I have mastered eating gluten free and do very well eating paleo. Now I am working on eating smaller portions and exercising during the healthy challenge time period. My goal is not to lose weight, per se, but to reach a healthy weight and feel well.
Lisa, our personal trainer at work, provided instructions to make a SMART weight loss goal. SMART is an acronym fo Specific Measurable Attainable Relevant and Time-Bound. My goal is "On Monday, January 23, I will feel strong and full of energy at 199 pounds by eating smaller portions, making healthy food choices and exercising every day, alternating paleo cardio and weight training."
I have a goal to lose 1 pound in a week and would like to eventually be at my target weight of 160 pounds. When I started eating paleo, I was at 245 pounds. I have pretty much eaten as much as I wanted, within the paleo guidelines, and did minimal exercising to reach the 200 pounds I am at now. It is the first time in my entire life that I have actually been able to lose weight in a healthy manner and feel good.
My physical goals are to sleep only 8 hours a day, instead of 10 or 12, stretch every day, do some sort of exercise I enjoy and practice wall sits and push ups to improve my strength.
One thing I have found which helps me stay on track is to keep a list of things I crave on my wish list of cheat items. When I have my cheat day I can then look at the list and see if I still really, really want what I have written down. It is a good way to track if my cravings go away over time and work on self-gratification.
