diet, and keeping me on track
I am going to kick this into overdrive after NDK (because I know I will NOT be eating healthy that weekend).
My Goal: Lose at least 30 lbs by Christmas. This gives me about 8.5 lbs to lose a month between now and then.
The plan: Kicking it off with a month of low-carb, low-fat, high-protein dieting. This won;t be as difficult as it would seem since it keeps me from eating bread, which I suck at avoiding shouldn't be eating anyway. And I have about three months worth of shake mix here at home. So, doing a shake for breakfast, one at lunch (maybe), and having a dinner that falls into the diet will not be difficult.
Additionally, I will be taking Alli. Yes, I read the horror stories, but, I feel I can meet the requirements of less than 15 grams of fat per meal easily when it is coupled with the diet above. Also, and it may be TMI, the side effects are no worse than what I already suffer when I am a bad celiac and have anything wheat. (You always wanted to know, didn't you?) However, abusing myself, while a cheaper alternative, is not wise because the gluten destroys my intestine, and Alli will not. I will not touch bread or anything with gluten during this month, unless I have a death wish.
I will get to the gym for at least 30 minutes every day when I come home from work. If my knee is going to bug me, I will go get a knee brace from the store. I need to also do strength training and work on toning my upper arms so I will be bingo wing free. I also hope that this will help once I start losing weight since I always end up having giganto arms even when I'm a hell of a lot lighter. I think it's part of the linebacker gene my dad seemingly passed on to me.
I will continue to keep up the gym routine indefinately. Even better is if my boss and I actually stop procrastinating and haul our asses downstairs to the gym each day like we keep talking about.
Your goal: to pester me and annoy me and make me follow through (the gym part, really, the fear of fucking up the diet and having my bowels erupt from my in an Alien style scene is not appealing). Can you do it? (be nice, I will ban you if you're an ass)
