Resolutions.

It's easy to think of new resolutions but it's harder to obey them! I've been thinking of my new diet plan for a long time and I finally managed to create it! But before I show it to you, I'd like to mention that I lost some weight, as well! I was on a 3-day fast and the scale showed... 61,5 kg (135 lbs). I'm so happy! I'm not overweight anymore :)

And now, 'cause I suppose everyone's so curious and excited, here's my new plan that I'm going to follow:

General rules, just to start with: 

  • 3 main meals (breakfast between 7:30 - 9:00, lunch at 13:00 and very light dinner at 18:00)  + 2 snacks (one piece of chocolate around 10:00 - 11:00 and some veggies at 15:00);
  • At least 8 glasses of water per day! Two of them have to be warm with squeezed lemon juice - it bursts my metabolizm and lowers my appetite; 
  • Total calorie intake per day: 500. If I really feel like binging - maximum 800 calories;
  • You can skip snacks but never skip the main meals;
  • Minimum 30 minutes of working out each day + 100 jumping jacks;
  • My meals should look nice and colorful and I can only use small plates;
  • At least two green teas a day;
  • 7-10 hrs of sleep.

I won't: binge, be lazy, stay up late, make excuses, skip meals, weight myself every day.
I will: not give up, be active, obey the rules, treat my body like a temple, get up early and kickstart my day with a positive attitude and balanced breaky, weight myself once a week, write on this blog more often, make new friends.

My daily plan:

Morning:
  • Wake up early (between 7 - 9 o'clock) feeling positive, motivated and ready to go
  • Turn on the radio to make the day happier from the start.
  • Go into the kitchen and get a glass of warm water with squeezed lemon juice.
  • Do 15 minutes light exercise! Dance as the music's playing and do 100 jumping jacks!
  • Have a shower.
  • 7:30 - 9:00 - time for small and clean breaky. Eat something light and healthy (it must be something that'll keep you feel full for a couple of hours). You can eat a cup of natural yogurt with an apple OR egg whites with green or red veggies OR cereal with hot water and a little bit of milk. (Breakfast should be UP TO 200 cals).
  • Now you have 20 minutes to relax! Reply to your e-mails, check Facebook, blogs, news... After twenty minutes walk your dog for 30 minutes OR, if it's too cold outside, do your favourite exercises indoors for 60 minutes.
  • Continue with your daily activities and responsibilities, not forgetting about drinking a glass of water every hour.
  • 10:00 - 11:00 - eat O.N.E. piece of chocolate. Don't eat the chocolate if you don't feel like it. It's not neccessary.
Mid day and afternoon:
  • 13:00 - time for lunch! Eat raw veggies (even canned beans and corn ♥) OR fruits OR cottage cheese OR a cup of natural yogurt. Remember that it has to be a medium-sized meal (UP TO 150 cals).
  • Study, draw, write, go online... Do whatever you need/like to do. Go shopping if there are no necessary products! 
  • 15:00 - snack time! Eat some veggies like raw carrots. No canned veggies here!!! You also can have dried carrots. (UP TO 70 cals).
  • 18:00 - time for some SMALL dinner. It has to be small because it's already late. Your dinner should consist of proteins (egg whites, tofu) with raw vegetables. (UP TO 80 cals). 
  • 20 minutes after dinner, have another glass of warm water with lemon juice. Lemon is good for detoxing.
Evening:
  • Go to bed four hours after dinner (at 22:00 the earliest). Remain active within this time! Clean the whole house, do laundry and the dishes, clean up in your room and do anything that keeps you moving!
  • Don't forget to post notes about your daily progress on this blog and write in your private diary! Do something that'll keep your mind off of food! Add pics on tumblr, chat to your friends or read a book!

I hope yous like my new plan! I'm excited about it and I'm going to start it tomorrow! I have to go to sleep now but before I shut down mu computer, I'd like to mention an amazing girl who has a blog http://healthysnax.tumblr.com/
