Welcome to my fitness blog. I decided this is the year I really want to work on getting myself into better shape and to the weight I want to be. My goal is to lose 17 pounds and tone up my body. Currently I weigh 157 pounds, which puts me just on this side of the normal weight range according to BMI. I would like to be solidly in the normal range in the next few months.
My plan is fairly simple: Eat better and exercise more. My eat better plan includes eating lower carb and eating a lot more vegetables. I won't necessarily be going Atkins low carb as I will continue to eat lots of fruit and sometimes beans. My exercise plan is two-fold. My husband and I will be walking the dog most mornings for half an hour. In the evening we will be working out to this video: Power 90. We have had this video for almost a year now, but we are not very consistent about using it. Our goal is to do it 6 days a week, just like the program suggests. Power 90 is a mix of cardio and strength training, which is a good combination. I would like to work my way up to P90X and Insanity.
So my idea is to post everyday or every few days with updates regarding weight, what I have eaten or what I am going to eat, and the exercise that I have done. So here is today so far:
Weight: 157
Meals: Breakfast: Two small apples, low carb raspberry yogurt, and maybe a no sugar added pudding cup
Lunch: Is either eating out, so I will probably have a chorizo sandwich with a salad, or if I eat in, I will have homemade low carb beef vegetable soup
Dinner: Salmon fillet with italian herbs and lemon, and vegetables
Exercise: We did not walk the dog this morning. He is still pretty sore from Saturday when CJ and I took him and Karley hiking for two hours. He chased two rabbits and had a great time, but hurt the pads of his feet a little bit. When his feet heal we will take him on a walk.
We will do the video tonight though, probably the cardio video.
