Getting and Staying Healthy After Fifty

I need structure if I’m going to make this weight loss/get in shape thing work. So this will be the regimen from now on:

Morning:
1 cup of coffee
Morning walk (1.3 mi.) with neighbor, which is more of a stroll for me, but better than nothing I guess.
Come home, drink a 12 oz. glass of mixed veggie and fruit juice and walk on treadmill for 30 minutes fast enough to actually burn some calories
Drink one 8 oz. glass of water

After that, I will alternate one 8 oz. glass of juice with one 8 oz. glass of water every hour. Every two hours, I will have one fruit or veggie, such as an apple or a couple of celery sticks.

At dinner time, I will eat a nice salad and drink another 8 oz. glass of juice.   I won’t eat or drink anything after 7:30 p.m.  It will probably be 7 p.m., but I’m giving myself an extra half hour just in case I get tied up and have to eat late.

I feel like if I have this structure, it will become habit.  After a month, I’ll add a small midday meal.  I’ll stick with this for 6 months and see how I do.
