minutes
Tuesdays: 60 minutes of cardio (elliptical), yoga for 30 minutes
Wednesdays: 60 minutes of cardio (elliptical), lift weights for 30 minutes
Thursdays: 60 minutes of cardio (elliptical), yoga for 30 minutes
Fridays: 60 minutes of cardio (elliptical), lift weights for 30 minutes
Saturdays: 60 minutes of cardio (elliptical)
Sundays: yoga for 60 minutes
Yoga on Tues & Thurs is from the Biggest Loser Weight Loss Yoga DVD, which focuses on core strength and gives your legs a really good workout-I generally get a pretty sweat going. Sunday yoga is using a Rodey Yee DVD and is much less physically intense-lots of stretching, not much in the way of sweat. Instead of having a day of complete rest, I thought it might be good to just get my body moving and work on flexibility, which doesn’t stress my body much.
I’m also planning on increasing my spontaneous exercise by playing soccer with my daughter and spending more time outside playing with her-riding bikes, etc. In addition, since spring is just around the corner, I’ll be spending quite a bit of time out in the yard doing yard work.
I’ve read my response card once so far today.
I sat down to eat every time, and did eat slowly and mindfully last night at dinner and this morning at breakfast
I gave myself credit for healthy behaviors, specifically for not eating pizza last night at the in-laws when I really, really wanted to.
I’m working to continue making time and energy to exercise and meal plan.
I planned my exercise program, scheduled time for it, but did not exercise this morning due to recovering from a cold, but will pick up the full plan starting tomorrow.
