Day 3 of 14 Day Plan
Yesterday was better. Scored a 7.
I found a site that might be helpful to increasing your exercise: http://walking.about.com/cs/howtoloseweight/a/calcalculators.htm
I always walk farther when I am using my pedometer.
A pedometer can be tricky if you have a mushy middle. It will jiggle and count steps incorrectly. You have two options: 1) Keep it on your waist and know that the inaccuracy will be the same for a while or find a different place to clip it. My trainer had me clip mine to my sneakers. This has worked well for me for walking. I have not found a place to clip it so I can wear it all day. Anybody got a suggestion?
Update details
I feel better but a little anxious or rushed. Since it has been awhile since I have put myself on a Super Highway Plan, I am not use to thinking about eating or drinking water all the time.
This feeling is the Neutral Zone of change – shifting from the old way to the new way. And with change comes unexpected results. I weighed my chicken for dinner and discovered that 6ozs is much small than I remembered! Memory Creep is alive and well! This is one reason to check the weight and measurements of your food at regularly. So I now have chicken to put on my salad today!
I had 5 meals but it felt like I was eating all day. At least I wasn’t hungry. I adjusted my water bottle system for drinking water and made the 88 ozs, but my 7+ hours of sleep was interrupted by bathroom trips. Walked the dog farther and have a step count to compare with. Took my blood sugar. Did 2 things for beauty time (still just 1 point).
I got so busy yesterday; I forgot to take my medications. I still have not done my visualization (I’ll talk about that tomorrow), a 2nd exercise and I didn’t declutter. I have set aside a chunk of time to work on my exercise space today. Again, I have proved that if you don’t schedule exercise, chances are you won’t do it! Tomorrow, I plan on swimming so I can get that point.
What can you do today to improve your health? Let me know.

I did not get started on 9/10. Just listened to the replay yesterday. So…I am starting on 9/16.
Today was my boyfriend’s birthday–not a good day to start. It just would not have worked.
I’ve determined that my super highway plan is ATKINS, low Carb eating. But I’ll allow myself double the 20 grams per day – 406grams carbs. Maybe I can work towards 20 over the 14 days.
You are doing pretty well. Thanks for sharing your progress.
I will also post my successes, struggles etc. on the blog.
