I am a 31 year old first-time mother of a beautiful 8 month baby boy, currently on Maternity leave and due back to work in about 4 months. I have been chubby/ overweight all my life...started off my pregnancy that way and am very tightly fitting into my pre-pregnancy clothes.
I am embarking on a mission to finally become permanently, naturally slim and healthy without employing any gimmicky or overly complicated diet or exercise program. A simple routine that I can easily adapt into my lifestyle. Hence the name for the blog, Simply Slim Strategy.
My simple plan of action is:
1. Eat a moderate lunch and dinner, fruits and tea only before noon. Only fruits and veggies for snacks if needed.
2. 10- 15 minutes aerobic exercise daily.
3. Focus on being successful on this plan at a given moment. Success now= Successful future
The reasoning behind my plan?
I chosen this particular eating plan so that I am actually hungry for mealtime. To enhance the enjoyment of the meal and allow it to be properly digested.
So I'm not constantly having to think about what to eat next all day. So I can devoted 15- 20 minutes to properly chew, relax and savor the food I ingest.
With regards to exercise...only 10-15 minutes a day. Again, I know this is not optimal, but this is what I can incorporate easily into my daily routine. I feel consistency is a key determining factor in success.
Focus on success in the moment.
I have been down the path of trying to achieve my ideal weight many, many times... I'm sure others can relate to this. However, whenever I slip up on any given plan...I give my self permission to start again tomorrow...start again Monday, have a final binge...this has become a never ending cycle and has lead to years and years of struggle and failure to permanently achieve my goal. So my goal at any given time is to be successful in the moment.
There it is...short, sweet and simple. I hope to frequently blog with my details of my progress and many more details.
