Slow and Steady Wins the Race.

January 6, 2012 by Michelle Hinckley |

I’ve got a problem. It has to do with a certain muffin top curling over my pants. Oye. It sounds so cliche to start a diet at the beginning of the new year but yes, I amognst the ranks of millions of new year’s dieters.  It all hit me when we paid money to have family pictures done and I could only send out the pictures of my boys because I was so dissatisfied with my figure.  I could blame it on the lighting but it’s an ugly truth I’ve been avoiding. I could stand to loose 5 pounds.  Okay make that 10.

Two babies ago I completed the Body For Life diet and fitness program with great results.  But then, another couple pregnancies came and went along with my figure.  So this time I’m re-committed.  I’m not going to call it a diet, just a committment to have a healthier lifestyle.  No more finishing my kids meals.  No more late night cookies and milk.  No more I LOVE to work out but you ask me to starve myself and I turn in to one mean woman that you’d rather not encounter.

Here’s the plan…
-6 days a week, 6 small meals a daywhich include protein, fruit, veggies and a carb.
-1 day a week is free day.  Eat whatever.  Donuts in the morning, pizza in the afternoon, fried chicken in the evening…totally legit.
