It's more like 11-12 pounds now.....but, I have been meaning for a while to drop 10 pounds. I want to weight 130, and I currently weight about 141. I realize that weight is not the only thing that reflects how you look or how healthy you are, but I know that I have plenty of extra fat that I don't like, and I also know that dieting down to 130 pounds would give me a more ideal body.
So, here it goes. I don't exactly have a specified time limit on this goal. In fact, my only limitation is that I want it achieved before May 1st, 2007. That gives me plenty of time to get in shape the right way.
I'm doing it, girls. Thanks for putting your confidence in me. I am starting this on Sunday October 8th. I need my energy for my biggest competition day of my favorite sport on Saturday morning. After that, my sports performance means so much less to me, and the only goal after that is to pass the Navy Seals fitness test.
500 yd swim
10 min rest
42 push ups in 2:00
50 sit ups in 2:00
6 chin ups
1.5 mile run
in which I need to improve my *chin ups*, push ups, and sit ups. It's possible to drop body fat while getting stronger, eh? Actually, dropping body weight should help me get my last few reps of my chin-ups.
Only problem now is going about auctually losing these 11 pounds. I love to eat, lol.
Here's what my dieting and exercise sceme look like (although none of the particulars are figured out yet!)
(School days)
Diet:
Wake up 6:00 am
6:30 Breakfast:
High-protein cereal with skim milk (sometimes with Egg Beaters)
or Oatmeal (sometimes with Egg Beaters)
or whole-weat English Muffin with Naturally More peanut butter (10 grams protein, 11 grams fat)
9:20 Packed snack. Many options. Refer to list of foods I like to eat.
Lunch 12:30- School chicken salad-, piece of fruit, and skim milk (no dressing, try to pick off all the cheese on the salad)
3:00 Cross country practice for two more weeks.
Right afterwards, a protein bar.
Then, lifting with a school sports trainer.
then eat again (usually i eat a ton of food after practice. Wonder what I SHOULD eat here)
Finally, dinnner: the hardest part because my family usually cooks. I've been trying to enforce whole grains, and less butter, but it doesn't always work.
The biggest things I need to learn how to do are to 1.) learn what full means, 2.) stop eating when full, 3.) realize that I do not need to grab protein all day and say it acceptable to eat something right now just because it has protein in it and 4.) stop eating junk
What do you think?
any ideas from my signature of favorite foods that i could insert into those slots I don't really know what to eat?
