Fitness

I am in the process of trying to lose a total of 30 pounds. I joined Weight Watchers online to help keep me on track and thus far I have loss 1.5 lbs in a matter of 11 days. I would like to lose about 2.5 lbs per week, so I should be down 3.5 more lbs by this Saturday. My fitness schedule has definitely changed to help me get this weight off quicker but I don't think that its as effective as I initially imagined it would be. Currently I workout in the mornings on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday... and on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday afternoons or evenings for at least one hour. My workout currently consist of mainly cardio, but I do try to incorporate weights on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Weight Watchers is a good program because it encourages consumption of more fruits and vegetables which I wasn't eating enough of prior to starting this program. In addition, my friend sent me a food schedule designed by her fitness coach and personal trainer. He discourages the consumption of fruits unless plans to workout or for moderate work have been made. He also discourages consumption of carbohydrates, sugars, and fruit 3 hours prior to be time. The plan suggest that I eat at least 5-6 small meals per day consisting of mainly fish, turkey and vegetables, although some carbs are okay for breakfast and lunch.

Hopefully, I will be able to incorporate all of these suggestions and put them into place so that I can reach my goal weight of 130 lbs. by July 1st. That is only 11 weeks away. Currently I am 5'5" and my weight is 157.6. That means I have 27.6 lbs to lose in 11 weeks. On average, that is 2.5 lbs per week. That means that I need to work extra, extra, extra hard to get this weight off.

Well, that's all for now.
