130s by Thirty - The Plan

As I am an current a stay at home mom of 2 small boys, I need to have a realistic plan of attack for eating and exercising. I am limited on alone time to be able to work out in our house on a treadmill and currently do not have the opportunity to attend a gym. I also know that completely eliminating some foods in my diet will drive me crazy and will only set me up for failure. So I am going into this with a plan that is flexible for change and realistic for my current lifestyle.

The Do's

• Drink More Water! 8 glasses a day
• Eat more fruits and Veggies - 2x a day.
• Start walking and exercising - 4 times a week.
• Increase fiber intake.
• Eat 5 times a day.
• Eat food that I enjoy in decreased quantities.

The Don'ts

• Don't drink Soda. It is just empty calories and full of sugar.
• Decrease / Eliminate 'starches' as fillers. No sides of potatoes, fries, chips etc...
• Decrease White flour and breads.

Tracking Changes
It just so happens that I have a yearly physical coming up in January, so I will have blood work taken at that time that will give beginning and ending physical statistics. I also plan on tracking my Weight and body dimensions with the frequency of weekly and monthly, respectively. I will also be wearing a pedometer to track my 'steps taken' each day. To create a baseline of the above tracking parameters, I will take body dimensions after Christmas and am currently wearing a pedometer a few days a week to figure out my current average steps taken each day.
