2008 My plan.... 2008 is the year I change my lifestyle and get healthy. Low carbing IS a part of being healthy in spite of what these nut jobs out there say, Our grandparents and civilization outside the USA all live low carb.

So my steps.....

1 - fast food is taboo.. the ONLY fast food allowed is salad or Sub places with Whole wheat bread or wraps. I don't care if everyone else wants to go out to tacobell for gut bombs... you do not go. do NOT eat that fast food junk.

2 - corn syrup is taboo.. If it's has high fructose corn syrup or any thing but cane sugar or honey in it is taboo. Corn syrup I am certain is the downfall of health.

3 - drink 2 additional pints of water a day. One of them is first thing in the AM. you really need to do this. It helps keep you full as well.

4 - Fresh fruit is no longer taboo... sorry but low carbing usually means leaving out fruit, I disagree. Eat fruit, at least 6 servings a day. Prefer you to eat 1 serving of blueberries or something that is very high in antioxidents daily.

5 - Add mini-exercise where you go... Get a hand exerciser and build your grip while you drive, do not use the elevator for anything more than 3 floors. Get off your butt.

6 - More nuts! the higher fiber type like Almonds. eat at least 10 nuts (small handfull) daily. stay away from the pure fatty ones.

7 - Eat more veggies.. Come on, get over it and eat at least a couple of celery sticks and a carrot stick or something else a day.. add this to what you already eat.

8 - Pay attention.. You cant just wing it, pay attention to what you eat every day. Make a conscious decision to eat good food instead of that crap that everyone else eats. when you shop do not buy crap, and certainly refuse to buy anything that has corn syrup in it.


that's my start for this year....  ¶ 2:00 PM
