Twelve or thirteen years ago - maybe a little longer than that - a friend of mine who is a personal trainer wrote up a plan for me. I did it at the time, and it did good things. I lost weight steadily and got stronger. It's a starter plan for sure, but I'm very much a beginner, so I pulled out the pages, reviewed them last night, and did the upper body training this morning. He has it set up for upper body on Monday and Thursday, lower body Tuesday and Friday, and cardio Monday through Saturday. I should have time for a walk this afternoon.
He also recommended higher fat and protein than I have been eating, with lower carbs (than I have been eating, but not 'low carb'). I will work toward that over the course of time, now that my gallbladder seems to be doing better. I'm giving myself a couple weeks to transition on the eating part, and unless I add protein drinks, I'm not sure I can make the protein intake (about 100 grams)...we'll see. It is a work in progress, for sure!
I should also say that this friend of mine is from Ukraine, and just reading what he typed up makes me smile...English is not his first language, and there are little things about the way he says things that I had forgotten. We are not in touch these days. I may need to see about changing that, just to let him know he's still helping me!
