Page 70 Do something you enjoy, chances are you’ll stick with it longer and it won’t feel like exercise. This could be brisk walking in the park with your dog or a friend while using it as catch up time while getting your daily exercise dose. Use your time wisely, find other activities you could be doing rather than sitting and watching television and if you have to catch your favorite program why not grab an hour of exercise on the treadmill at the same time? You could even record it or TiVo it. Make exercise a priority, remember this is lifestyle choice and to undo all the negative habits that were formed throughout your life you have to counteract it with positive ones. Exercise is definitely a high priority on that list. Set your exercise goals, re-evaluate them every month then aim to increase your duration and intensity once your fitness level improves. Eating Plan We have discussed which foods you should limit in your diet and which foods you should get more of. We talked about poly unsaturated and mono saturated fats and simple and complex carbohydrates and how you need a balance of everything. Monitoring your fat and calorie intake coupled with exercise will be instrumental in your weight loss. As you would have already calculated your target body mass index and your target weight you can now determine how much weight you will need to lose in order to achieve that goal. As was mentioned earlier, always start with an end in mind that way you can work gradually toward your weight loss goal.

Your body really is a machine that consumes and expends energy, once you figure that out your weight loss will be completely within your grasp. - 70 -
