My Intro:
I'm new here. Not new to
dieting/nutrition/exercise. 30 years old, 5'7", 201.6#, been on a
nutrition and workout plan for a week. Lost 1
pound...! My
goal is to weigh a healthy 156# and to do it in a healthy way. 45
pounds to go! Dang that's the same weight as one of those big stackable
weights at the
gym and those things are HEAVY! It'll be good to get that off my back.
WORKOUT PLAN
(doesn't incorporate
weights yet)
Currently: Jog/Run on
treadmill, 5x per week, 24 mins, 5.3 mph speed, 330
calories. This gets my heartrate to 185 before my final speed increase to the finish. (So it ain't easy)
Goals:
1) increase
calories spent by 10% per week. (first workout was 287
calories, check)
2) increase speed by 5% per week. (ran at 5.0 mph speed last week)
3) run a 6 minute mile in 6 months.
NUTRITION
(currently)
Breakfast: 2 slices high fiber toast with peanut butter
Snack: Stony Field Yogurt, Orange
Lunch: 13 Almonds, Chicken Breast, High Fiber Tortilla
Snack: Stony Field Yogurt, Apple
Dinner: 1/2 Avocado, 10 oz. Spinach, Chicken Breast
Goals: around 1600
calories, vitamins and minerals, fiber, protein with each meal, fosters "gut bacteria" (yogurt).
WHY? Improve my health and
energy. Be more athletic and attractive. I am dating now, and it wouldn't hurt to look good for the ladies.
