Two months to get into two size smaller bikini

[sofia1631]

Hello

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what I am currently doing. I have always been active, but still have those last 10 lbs of fat that just don't seem to come off, so this week I began a heftier workout regime and diet. i am 5' 81/2 medium bone structure and currently weigh in at 142 lbs. I would like to be 132 ideally. Here is what I am doing:

Workouts:
Cardio 5 days a week 45 minutes in the morning
weights 3 days a week-sometimes the same day as the cardio
taking a CORE abs and back class 45 minutes on Sunday and 30 minutes on Tuesdays
One day a week longer run/walk (about 1.5 hour)

Eating:

I am not counting calories, but I am basically eating 2 servings of protein, 3 starches (try to stick with all whole grain, example 1 piece whole wheat bread=1 startch) 3 veggies, 3 fruits, one dairy one fat and two small snacks (like a myoplex bar) I also drink 64-70 oz water and limit any diet soda.

I do all of these things 6 days a week, then on Sunday I can eat whatever I want (within reason)!

I really want to be able to just get into this smaller size bikini and really lose fat, whiole mainiting muscle, and I am confused on how the best way is to do that. it seems like there are a lot of opinions. If anyone sees flaws or has suggestions to my plan, please let me know! Thank you-Sofia

It looks a good starting point and should work. Dont be affraid to lift heavy weights. how are you splitting your meals, 3 meals a day? 4, 5?


Good luck

three egg whites
1 piece whole wheat toast
1 2% piece cheese

Lunch:

Large salad 1 egg
2TBSP light dressing

Snack
apple

Dinner:
1 cup whole wheat pasta
8 large shrimp
veggies mixed

1 glass wine

Looks good. You can get your goal. Remember a lot of what you lose at first will be water weight so if your gains slow down dont panic. Keep working hard.


Was it just one glass of wine? come on, you can tell me

Wine!!

Haha!!

It was a FULL glass, probably 8-10 ounces!! Mondays are tough with the work schedule and getting back into things gotta have the wine, and I have heard a glass of red is not too bad, I usually use that to take the place of a fruit serving or two.

Im kidding. Dont cut everything out you enjoy or you wont succeed. A little bit of what you fancy will keep you on track. Let us know how you get on Sofia

I get hungry just looking at this. It doesn't look like enough food (in my opinion). Do you have any idea how many calories you are consuming in a day?
