Hey guys!
It's been far too long I know!
I wonder if you guys can help me out with this... Not sure why I feel most comfortable asking these questions here of all places, but where you have friends, you can ask anything, right?
I'm going to be frank. I want to lose 150LBS! I am not sure if it is realistic to set a date for that, but I have grand hopes that by January 1, 2012... or at least by my 30th birthday on August 27th, 2012.
I want a whole new me! I want a whole new wardrobe that actually looks NICE! I need some good fat-burning exercises or workout DVDs that I can pick up, and some great diet advice.
Here's my plan so far, and you guys can tell me what you think:
Diet-wise, I am going to eat less (duh, that's a given...) but I'm not going to deny myself anything... if I want a Cadbury creme egg... I'll have one... but only one, if that helps at all. *sigh* This way, I'm not miserable and craving something I know I can't have. I also plan on including more FIBER, VEGGIES, and PROTEIN in my diet. Let's face it, I honestly tend to neglect those particular things in my "normal" way of eating. I know that's not good. I also plan to go out less to restaurants. I don't eat much fast food, but when I do I have been opting for the "healthier" options (chicken wraps from McDonald's are good and probably healthier than their burgers).
For exercise, I'm thinking 2hrs a day, at least, 7 days a week. I'm going to get myself The Complete Sweatin' To The Oldies Collection (to me, there's nothing more motivating or fun than Richard Simmons, but I'm open for other suggestions), along with Sweatin' 5, and the stuff he does w the 80s music. I read one review for one of the 80s workout DVDs, saying that by doing that workout every day for 3 weeks they'd already lost 7lbs! Another DVD review (for a different 80s workout DVD) said that they lost 7lbs in 2 months! So I definitely want to try my hand at those.
Well guys, I'm open for advice, encouragement, questions etc.
