Starting Up!

Well Hello!
Its been 10 days since the wedding!! Most everything is back to normal...school, work, etc. Now that my schedule has slowed waaaaay down I have decided to start a fitness regimen to get back into tip top shape! So in this blog we will follow my progress including my workouts and diet choices. The goal of this diet is definatly not to lose any weight, but to get toned and improve my fitness level. All my workouts will take place in the gym in my apartment building, nothing fancy. So goals...

Goal #1: Tone thighs, butt, and upper arms.
Goal #2: Build abs and eliminate the small love handles I have.
Goal #3: Increase my cardio length weekly.
Goal #4: Incorporate protein into my daily diet.
Goal #5: Lower my daily carb intake.
Goal #6: Increase my daily water intake to 8-8oz. servings.
Goal #7: Practice nightly relaxation methods: meditation, prayer, or yoga positions.
Goal #8: Decrease sugar intake and find alternate healthy options to satisfy my sweet tooth.
Goal #9: Lower my body fat percentage and replace fat with muscle.
Goal #10: Read! I want to start reading leisurly, not just text books.

I will also take my weight daily, and I will try to do it around the same time. My super cool scale measures my weight and body fat percentage so I will list both.

My routine will consist of daily workouts that will change both daily and weekly. I will exersice 5 days a week and take off weekends. My cardio will slowly increase each week and I will work my goal areas each day of the week. All my cardio will be done either on the stationary bike or the eliptical machine. Treadmills are too hard on my legs.

I have not worked out in a very very very long time so I am going to move into this slowly but surely. This weeks routine will be as follows:
Tuesday- 10 mins cardio & 15 min arms using light weights
Wednesday-10 mins cardio & 15 min leg work
Thursday- 10 min cardio & 15 min abs
Friday-10 min cardio & 15 min butt work

I will take my weight first thing in the morning & post!
Good Night :)
