| My Goal: |
My Goal.
A radiant healthy fit firm body - that smiles at me in the mirror - EVERYDAY!
How? NO MORE EXCUSES. JUST DO IIT!
FITNESS from better eating and EXERCISE!
These are the simple yet vital habits I am implementing TODAY to reach my goal.
• DRINKING 2L water EVERY day, ESPECIALLY THE WEEKENDS.
• ABSOLUTELY NO eating/drinking after 7 pm.
• LIMIT THE WHITE FOODS as much as possible. PORTION CONTROL!!! Fill up with nutrient dense calories - please!!!
• WINE - I love wine. I live in Argentina - Malbec is just part of the culture. How to incorporate this into my healthy fit life? First - I will be conscious not to quench thirst with wine. Always have a glass of water before wine. Second, to not drink my wine while I eat - it takes away my awareness. I will sip and savor my GLASS of wine after my meal. And the third - portion control - Enjoy my ONE glass of wine and BE HAPPY
• DAILY varied exercise. Cardio, strength and stretch. This is KEY to getting firm and fit! NOT OPTIONAL!!! Goal is to accumulate at least 210 minutes per week of exercise.
• And accountability to Peer Trainer – I will log food and exercise on a daily basis as well as report how I did with regards to water and wine consumption as well as track accumulated exercise during the week.
The Perks: I will feel good and reflect that inner satisfaction of taking care of myself.
RADIANCE IS WITHIN MY REACH!
To put a number on it - since I tend to be goal oriented - I will say the goal is to weigh 57kgs or 125 pounds by the end of May - that is to lose 1.5 kgs or 3 pounds. Since I plan on gaining some muscle weight along with that I've got my work cut out for me.

| About me: |
Small stuff every day. Consistency is key.
|
|
| Diets I like: |
The diet…. Nutrient density. Veggies! As much bang for my caloric buck as possible. The goal is for 80% of the time - no white, no wheat, no sweet and very little meat. And portion control for the other 20% - I enjoy pasta and pizza and bread, so the goal here is moderation.
|
|
| Workout of choice: |
Running Strength training - bodyweight, resistance bands JM videos - shred, yoga blast, nmtz, bfbym, want to get into blasting/bursting.
|
|
| My plan: |
My general rules to maintain. Mindful eating. No eating after 7pm. Watch the booze - total calorie killer!!!! Be consistent with my exercise. Keep logging - if I overdo the calories one day - be sure to make up for it by eating low the next day and get my workout in!!!!!!!! If I'm going to see changes - I MUST workout 3-4 times a week - not an option!!!

| I need the most help with: |
The challenge of the typical diet here in BA. Pasta, pizza, empanadas, pastries ...
And not obsessing over not having an ideal diet at this moment.
Motivation to exercise.

| Additional Info: |
December 5, 2009 - 147 lbs
April 19, 2010 - 123 lbs
March 22, 2011 - 128 lbs
April 16, 2012 - 129 lbs
Feb 21, 2012 - 130 lbs
As of April 19th, 2010 I reached my goal of losing 20 pounds. I was so thrilled - I don't remember ever weighing less than 130 pounds in my adult life. I felt great! I could hardly believe I had achieved this goal - and I did it reasonably - exercise, portion control and no eating after 7 at night. It worked for me! I learned so much about discipline and the importance of consistency.
Currently, I've gained a little - I stilll feel good - but I never want to be where I was in December 2009 again - so I've realized the need to really implement a lifestyle - not with a deadline - just to cultivate habits that I will do for the rest of my life. I would like to look good and feel good all the time - not just for special occasions.
