My goals:
- Reach a weight between 125 and 128 pounds
- Reach a BMI below 22
- Reduce my waist size to 28 inches
- Reduce my hip size to 39 inches
- Obtain a waist-to-hip ratio of under .75
I'd like to reach these goals by the end of June, 6 months from now.
How I'm going to reach these goals:
- Make choices to move more often. I work as an analyst and spend my day in front of the computer. Work has been very busy lately so I often sit for very long stretches of time. I need to remember to get up and move around the office during the day.
- Make choices to eat food that is healthy for me and fuels my body properly. I need to plan ahead and bring food that is already prepared that is good for me. Too often I'm in such a rush that I don't make or bring the right foods with me to work and end up eating whatever I can get quickly.
- Exercise 6 days per week. It doesn't matter which days and I'm not training for a marathon. But I need to get some form of aerobic exercise for at least 30 minutes 6 days every week. I also need to do strength training for at least 20 minutes 3 days per week.
- I have several exercise DVDs that I can use to help out.
- I love to walk and frequently do during lunch.
- I have all kinds of exercise equipment in the house.
- I have a subscription to Women's Health and can use the monthly exercise section to shake things up.
- I've got a Wii that can be especially helpful during the cold winter months when it can be harder to get outside during the day.
- I'm considering using a program called myfitnessbuddy on my Android phone to help with tracking food and exercise. If I go that route I'll be sure to post a review.
So those are the goals and the plan. I'll post updated measurements every Sunday to let you know how I'm doing following my charted course to better health and fitness.
