Quick Update

Just as an FYI...

I knew I would have trouble getting up early enough to work out before work today, so I did a 15 workout from the new issue of Shape magazine, plus a bit of housework, including mopping, last night.

I was pretty good most of the weekend, even Thanksgiving day, only 1 plate at dinner and no dessert (although I must confess that breakfast on Thanksgiving morning was some yummy banana pudding).

The beginning...

OK, although I never have been much of a writer, I thought this would be a good way to keep track of how my weight loss is going.

My goals:

• To get fit. I'm not looking to be a size 6, that's just not a realistic goal for my body type.
• I would like to lose some fat (especially belly fat, which is supposed to be the worst for your health), around 40-50lbs, and reduce my BMI to a more healthy level.
• Build some muscle
• Have more energy.

Actions:

• More fruits, vegetables and whole grains added to my diet.
• Less refined sugars and fats
• More Cardio (I don't particularly enjoy this one)
• More Weight Training (This, I do enjoy)
• Get more sleep (this will make it easier to get up and work-out before work)

Starting Statistics:

• Weight - 189lbs
• BMI - 33
• Age - 28 (at least for 1 more day :)
• Height - 5'3"
