Alright, here is the part I dread. but maybe if I post my fat pictures it will motivate me more!
I even edited them to show you just what I'm gonna do!
As you can see I have some work to do!
This is me checking in at 200.2 lbs.
Yep. That is THE MOST I have ever weighed ever in my life!
I have gained 20 lbs since I got home from my mission in September 2011.
What the heck!?! So frustrating. But I did it to myself! Now I need to fix it.
A nice side view for you. Yep, gonna do everything I said in this picture. How you ask?
Training for a 1/2 marathon:
4 days of running per week
Strength training and walks in between!
And my least favorite...
Yuck! You don't ever really see what your back side looks like, and its probably a good thing!
On top of making sure I get my exercise, I also need to revamp my diet.
I am NOT going to go extreme, but I do need to eat healthier.
I haven't totally made a diet plan yet, but in general:
Breakfast options: 200-300 cal
(an hour before I workout)
yogurt, fruit, and toast or bagel
whole grain cereal w/ milk
scrambled eggs with veggies
smoothie with toast/bagel
(basically anything breakfastee protein and carbs)
Morning Snack: 150-200 cal
(usually after a workout)
fruit w/ peanut butter
cottage cheese w/ fruit or veggies
string cheese & green veggies
nuts & dark chocolate/dried fruit
Chocolate milk (reduced fat) & banana
Lunch: 300-400 cal
1/2 tuna sandwich
1/2 pb&j sandwich
strawberry chicken spinach salad
lean burrito w/ salsa
healthy whole grain nachos
homemade pita pizza w/veggies
(carbs, protein, and veggies/fruit)
Afternoon Snack: 100-200 cal
(choice of previous snacks or:)
granola bar & fruit
yogurt with berries
smoothie
veggie sticks & hummus
whole wheat chips & salsa
Dinner: 400-500 cal
Anything, just keep portion control decently healthy!
Preferably lean meat, veggies, whole grain, and fruit.
Desserts: no more than 100 cal
(this will be my hard spot!)
1 small chocolate/hard candy a day or a very healthy fruity dessert!
Chew lots of gum to keep me away from sweets!
Total daily calories: 1200-1600
I will stick to this program 6 days a week.
The other day, probably sunday, will be my free day where I will still try to eat healthy but I can allow my mom's rolls and a good dessert! :)
And it is the ultimate day of rest for my body too!
I am excited and it is going to take some serious
motivation, persistence, and discipline.
I am going to keep this all updated as best as I can.
I can do this!
