Meet the New Year; same as the Old Year.
It’s been nearly 2 months since I have actively pursued my weight-loss and fitness goals, and when I stepped on my scales this morning, I saw the destruction I had wrought. My weight has returned to the same place it was at the beginning of last year - 190lbs!
So, is now the time to get depressed and introspective? Hell no! No regrets in partaking of Holiday goodness. Instead, it’s time to kick in the New Year with some Resolutions!
Three of my resolutions I twittered today had to do with fitness:
- To complete P90x, starting today! Got to look fit and fine for @streamyawards!
- Get back into running, with the goal of running a 5k by midyear.
- Upon success of training, do a shoot (bare-chested?) with @vubui & @lanbui.
With those goals in mind, here is how I am going to “get it done”.
- As stated above, I am going to try out P90x! It will be challenging, but I am in a mood for hard-headed challenge.
- Likewise, I will get back into running. Or rather walking to build up my leg strength and check out my knee. If in 4 weeks I can’t do a 1 minute runs with 2 minute walks, I am going to see a physiotherapist.
- In bed by 11pm! Sleep is the biggest thing I failed on last year, and everything else was a domino that crashed after it.
- And finally food log and watching what I eat. I ate somewhat badly when I was doing this. I ate REALLY badly when I wasn’t.
Instead of the trickly posts here and there, I will try to do one post per evening to get it all in.
So, my starting stats:
- Weight: 190lbs.
- Body fat Percentage (according to Accu-Measure calipers): 25.2%
- Daily Calorie Goal (according to Livestrong.com): 2302.
Wish me luck!
