Okay, here I am.
I have decided to start this blog in hopes to motivate myself to lose some unwanted pounds. The reason why I think that a blog will be somewhat helpful to me is that a few months ago i only had 20 pounds to go and due to some stress in my life, I put on an addtional 20 pounds instead of dropping the 20. Now, I have 40 pounds that I would like gone. I want to get it off and I hope that if I keep a daily record of my progress including food, fitness and feelings that I will be able to stay on track and focused.
Action Plan
Nutrition Plan
The plan is to do the following:
1. Write down everything I eat. That includes serving size and calories. I have been following a low calorie high protein diet.
2. Eat vegetables at every meal
3. Start the day off with a fruit.
4. Chew 30 times before swallowing and set the fork down between bites.
5. Drink 10 glasses of water a day.
*I will commit to this plan for the next 14 days. That is with an end date of November 7th, 2012.
Fitness Goals
This has been real challenging and that is mostly because of how tired I have been. I pushed myself so hard that I was exhausted and when I get that tired I get real irritable and start crying.
1. Burn 1500 calories a week with a combination of cardio exercise, strength training and flexibility.
2. Run a mile without stopping. So far I can only do 1/2 a mile before my athsma kicks in and that is an improvement because before it was 1/4 of a mile I could run before my athsma kicked in.
3. Run a 5K in 2013.
Motivation & Support
This is the most challenging area for me. I have my brother to workout with on Saturdays at the gym. He is also in a place were he wants to be fit. I have him for the weekend but as far as the day to day stuff I do not have much support which is why I am starting this blog.
