I started a new diet plan to coincide with this app i purchased on the old Ipad. My New Diary allows me to keep track of what I eat and plan to lose the amount that I need to fit into all the crap in my closet.
My new scheme is to eat every four hours while awake. Each meal will be between 200 to 500 calories without any snacking in between. This way i am never more than four hours from a meal (except while sleeping).
Yesterday was my first full day and I did well. I even ate out at a restaurant for dinner. I ended up with around 1500 calories and drank about 146 glasses of water, but it is a start.
I figure that i need to start a diet ASAP since my PFT is around the corner and there is no way in hell I will pass it. I think they allow 42 days to retake it and I am planning on the retake now instead of waiting for next week. My goal is to smoke the test the next time - fingers crossed!
In COT I scored 86 and 89, just a smidge away from 90 (excellent) so for the retake my goal is a 90 or better. I think that will keep me safe for an entire year. Not sure since it will be a retake, but one can dream.
I have been in the dumps all week worrying about the test and the mandatory PT that will follow when a friend of mine told me, "just do your best and whatever happens, happens." It sounds simple and I guess he was right. I have been stressed and it is doing me no good at all and apparently irritating my friends.
Maybe the mandatory PT will do me some good. Maybe I will find the motivation to keep my fitness in check once and for all. I did join the military, in part, because of the fitness standards. So now is the time for me to walk the walk!
