Fitness Goals
I thought this would be a good time to get specific about the fitness goals I would like to achieve in the next 90-days. I am currently at my highest weight ever – although I am pleased to say that I have lost a few pounds over the last few days (although the majority of that is I’m sure water weight). I’m currently coming in at 193lbs – with a goal of losing 43 lbs in the next 90-days, and another 30 lbs by March 9th 2008. Here are a few before pictures:
Nutrition
It might seem hard to believe – but I love to workout. No really – I love it! Unfortunately – I also LOVE to eat. My biggest fear in this whole process is having to give up the things I love to eat. My favorite foods include things like Mozarella alla Capresse, Manicotti, CHOCOLATE, Thai Red Curry & Tom Kha Ga, Steak & Baked Potato, Ice Cream, & just about anything from Taco Bell. But what I want to see out of the next 90-days is results. And without a proper diet – all of my hard work and effort will not translate into the dramatic transformation that I am hoping for. So here’s a list of things I’m giving up:
Melted Cheese
Most Dairy (exceptions will be noted)
Fast Food
Ice Cream
Chocolate
Restaurant Foods
Products made with White Flour
Anything Fried
This list is just the start – and I’ll be adding more to it in the days and weeks ahead. I’ll be keeping a food diary at Tranieo and ask my motivators on that site to be sure I’m logging my food intake.
Bikram Yoga
I believe without a doubt that anyone who can make it through a Bikram Yoga class can go on to achieve anything they set out to do in life. That seems like a bold statement – but Bikram is TOUGH. First they heat the room to somewhere between 105 and 110 degrees. Then participants spend 90-minutes sweating through 27 postures. At the end of the class – every muscle in the body has been worked – and you’ve lost somewhere in the neighborhood of 2lbs of water weight. My advice is Bring a Big Towel – actually bring 2 – and be sure to purchase your water right before you go into your class (if you bring it from home be sure it’s half frozen – or it will be too warm to drink halfway through the class).
