| About me: |
I'm 27 years old and after spending 6 years in university (studying English and Film) I'm struggling to find a career path that I'm passionate about. Currently I work at my alma mater in the English department as a Program Coordinator.
|
|
| Diets I like: |
Eating healthy, nutritious food while aiming for between 1200 and 1500 calories per day.
|
|
| Workout of choice: |
I can most often be found working out in my own basement - I have quite the collection of Jillian Michaels, Bob Harper, and Jackie Warner DVDs, and I'm pretty sure I own the entire Biggest Loser series to-date. I'm currently working my way through the P90X program, and I'm considering following that up with either P90X-2 or Jillian Michaels Body Revolution.
I've recently given kickboxing classes and hot yoga a try and I think I'm a convert to both - I plan on incorporating these into my regular 'routine' as often as I can.
If I find myself at the gym, I'll get in some time on the treadmill running interval sprints to improve my cardio endurance using Prevention's 2-Week Turnaround as a guide (www.prevention.com/twoweekturnaround), or I'll run a 5K aiming for a 25 - 30 minute finish.
I also like to make use of the dry sauna at my gym to sweat it out, not that this really counts as a workout...
|
|
| My plan: |
To get in at least 30 minutes of high intensity exercise daily - ideally with some supplementary cardio, in a perfect world - while also counting calories, aiming for my BMR.
|
|
| I need the most help with: |
Emotional binge eating and a crippling sugar addiction! I tend to turn to high-fat, sugary foods when I'm stressed, tired, or anxious. I'm battling this using the PeerTrainer-recommended hypnosis CDs which seem to really be helping: I can't even remember the last time I went through a major binge.
|
|
| Additional Info: |
I've been on and off PT over the last 5 years, and while I know that I have more success when I'm logging, it's become increasingly difficult to find a group that sticks and clicks.
