Month 23 Goals: November 08

Weight Loss and Fitness Goals:

Starting Weight: Jan. 1, 2007 – 278 lbs
Starting Weight: Jan. 1, 2008  – 193 lbs
Starting Weight  Nov. 1, 2008 – 162.2 lbs
YR 2 Q4 Weight Goal: 150 (20 lb loss) (revised from original 2008 goals)
Weight loss goal for month: 7 lbs (155)
Weight loss goal per week: 1.8 lbs

November Exercise Goals:

  • Cardio/walking or biking 5 times/wk  (probably more walking than biking as weather gets cooler)
  • Strength Training 3 times/wk – upper body
  • Strength Training 3 times/wk – lower body
  • Abs 5 times/wk (8 Minute Abs Dvd)
  • Pilates 3 times/wk – (video)

November Food/Nutrition Goals:

  • Get back on track with calorie counting (cycling and low days/wks)
  • I’m doing a 30 day challenge for month of Nov – no eating past 9:30 PM. This seems to be a large part of my struggle and where I tend to consume additional calories – the rest of the day I am fine!  I figure having this boundary may help to get be back on track with this.
  • Finally feel that I am making some traction getting the lbs off that I had gained while traveling but it has not necessarily been easy! 😉
