The plan--take 2

Big Start date:  1-08-12

I have a weight goal in mind of 187.9, or less than 188.  The idea is to average 190, so that implies swinging 188-192.  

The Plan...

1- Alcohol sabbatical until we hit the weight goal.  No free days....just save up the desire and channel it into exercise and nutrition, etc.

2- Daily food  / exercise log.  Still trying to decide between LoseIt, or My Fitness Pal.  Pros and cons?  MFP has more “moral support” with Govy and Jr.  LoseIt, of course, is familiar and now can scan.  Anyway....might do both and decide later.  Keep a word doc style journal as you go...just to stay motivated.

3- Morning exercise....Starting Monday the 9th....getting up early...that’s why we are starting on Sunday before.  Big workout, but then bed EARLY!  Then Gazelle before work.  30 mins in the zone.  And the idea is workouts in the morning before work.  I won’t be up late with drinking, so just go to bed.  Observe the changes in my body without the dehydration and extra calories that booze causes.

4- Listen / read Younger Next Year every day until I hit the weight goal.  The morning workout is a great time, but the trip to work is good also.  Just during Ticket commercial breaks would easily do the job.  15-20 mins?  

5- 100 oz of water every day.  More with exercise.

6- Multivitimin.  Every day.  Let’s get through all the Pharmanex ones even though they are past expiration.

7- Meal substitues.  Shakes, Slim Fast, whatever.  Need them at the office and at home.
