"50 by 50…how to get there
To start eliminate gluten, dairy and eggs, soy, peanuts,
grains and corn, sugar. After three weeks begin reintroducing single items two
days at a time. I’d like to keep any bread consumed as sour dough, dairy
fermented, no peanuts or corn or sugar. Limit alcohol for weekend and limit the
amount. Take coconut oil every day, bone
broth with collagen daily, stay well hydrated …. eliminate caffeine.
20 minute HIIT at least 3 days a week and strength training
3 separate days. Qigong weekly (or tai chi).
I have on several occasions successfully lost winter weight
gain down to just above a size 14 but never passed that. When I reach that size,
I plateau no matter what I do. My goal this 12-month period is to surpass this
plateau, be 50 pounds lighter, show softly defined muscle tone, and feel radiantly
healthy inside and out.
I need to make sure that I have foods that I enjoy and
nourish me on hand so I do not reach for something that doesn’t nourish but
simply satiates my hunger. It’s important to be prepared and not hope for the
best or wing it. Healthy eating is a blessing to the body and with the variety
available to support optimal nourishment this should not be a problem.
Same mindset with exercise: do things I find fun! I like
getting the most out of a little since my time is limited. Therefore, I am
going for varied HIIT exercises with alternating weight lifting days. I still
think it is important to have a more relaxed cardio so qigong, walking, belly
dancing, bike riding, swimming, etc. will be incorporated.
Aside from the eating and exercise plans, I need to daily
listen to information that keeps me focused on healthy living. I know I will need to also make available
supplements that fill in nourishment gaps: omegas, B vitamins, MCT,
micronutrients, etc.
I want to make this lifestyle permanent; so, it needs to be
doable, fun, and satisfying year-round."
