Okay, just so you chicks don't think you can have this all to yourselves, I'm in.
Goal #1 - Enjoy Christmas and the remainder of 2008
Goal #2 - Lose flab. It's the holiday season, so not gaining weight is important. Thanksgiving was a success, so I can do it again with Christmas, New Year's, and all the parties leading up.
I think 8lbs of fat lost will be a good start, but who really knows? The legacy of
formerly fat is hanging around my waist, sides, and belly. I've got a bit of abs showing, and I hope to show them more by the end of the month.
Goal #3 - This one leads back to #s 1 and 2... Enjoy food without needing to enjoy more and more of it. I've noticed a trend that reminds me of my fathood. I seem to be addicted to the feeling of being full. If I eat small meals, I do okay, knowing that another small meal is coming soon. But, a big meal meant to last me a long time makes me pretty full, and even full, I WANT TO EAT MORE. I'm fully, so that's stupid. It's not carbs, it's food. I've tested it with meat and veggies.
My goals are simple, so my rules are simple.
Intermittent Fasting (IF) on weekdays. 2 meals on non-workout days, 3 on workout days.
Eat light on the weekends. It's hard to IF on days when I'm feeding my kids dozens of times a day (seems like dozens, anyway).
1500-2000 calories, depending on what's what that day.
Daily walks
2-4 weight workouts a week
Always a weight workout the day of a party or holiday meal/event.
No intervals
No HIIT
I'll try to take/post some pics later on.
