Help!

It was a little fire--doused by 3 days with family and a pain in the neck (not Jake). I need to get that fire going again. Anybody got a match?

The extreme weight loss TV program last night showed a guy that lost almost half of his 651 pounds in a year. He was motivated and determined and I thought, "I need that." But, 10 hours later, here I sit. :(

Scripture says that without a plan, the people perish. I need a plan! A plan and a match--that's what I need. I think I'll start formulating a plan and maybe it will generate the spark to get the fire going again.

Today's eating plan:

fruit smoothie

pasta primavera (spaghetti with steamed veggies)

chicken sandwich

Now to plan a week's worth of exercise...

I'll let you know how it works out.

Here is an update:

My plan is to do 3 strength-training exercises each day before my walk or bike ride. Over the next few weeks I will increase the number of sets until I get to 3 sets of 10 for each exercise. then I plan to increase the number of repetitions until I get to 3 sets of 15.

I'm not sure if I will increase my walk distance or just continue with 1 mile and try to increase my pace.

Today:

1 set of 10 of each--squats, pushups, backward lunges

1 mile in 19 minutes

(I know---last week it took me 30 minutes but that really was uphill)

I think my little fire is coming back!!
