Boot Camp isn't a diet, it's a healthy living program designed to encourage life-long habits for better health.
I have to keep this in mind as I enter Week 4, energized and hoping to take it to the next level.
I'm making some more changes to my daily routine in the hopes of ensuring results.
For example, when I started Boot Camp three weeks ago, I replaced my daily cafe mochas with decaf soy lattes. The change saved me 150 calories and 7.5 grams of fat each day.
As I head into the final three weeks, I plan to replace the soy lattes with green tea, which has zero calories and zero fat. I am also planning to work out every weeknight and redouble my efforts to stay within my daily limit for caloric intake.
Sounds good, but here's the conundrum:
How can you tell when you are taking your healthy intentions too far?
I'm afraid that, in my quest for results, I'm setting the bar too high and therefore setting myself up for failure. Am I really creating lifelong healthy habits, or am I flirting with crash dieting with an eye towards short-term results?
How can you tell if you're pushing yourself hard enough — or if you're pushing yourself too hard?
