OK, now to come up with a plan to achieve my goal! I have tried a few things that never work... but that is probably because I never stick with them long enough. What I want to do is use the things those plans have in common.
First EAT BREAKFAST!!!
I truly believe this step is an important one and one I fail to follow on a regular basis. I am not an nutritionist or a doctor or a specialist in any way. I know from experience just following this little "rule" makes a big difference! When I skip meals my body immediately goes into what I call "starvation mode" and my metabolism shuts down to hold on to any calories I eat because it doesn't know when I will eat again.
Second EAT ALL DAY!
I truly believe eating 5 to 6 small meals a day is the way to go, mainly because of previously mentioned "starvation mode" My other thought behind this is that I wouldn't feel so hungry I would over eat when I did finally have a meal.
Finally EXERCISE!
Yes being active is important :) we all know that! The last time I went to my doctor she told me that I needed to walk at least 20 min a day and that she would whip me with a wet noodle if I didn't. I did really good the first week after that appointment... I have also decided that doing my usual shopping and such DOESN'T count :) With my kids in school (all but the youngest) I have been walking to meet them as they walk home to fulfill this step.
