I have been working my own individual program. I half started in February and then "fell off the wagon". My biggest obstacle is when I lose the weight I quit all that I have done to get there. THEN the weight creeps back on. In the past I have gotten down to 12% body fat and was able to run 7-10 miles a day. NOW I am barely running 2 miles every other day, and my body fat is around 30%! YIKES!
Here are my goals-
I want to finish a marathon. (I have run a half marathon awhile ago)
Wear a two piece swim suit (and not gross everyone out!)
Play with my 3 year old and keep up!
Feel healthy and know I am strong
Feed my family foods that nourish them and help them establish good future eating habits
Be able to wake early and not have that "groggy" feeling
My plan includes many veggies and select fruits. Chicken, Lean turkey burger, and fish. I am also including grains and seeds that are typical to low carb diets. I recently started using Quoina. I found it to be high in protein, fiber and many nutrients. It can be used with black beans and spanish style seasoning for a yummy dinner. It can also be used as a breakfast type warm cereal.
I am getting up before work to do my cardio. I alternate between the rowing machine, stepper, eliptical, and running outdoors. On the days I do this I feel AWESOME! I will try to add some resistance training in the next two weeks.
If I can keep this up I should be at my goal weight before Christmas. That will be the best gift I can give myself!
