My Workout Plan/Goals


 


I have talked a bit over the last few weeks about my

weight upsetting me, how I want to workout etc. I thought

I would go more in depth and maybe I can motivate someone.


Firstly I am totally changing my diet around again, since

Covid I have been on a roller coaster ride, eating good,

not eating good, working out, not working out. I mentioned the

total amount of weight I have gained in 3 years and I am

totally disgusted with myself.


I am doing away with carbs BUT not good carbs, your

body needs carbs to help fuel it. So what are some

good carbs you may ask?


Veggies; all of them, eat a variety every day.


Whole fruits; apples, bananas, strawberries etc.


Legumes (which I don't like myself); lentils, kidney beans, peas etc.


Nuts; almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, peanuts etc.


Seeds; chia seeds, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds.


Whole grains; you want truly whole as in pure oats,

quinoa and brown rice.


Lastly; sweet potatoes


Now I am moving onto the meditranian diet;

The mediterranean diet consists of healthy carbs, evoo

as your primary fat source, dairy products, eggs, fish and poultry.

I will still have red meat but on occasion not as often as I do now.


Intermediate Fasting; I was doing a 16:8 but I don’t think

that is long enough for my body as I kinda already do

that but it would be dirty fast. So I am going to amp

up my time to a 19-20 hour fast which means I will

have a 4-5 hour eating window. My first meal will always

be a protein shake, I need the protein A. since I had

the weight loss surgery and B. since I am going to be

exercising more than I have been used to. 


How am I going to workout? That is a good one, my goal

is to do a 30 minute video workout every morning, whether

it be cardio, barre, yoga etc. When CJ is done with school work

we will head to the gym, I belong to Planet Fitness, I will hit

the 30 minute workout area, I will then do my cardio,

I am not sure how long I will last on the arc trainers

as I have not done it in months, my goal is to get to

45 minutes. I will do core workouts after cardio, everyday!

At night weather permitting I am going to do at least a mile walk.


What to do for your last meal when you are doing IF?

You of course get hungry at night, I don’t want anything

heavy weighing on my stomach before bed and I want

something healthy so I have already chosen a tomato

sliced up with a bit of pepper and basil and 1 cheese stick.


There are days my plans may not workout accordingly

and I will have to get over that, my main goal is the gym

3-5 times a week. Once I lose my weight I will work on

maintaining a healthy weight and lifestyle.


If you happen to have any questions in regard to my

plans or goals or want help getting started with

your own please ask!
