1- Stay on track...lol
I wear a go-wear fit armband. It measures the calories I burn,cal consumed ( I enter this) , cal balance, the # of steps,my activity levels, sleep duration and weight.
You can set daily goals on it.
My daily goals are:
burn 2500
consume 1000-
bal -1500
steps 15000
Activity 20m vigorous 90 min moderate.
Should not be that hard right??? well I have not met all the goals very many times.
So a perfect day would be one in which I hit these.
Thats what I am working towards.
I have at the moment forgone any formal program.. Many reason for that but I shall keep this to a blog not a book.
I am following Shawn Phillips HIIT and am on Wk 2. This is my minimums for the week. I find that following his program is simple and once I am done add a few more minutes here and there.
I carry my arm band tracker with me now when I am in the gym. Today when I realized I had done 12 min of Vig activity I decided to get it done. It meant I stayed an extra 15 min on the treadmill and burned an extra 75 cal. Small goals can be big motivators, for me at least.
I have come to realize I just need to do something everyday. My goal was always to lose the weight and get back in shape. It was never to become a BB or figure contestant. I do not need those types of programs.
Adding a few days of lifting will give anyone plenty of muscle def and a healthy body.
Ahh so my final goal is to have a BF range of less than 18% which means a goal weight of roughly less 30 lbs..And to accomplish by the time I hit New York July 21.

i like this post. i feel the same way. i want to get to 18% BF as well. i just want to look good and feel good. what is the shawn phillips HIIT. I'm curious. there is an HIIT i read about a couple years ago where you just make sure the first 10-15 minutes of your cardio are HIIT and then the rest of your session however long you choose it to be is SSC. I like that; the best of both worlds.
