I am 32 years old and current weigh 197lbs. My height is 5 ft 6 inches.
I have decided that I am ready to lose my excess weight and aiming at 155 lbs in my first leg of this race.
My
goal is to lose 3 lbs per week, therefore by
May 31st I should weigh 176 lbs,
June 28th I should weigh 164 lbs,
July 19th I should weigh 155 lbs.
If I lose more than 3 lbs a week I am happy but I want to lose it slow and keep it off.
My approach to
weight loss is
diet and exercise as I realise there is no easy way out.
Diet - I am try to use less carbs and
fat. I will use more whole grain products.
Fresh fruits will be encorporated in my
diet and limitations or maybe no SNACKS. That is my hardest part, I loveeee cookies and chips.
I am trying to do minimal potato as well.
Of course no SODA. I heard Green Tea is good for losing weight so I will try to drink a cup or two daily.
A typical day should consist of any of the following but not all:
BREAKFAST
Whole Wheat Pita Bread
Steamed Vegetables
Oatmeal with fresh fruit
LUNCH
Soup or Salad
Fruits
White Meat only or Fish
1 cup brown rice
DINNER
Whole Wheat pita bread
Vegetables
White meat or fish
Fruits
Salad
When I eat out, I will try to limit my carbs.
Vitamins: B-Complex
EXERCISE : I live on a very steep hill which I will try to walk up at least 3 days per week.
