A New Year’s Begun

So I’ve moved into my new place YAY and was very pround of myself for carrying all my stuff up the stairs to my second floor apartment.  It took me all day Sunday, but was so worth it. Awesome.

I’ve also been taking Luna on walks 2 times a day and am going to start jogging with her next week.  I’m thinking about getting a puppy now so keep her company since I think she does get a bit bored with just me.

So now that I’m moving in and have my bike and other stuff, what are my plans?

Exercise:

  1. walk/jog/run with dogs 2xs a day
  2. ride bike to work and grocery store (both less than 2 miles from home)
  3. one fitness related leisure activity per month, like camping, horseback riding, mountain climbing, or going to the lake.
  4. do strength training 3 times a week for at least 30 minutes
  5. do cardio 3 times a week for at least 30 minutes

Diet/ Food Plan:

  1. Eat out twice a week
  2. Eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and an afternoon snack
  3. Eat a majority meat dish once a day (grilled when possible)
  4. Small and measured amounts of cheese and sour cream and cream cheese
  5. Only eat high fiber, whole grains once a day
  6. Eat as many eggs or tofu as wanted
  7. Eat as many fruits and veggies as wanted
  8. Nothing fried or heavy allowed
  9. A protein shake as a midmorning snack or meal substute is acceptable once a day.
  10. Eat fish/sea food 2 times a week
  11. Limit diet soda intake to 3 a day
  12. Drink water with every meal and between meal. Have a water bottle available at all times.

So we shall see how well this works out. Part of the whole moving things was bringing in all the things I never wear anymore and I realized that most of my clothes are a size 10 and I really like most of them, have even sewed a few, so I really want to fit them again as soon as possible. I would like to fit into my size 10s by the middle of March. That gives me 3 months to lose 20-25 pounds. I would have gone for a total Atkins diet, but that can get a bit heavy and I get to craving fruits and veggies, so this is my compromise. Lean meats and cheeses, a lot of fruits and veggies, and limited amounts of low GI things.
