Day 88

Monthly weigh in went o.k.

2 pounds which means I’m one pound from my first fitness goal (oh frustrating but it will just make me work harder.) My fitness goals for the next few weeks are to record in my food diary everyday, no matter what. Increase the amount of cardio and decrease the amount of chocolate I’ve been eating. Finally, get more sleep. I’m starting my week sleep regimen this week. This article talks about that you can’t expect to lose dozens of pounds in 2 weeks (it’s unrealistic but I can’t help thinking how unfair life is.

Strength Training

This is a really good article on the basics of strength training and a sample routine. I strength train 4 times a week now (usually for about 20 minutes but Friday I did almost an hour– I’m working towards a “boy” pushup.)

Exercise while on vacation or business travel

Since many of you are going to be traveling in the next few weeks (or at least going on vacation in a couple of months) here are some tips to stay healthy and not get too far of the exercise path. With the film festival coming up, I’ll have to squeeze in some kind of cardio or do longer workouts on my days off. I will try stick to around 1500 calories a day and carry snacks. I can go very long periods without eating – not so good. Also, in this vein, I have a jump rope that I’m giving away if any of you would like it.
