The Plan of Action

Okay, I am psychologically and physically BACK beginning today.

Yesterday I couldn't really diet - as I mentioned my family had a birthday party for me so it wasn't feasible. I did go to the gym yesterday and did about 35-40 minutes of cardio (walking and jogging around the track alternated with the elliptical machine) followed by a 1-hour yoga class. I contemplated swimming afterwards but decided to head over to the library to get more research done (I am working on my masters thesis).

Including today, there are 12 days left in January so I have mapped out a plan for what's left of this month. I've lowered calorie values for most days to compensate for the damage I have done this past week (I normally would never go as low as 1200 calories). I don't expect to end up with any positive results in January, but if I am able to follow this plan, there is a chance I can undo the damage I have done, plus POSSIBLY make progress, so we shall see. I am not banking on it, but I am going to see what I can do. I am not going to get worked up over it. So here's my plan for today through the end of the month:

1/20 - Rest & 1500
1/21 - Strength & 1200
1/22 - Cardio & 1800
1/23 - Strength & 1200
1/24 - Cardio & 1500
1/25 - Strength & 1200
1/26 - Cardio & 3000
1/27 - Rest & 1200
1/28 - Strength & 1200
1/29 - Cardio & 1200
1/30 - Strength & 1200
1/31 - Cardio & 1200

Looks like a good plan. It is great how you are planning to be strict with the calorie intake. I hope you have luck and experience postive results after all this month!
