1. Eat more veggies and fruit- I know that's vague but I just want to add more in and take out more processed foods for snacks and such.
2. More fiber and keep drinking my water
3. Exercise for one hour or more 5 X a week
4. Either do extra cardio (like a walk) or weights every day I work out
5. Stay under 1600 calories a day at least 5 days a week.
6. Be able to run a mile straight...even if it takes me 20 minutes, at least I want to run it all (of my goals this is the one I'm most concerned about)
7th and most importantly- Lose 7 pounds. It doesn't sound like much but it's hard for me to lose so it will be a miracle if I do it.
by the end of July I would like to weigh 145, which is 6 pounds. I think Im going to do more aggressive work outs, and switch my one free day a week to once every two weeks. My body is fighting me to keep every ounce lately which is utterly frustrating.
1. I would like to be somewhere between 190-195lbs.
2. somebody said going to bed before midnight. I am stealing that one!
3. Absolutely NO SODA! I never have a problem with this if it's out of the house...but my new roomates are addicted, so it's always freshly stocked....grrr.
4. Gym 5x per week. I am not gonna waste all that money I spent on membership.
5. 30 minutes min. walking after dinner.
6. NO FOOD AFTER DINNER unless it's fruits or veggies....and try to limit it to only if I'm actually hungry.
1. Learn to cook veggies and add more of them to my diet
2.Weight Lifting 2x's per Week.
3. Cardio 3x's Per Week
4. Lose 10lbs by the End of this month
Thank you!! I had a peice of cheese cake... yumm... but we also went out and I had a little too much to drink. Blew my bday WAY out of the water!! all and all its all good.
Yummmm, cheesecake... what a great splurge! Actually Weight Watchers Smart Ones has a really good cheesecake dessert. I think it's a black cherry cheesecake - I think it's only 150 calories or so. It's small, but very, very good.
Anyways, Day 3 went well. I had ONE smallish-regular size of veggie pizza (with whole wheat crust) for lunch, and a kiddie-sized scoop of Ben and Jerry's at their scoop shop while at the mall today. Yummy - and within the realm of reason! After I got home, I went to the gym and put in just over two hours there. I did another weights workout, so I've met my goal of two sessions per week. Food is good, even a little on the low side, despite the B&J's!
Day 4 - I exercised but I ate too much, pretty much a so-so day. At least I didn't eat myself sick or anything.
Day 5 - logged another couple of hours at the gym and did my weights again. Food is looking good today. I'm a little low today, so I might splurge and have a small bowl of ice cream (YUMM) for dessert in a little while.
well...update. I'm having to cut the exercise out due to Dr.'s orders {the only thing we would allow is swimming, and I can't climb the stairs to get to the pool at my uni} because my back went out. Hopefully I'll have my back surgery soon, and be able to get back to exercising!
doing good on the other areas....minor slipup in the name of krispy kreme last night but I stuck to plan today.
- Pilates: 3-week Pilates following the program from Denise Austin's book "Pilates" (probably starting July 11th (read the book and try the moves before that)
- try to limit coffee & drink more water (1.5 to 2 L)
- work on sleep routine (i.e. go to bed earlier & at regular times, no napping during the day)
- excercise every day in one form or other (if not gym then at home or in the park, but do something!)
- rope-skipping --> 2 times/week, 30 mins
My goal is to loose 10lbs this month. I have already lost 6. So that gived me hope that I can do it.
Eat more fruits and vegetables. And drink at least 4-5 glasses of water per day. Do cardio workout at least 45 mins @ 4x a week. And do Yoga 3x a week.
My Goals for the Month of July
for the rest of us, but, of course, not too much! Hope you have a wonderful day.
