Hey!
First of all, im not sure if this is what you meant, but dont stop eating completely. I hope that is not what you were implying. I am 14 too. Hmmm. Swimming is VERY good for you to do, it excersices all of your muscles without putting as much stress on them because water makes you seem weightless. As for walk/jogging, you should set goals each day or every other day. For instance, on the first day you could walk to a certain point (not very far) and then the next day go a little further, then a little further... etc. One thing that we learned in fitness is to do one excersice one day and then another excersice the next day.
Food is a tough one at this age. I am 14 and I have tried to go on diets too before. It is VERY hard because my mom does all of the grocery shopping and all of the cooking so I cant really choose what we are eating. But something you can do is like when you go out to eat, choose something healthy, or when you are going to eat dinner, instead of eating the main dish eat only side vegetables (if they are offered). I wrote a list of foods you should eat and foods you shouldnt.
FOODS YOU SHOULD NOT EAT
1. White potatoes
2. white bread
3. white rice
4. brownies, cookies, cake
5. mayonnaise
6. refined sugar
7. anything that has in the ingrediants; enriched bleached flour, or hydrogenated corn syrup.
8. soda
9. cereals
10. doughnuts
Foods you should eat
1. vegetables
2. fruits lots of fruits
3. peanuts, cashews, almonds (plain)
4. beans
5. water
6. natural juice
7. pretzals
8. milk
9. sandwiches with tomatoes and lettuce. NO MAYO.
Thats all I can think of right now but I think you get the idea. I also made a schedule since you said you do well with those.
Of course you will probably have to change around times and whatever because you will go to bed, get up, eat meals, all at different times than I do.
This is my schedule by the way : )
8:15- wake up, get dressed, shower
9:00- eat a healthy breakfast (fruit and whole wheat bagel
10:00- I do chores, anything my parents want me to do for them.
11:00- I go outside, go to the pool, or call one of my friends.
1:00 - I eat a healthy lunch (sandwich or soup/salad with fruit)
2:00 I go to the gym sometimes either that or go back to the pool/outside
3:00 I usually come inside, watch tv or play computer for a couple hours :)
5-8- eat dinner, chores, whatever. we usually dont have a set time for dinner so I dont really have a specific time. And for dinner I have... whatever my mom makes for me.
9:00 I sometimes watch tv and during the commercial breaks I do crunches the WHOLE time. It helps.
10:00-11:30 - do whatever!
11:30 i go to sleep.
Of course I am not THIS scheduled, this is just a guideline for me and thought that you might like to follow it as well. I spent alot of time on this so that i could help you so let me know at the end of the summer how you are doing!!
Happy summer and good luck! Acetrace92
