Ok it is now time to work on MEE! MEE is the three part program that I will use to attain my
goal which is a healthy life and the loss of 150+ lbs. This journal is to keep me motivated and to keep me accountable for my actions as well as getting help from you guys. It will also track my progress.
What is MEE?
1 M: MINDSET. The first step is to get your mind focused on your task, in this case weightloss. It is soo important to keep your motivation up. I will learn about food, be aware of what is good and bad, keep informed on health issues, and keep motivation up by participating in this website. If the mind has motivation, the
body will follow. The saying is true "You can do anything you put your mind to".
2 E: EATING. This means eating food that is healthy for your
body, being aware of chemicals and additives that are not good for you and eating correct portion size. Very simple, eat what is good for you.
3 E: EXERCISE. In order for my program to work I will need to exercise. I have been doing the
treadmill for 2 weeks and will continue to do so. I will eventually start a weightlifting program.
Today is day 14 and I will weigh in tomorrow morning. All is going well and my motivation is high. I started at 367.8 lbs and eventually would like to reach 200 or even better 199 to be in the "hundreds". It will be a long road ahead of me but I have not put a time limit on my progress because it is not a
diet - it is a lifestyle change with no end. I started eating healthy, no more eating out at popeyes and McD's. I have a salad everyday for lunch with turkey and cheese with italian dressing. For dinner... salmon, chicken, stirfry or other healthy dishes in the correct portions with brown rice or potato and veggies. Also I have started drinking water( instead of soda or juice). No more ..."it tastes funny". I have started exercising on the
treadmill, the first week 30 min a day and the second week 1 hour a day. I also have a dog that I will walk outside when the weather is better (-5F) to supplement my exercise. I will also start weight lifting a few times a week. As I continue with my journal I will include background info, thoughts, feelings and of corse progress. Alot of the time we make things so complicated ,where, when, how much, how long etc. when the answer is so simple..... eat healthy and exercise! That is all there is to it, nothing more, or less. EAT HEALTHY AND EXERCISE! With that I am off to the
treadmill, it is calling my name.....wait......its calling your name! O Darn it ....it was calling my name, wish me luck................
