I can do anything

I'm so bored of my dramatic "I'm starting over again" posts, but here is yet another one. Whatever. You only truly fail when you stop trying, right?

The new plan is a four pronged attack being guided by my husband (thanks, honey). Here are the four prongs:

1 - Eat protein at every meal.

2 - Resistance training twice a week.

3 - Cardio thrice a week.

4 - Non-Exercise Physical Activity (NEPA)

I'd never head the term NEPA before, but I was familiar with the concept. NEPA is parking far away from the store, taking the stairs, making multiple trips to take the laundry into the basement (as opposed to trying to carry everything in one trip), etc.

I'm also supposed to take fish oil, a multivitamin, and drink lots of water daily. I keep forgetting the fish oil and vitamin, but I'm incorporating so many changes that I can't be expected to remember everything. It will get more natural as time passes.

So far, so good.

I've decided not to weigh myself. Ever. A disappointing weigh in totally derails me. Instead, we're taking one measurement, every week, and I will use that measurement to "measure" (I'm so witty) my progress. The measurement I've picked is my calf measurement. A high calf measurement is less devastating than a high waist measurement. Not to mention the fact that, once my calves reach a certain size, I can reward myself with a new pair of boots! This measurement gauges my progress and provides me with a goal...I LOVE MULTITASKING!

So that's all the gossip I have for now.
