Down to 200 lbs. by January 1, 2008!
Seems reasonable enough, I think it's about time I took control of my life.
Stats:
height - 5'7"
weight - 250 lbs.
body fat % - last time measured w/ a cheap caliper and got >30%, eek
waist - 42"
short term goal - lose 20 lbs this summer
long term goal - get to 200 lbs. by New Year's
I'm doing a typical cutting diet (chicken, brown rice, eggs, oats, veggies, etc.) but without the protein shakes or bars; I prefer substantial food. I may occasionally heat up a Kashi frozen meal. My workout will focus on strength training to build muscle but I will get cardio in as well. I am interning this summer at the NIH, and instead of taking the shuttle from the Metro stop to my building, and vice versa, I'll be walking. It's a good 15 minute walk each way, plus I figure I'll do some walking and try jogging in the gym during my workouts. Let me know if you guys have any suggestions. Here we go!
