Oh My Soreness

Praise God we made it through the first week of working out (completed week 5 of fit2fat2fit).  Overall I'm feeling pretty good.  Even though I've done these workouts before, they were a lot harder than I thought they would be because I didn't realize just how out of shape I've become from just a few months of not working out.  And did I mention oh my soreness?   Haha

Tomorrow's my first weigh-in.  Even though I started this past Monday and it's only been 5 days, I wanted to get in the habit of weighing in on Saturday mornings.  Knowing my body and from past experience, I'd be surprised if I lost less than 5-6 pounds tomorrow, with most of it being loss of water weight from dropping my carbohydrate and sodium intake.  So my goal is to weigh 225 or less.   

As for the remainder of the plan, my goal is to lose 2-4 pounds per week or about 10-12 pounds per month.   Breaking it down even further here's the dates and my goal weight that I plan to achieve.  Remember, fail to plan, plan to fail.  My plan is to succeed.  

June 27--225, 25% body fat

August 1--215, 21% body fat

September 5--205, 18% body fat

October 3--195, 15% body fat

And hopefully happy 40th birthday to me with a goal weight of 185 and 12% body fat or less, on Friday November 6th.

One more thing I realized, this blog is titled "forever fit by 40."  So the thought came to me this week that I need to set more goals after my birthday.  Otherwise, I'd be failing to plan.  So I'll be keeping that in mind leading up to it.  

Well, that's about it for today.  So now we wait for tomorrow's weigh-in...
