I've officially started a new program today called the Pink Method. I hate calling it a diet, its just a formal healthy eating regime. I don't believe in diets, but I do believe in healthy eating and lifestyle. Its broken into four phases; Reset, Primary, Shred and Preservation. They're exactly what they sound like- Reset is boosting your metabolism, Primary is introducing slow carbs and fruits with workouts. The Shred is meant to get you over the lull you can hit, and Preservation is, well, to keep you where you're at.
My mom actually first heard of this on Dr. Phil I think. After I read through it, it seemed logical and well, very doable. I've struggled with other methods that tell you to eat nothing but chicken and brown rice, or eat a bazillion times a day ( I struggle to find the time for once or twice a day).
That is the other thing I want to change about myself. I do consider what I eat, but I don't place enough importance on how I eat, when and how often. I eat when I have a minute, which usually doesn't happen until 2 or 3 in the afternoon, and sometimes not until after class. Or, I find the time for lunch, but then supper gets pushed back until 9 or 10pm. I don't even try for breakfast, unless I wake up two hours early to catch a ride with Nick into town.
But, as Sifu Brinker said, the UBBT was his original excuse to do something for himself. So I've made a promise to myself to put this first, and ultimately myself before work or laundry or schedules.
I'll keep you posted.
