Hello readers(All one of you)! It’s time to get back on track. I’ve gotten back the few pounds I lost, and then some. I weighed myself this weekend a few times and I am officially at 136 pounds.
Time to lose that weight! My goal is to be 120. As for a date to lose that weight by, I’m not sure what is realistic. So I’ll say by the end of summer I’d like to lose 16 pounds. I’d like to be 120 even with the muscle weight that I may gain from working out.
In order to lose that weight, I need to start working out regularly again. Eating right isn’t really that hard for me, I just need to chose to do it, and I usually do fine. The biggest issue for me, is trying to drink water and eat breakfast. Those will be two goals I will have in regards to my eating habits.
As for my workout plan, I started it this weekend. My goal is in 8 weeks to be able to run for 30 minutes without stopping to walk/rest. I’m going to follow the plan here:
Week 1:
Walk for 6 minutes, jog at easy pace for 1 minute. Repeat 3 times. Walk for another 6 minutes slowly to cool down.
Aim for 3 sessions in week one.
Week 2:
Walk for 5 minutes, jog for 2 minutes. Repeat 3 times. Walk for another 5 minutes slowly to cool down.
Aim for 3 sessions in week two.
Week 3:
Walk for 3 minutes, jog for 4 minutes. Repeat 4 times. Walk 5 minute cool down.
Aim for 4 sessions in week three.
Week 4:
Walk for 2 minutes, jog for 5 minutes. Repeat 4 times. Walk 5 minute cool down.
Aim for 4 sessions in week four.
Week 5:
Walk for 2 minutes, jog for 8 minutes. Repeat 3 times. Walk 5 minute cool down.
Aim for 4 sessions in week five.
Week 6:
Walk for 2 minutes, jog for 9 minutes. Repeat 3 times. Walk 5 minute cool down.
Aim for 4 sessions in week six.
Week 7:
Walk for 1 minute, jog for 11 minutes. Repeat 3 times. Walk 5 minute cool down.
Aim for 4 sessions in week seven.
Week 8:
Walk for 5 minutes, run for 20 minutes, cool down for 5 minutes. Do this for the first three sessions this week. For the 4th session, walk 5 minutes, run for 30, cool down for 5.
If I can do this, I’ll be pretty excited. Wish me luck! Or pray for my motivation!!!! =)
Good Job you can do it. I need to start working out too. I am trying to walk on my lunch break again, since I don’t have much time.
