I read an interesting article yesterday that simply stated "Every choice you make will either make you more healthy or less healthy." This really makes sense to me, and it's been on my mind ever since. For example, at work today there were leftover sandwiches from an office party. I told myself that eating one of those would not be as healthy as my usual cucumber and tomato salad. It was also easy to turn it down because I couldn't identify the meat, but still.
So I have a few goals for this weekend. As you may have guessed from the URL I chose, I love to golf, kayak, and bike. I'm going to do each of these things at least once this weekend, with hopefully a couple sessions of P90X mixed in. I find that if I do activities that I enjoy instead of workouts that I find boring, I'm much more likely to do them every day. At first, I didn't think that simply walking while playing golf would be enough to help my weight loss goals. However, if I golf 3-4 times a week and walk as fast as I can between shots, it actually does elevate my heart rate. Mixed in with the awesome lower body workout of biking, and the fun yet challenging upper body workout of kayaking, and I've got myself a pretty fun yet active summer.
Along with this, I'm going to stick mostly to lean proteins, fruits and vegetables (raw if possible), and whole grains with lots of fiber. I'm sure that being around Grandma's house will put a damper on the perfection of this plan, but anyone who knows my grandma knows that it's a much better idea to overeat than to appear to dislike her cooking :)
Anyway, that's my plan in a nutshell. Eat raw, get active doing the things I love, and think about how each activity is either helping or hurting my fitness goals.
