Off to a good start!
So I did stick to my word and start my weight loss journey (once again) on Saturday(May 1st).
My ultimate goal is to get down to 150lbs. My current weight is 209 lbs. However I'm going to take my goals 10lbs at a time. I think it's more realistic, plus it sound better. The goal doesn't seem so overwhelming. I honestly would like to lose 8-10 pounds a month, but I might be pushing it. We shall see, one way or another I am going to lose this weight once and for all!
My routine exercises will be weight training from the choices of my weight machine, free weights, DVD series Chalean Extreme, and P90X. However right now I'm focusing on Chalean Extreme workout series and P90X after I succeed in Chalean Extreme. As far as cardio, I will either run or use the Turbo Jam workout series(I don't think I'll ever get tired of Turbo Jam).However most of my cardio will be done with running.
I will also be doing my infamous 200 crunches and 20 push-ups daily. I plan to weight train 5 days a week and run 4 days a week. My water intake will be 12 cups of water( it's necessary for my current weight). As far as eating, I'm not, lol. Well not right now anyway. I started with the Master Cleanse. I haven't done this cleanse in a while, it's long overdue. So why not a better time to do, it will help jump start my weight loss! Hopefully I can do this cleanse for a week. It will give me time to figure out what diet/eating plan I may do.
Although I had plenty of time to plan my exercise for this week I have not, I've been taking it one day at a time.(Which is not a good thing). However it has not stopped me from exercising. I WILL get in all my workouts!

Today was a light day for me. I haven't picked a running program to use. I may just use my own. That could be good or bad, depending on how well I stay disciplined and how well I push myself. I guess I will do it my way first and see how that works out. I plan to do walk/run intervals until I can run 20-30 min without stopping. After that I will add on time/distance.
Well I've written more than planned. It feels good to be back. time to get this show on the road!
Until Next Time Much Love
