Six weeks
I have set intermediate goals for the next six weeks and will report of my results on August 1, 2009. I intend to lose 30 pounds over the next six weeks. How am I going to do that? Glad you asked…I have a plan… . First my amazing wife (a smart, sexy medical doctor AND newly certified NSCA fitness trainer. I know… I’m a lucky guy) has set me up a weight training program. I’ll do 2 days upper each week and two days lower. I will also do cardio of some sort every day. For cardio, I’m going to do spinning classes first thing in the morning or do other cardio while wearing a heart rate monitor. I’ll do HITT programs to burn the fat off of me. I also intend to swim again just because I used to enjoy it so much. One of my goals is to be able to swim a mile without stopping and I would love to get involved with Master’s swim competitions, etc. I can’t get there without getting wet–so into the pool. Hope I’m not harpooned by mistake. I will also continue walking with my wife at night.
Now, I hear that fitness is a half training and half proper diet. I don’t know if that’s accurate or in fact rather than a breakdown in percentages it’s actually more of a synergy where proper diet enhances better training. My hunch is that it’s a synergy between the two and both are integral to achieve good fitness and good health. I have a calorie counter and nutrition anaylzer program called Lose It! on my I-Phone and I’ve been using it with good success. Great program and it was free. 2436 net healthy calories a day along with my workouts should bring me to my objective. I’ll post my results along the way but on August 1st I WILL weigh less than 285 pounds and be far more healthy for the positive effort.
Already looking forward to a good snow year next fall. I intend to weigh less than 240 pounds before I buckle up my boots again. Stay tuned.
