The Breakdown

The nine week plan is divided into three, three week segments.

1. The warm up (three weeks of gradual exercise build up)

2. The spa (three weeks of intense exercise)

3. The cool down (three weeks of developing the habit of maintaining)

Diet:

I tend to eat what I “feel” like as opposed to what is healthy fuel for my body.  I enjoy food and love a variety of tastes.  So going on some rabbit like diet of lettuce leaves and carrots has ultimately ended in me gaining back any weigh I might have lost.

In order to succeed, I need to maintain some flexibility. While working to developing the “habit” of eating to fuel my body.

Healthy eating = breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner (consistent fuel throughout the day).

• 1200-1500 calories for women = Three 300-400 calorie meals and two 100-150 calorie snacks.
• 1500-1800 calories for men =Three 400-500 calorie meals and two 100-150 calorie snacks
