Every New Year's I swear this will be the year that I get a hot bod and every year before January is even over I have fallen off the wagon. You all know how I have struggled this past year, but 2010 is going to be different. I actually have a goal that goes beyond just losing weight and getting in shape.
By the end of this year I plan to start training as a personal trainer, but I need to be in shape if I ever want that to work out. I am starting my own business in 2011, hopefully as a personal trainer. So, this year is all about preparing for my future career.
Since this is so important I have made a very detailed plan. It is a three step plan. It includes cutting down my pop drinking, drinking more water, specific toning of my arms, cardio workouts, working up to a 5 mile run and yoga. Also, I have a basic eating plan. I know that sounds like a lot - LOL.
My plan is broken into three steps - four month periods to slowly change my lifestyle. I am going to start with part 1 of each goals which includes:
cutting down to 3 pops a day
drinking 32 ounces of water a day
doing 30 minutes of cardio 5 days a week
doing arm training 3 days a week
jogging 1 mile 1 day a week
doing yoga 1 day a week
My eating plan is a basic plan. It is based on just trying to get in the proper amount of servings from each food group. Eating is not really the struggle for me. As you all know, it is my pop drinking.
I have a log book that I have actually been using since November to track my workouts. Now I will track all my goals to ensure I stay on track. I do know that every once in a while I may have to skip a workout or I may mess up, but that is okay. It is all about trying my best. That is my goal this year.
I am hoping to do very good and be able to lose 50 pounds by the end of May. That is about 2 pounds a week, which is very possible if I just stay on track.
Wish me luck and I wish luck to all you who have weight loss goals for 2010. We can do it!!!!
