Hi!
I am a 20 year old girl living in Australia, and I started my new healthy eating/exercise plan on Wednesday 26 August 2009. My weight has gone up and down over the years, my lowest was 54kg about a year and a half ago, I got down from 63kg. Ever since then my weight has slowly been creeping up, but really the past year since I have moved out of home. I have been eating WAY too much fast food, chocolate, chips, lollies. I love curries And have been exercising very rarely.
So below are my current stats, and my goals
Current Weight: 60kg
Goal Weight: 55kg
Time Frame: I would like to be as close as to my goal weight by 10/10/2009. The 7th is my 21st birthday and i would love to be looking great for my party that weekend! But the aim is to LOOK GOOD, rather than to lose the weight. Weight is just a good indicator of how I am going
Height: 170cm
BMR: Approx 1400
Maintenance: Approx 1750
Because my maintenance is 1750 I have chosen to stick to a calorie range of 1100-1300 and have a higher calorie day every so often.
I joined a gym last week and plan on going there every day. This might seem ambitious but I am a student who currently only has class 1 x per week, with no part time job I have a LOT of spare time. My boyfriend is in the same situation, so we're doing this together.
At the gym I want to do at least 40 minutes of cardio, and a resistance training routine 3 x per week.
I am trying to build up my running fitness, so I have been doing some 4km runs which have been really making me sweat and hurt (in a good way) so I think I will stick to running.
I am tracking all my calories with calorieking, and then recording it onto an excel spreadsheet with my weight for the day! (I like to weigh every day just to keep track, it just keeps me going).
Every couple of days i'll come back and record everything for the last couple of days. I've got to note that I have ceased using the pill, so I have noticed a decrease in appetite (a big decrease) so my calories are a bit low. But I do not believe in eating JUST because it doesn't look right on paper, my body will tell me if I need to eat more.
Thanks for reading!
