First post …a bit of history
This is my first blog here. It’s time for a bit of history. I’m 26 and married. Last year in April i was 165.4 lbs (according to my mechanical scale which proved to be not very accurate to say the least…) and i was about to get married. Scared, fat and discouraged by a saleslady in a bridal shop, I looked for "diets" and ended up on www.sparkpeople.com. Created an account and started losing weight.
On my wedding day, Nov 4, 2006 i was 136 lbs and with both feet within a healthy BMI (i’m 5′2"). I managed to stick to that weight during the holidays but gained a bit during my finals in Feb 2007.
So in March 2007 i buckled up and restarted my plan on sparkpeople. I’m now at 128.8 lbs and only 9 lbs from my goal of 119 lbs. In Jun i started a body transformation program with a fellow team mate. She told me abt BodyBuilding.com. I got hooked immediately and starting tracking my progress. And it was a progress.
Right now my fitness plan is:
- burn 1,400 cal/week via cardio
- do at least 15 min strength training 2-3 times per week
- when the weather is lousy, use the stepper; when it’s nice, play tennis
I’ve lost 2% BF (calculated wt the navy formula and compared to the Jun value) in one month and a total of 5.6 inches. Which i believe it just AWESOME!:)
