I do.....I manage my life with my phone calendar....It talks to me and tells me what to do. When I set up this Health Schedule I kept a few variables in mind:
1. My Blood Sugar Fluctuations
2. My Potential Hunger
3. My Work Schedule (I kept my patients in mind)
4. My Vitamin needs, especially in the afternoon
5. My Water Needs
6. My Veggie Needs
7. My Meat Intake for adequate protein
I basically used the techniques I use for my patients on myself.... Not all of my weight loss patients want a schedule but some thrive when they are told exactly what to do and what time to do it.
Do I stick to the schedule perfectly?
Why no, I don't....LOL....If you have followed me at all, you have probably figured out that I am learning to live a disciplined life and have not arrived although I am getting better....
One thing on my calendar that I intend to do but haven't succeeded very many times, is getting up at 4:30 a.m. I know that if I get up at 4:30 I will have more time to do all the things I want to do to accomplish my goals... I do consistently get up at 5:30 but that extra hour would give me that extra push....I'll get there some day!!!
Also, when my phone tells me to eat a vegetable, I may be busy with a patient or in the middle of something else where I can not drop everything and go eat, but my phone talks out loud so I hear it and it stays in the back of my mind until I obey.....
A sample day would be something like this:
4:30 get up/drink water/exercise
5:00 Drink Coffee and Protein Packet
5:30 Shower
6:00 Study
7:00 Get Ready For Work
10:00 Drink More Coffee and Protein Packet
12:30 Eat a Veggie
4:00 Eat a Veggie and Afternoon Snack
6:30 Eat Supper
7:30 Walk Sadie
8:30 Bed
I hope this gives you ideas on how to manage your weight loss and your health...
Love ya,
Sonia
