There are 52 weeks in a year of which I have just completed one week of eating clean.  I am breaking the 52 weeks down into 4 thirteen week chunks.  This is just me thinking out loud here.

So I am in my first 13 week chunk.  My plan for these 13 weeks is to eat clean 90% or better of the time.  This means that if I eat every 3 hours, or 5 -6 meals a day, that I can blow 3- 4 meals a week.  Now let me explain what I mean about blow.  This does not mean that i can pig out.  A missed meal is a blown meal.  A meal without veggies is a blown meal.  A meal with carbs - other than veggies/fruit - without first working out is a blown meal.  Eating fruit at more than a 3:1 ratio of veggies:fruit is a blown meal.  Finally, eating carbs other than veggies/fruit or brown rice is a blown meal.    At no time am I allowing bread, pasta, or sweets into my diet for the 52 weeks.

My exercise goals are for the first 13 weeks are simple.   I will walk 30-1hr 6 days a week, increasing speed and incline as I am able.  I will work my mobility exercises and strength band exercises 3 days a week.

My health will be, is my top priority over these next 52 weeks.  Family, work, and recreation all takes a back seat to my 52 week plan.  In the end the energy I gain from being healthy and slimmed down will more than make up for time that I miss in these 52 weeks.

At the end of 52 weeks I will take stock and adjust my goals.  I will probably hire a trainer again at that time.
