My Plan

Hey Guys,


Kevin and I worked out a eating plan this past weekend. We are trying it for the rest of October and plan to stick to it "religiously" in Nov (right Kevin...lol). The plan is just a guideline that came from the blogspot Kevin posted in his last entry. There are seven key guidelines. For the next 30 days (for me that will begin Nov 1):

1) No white bread or anything made with enriched flour or processed flour (I'm guessing this includes rice and potatoes);

2) Greatly reduce dairy intake...for some that will mean no dairy at all;

3) No carbonated beverages...not even DIET sodas. I'm not sure it includes club soda, but that will be an individual call;

4) Water and tea only! For those that are coffee drinkers, 1 cup a day.

5) Vegetables at 2 meals per day, fruit at 1 meal;

6) Protein sources: Nuts, beans, fish, turkey and chicken...NO RED MEAT (just for 30 days)...for me this may be my biggest problem, because I already have food from Nutrisystem that has some red meat. Either way, I will not add any red meat outside of my NS foods which I have already paid for and have no intention of wasting. (there I said it! lol)

7) For the first 2 weeks of this plan, write EVERYTHING down.

This seems like a great challenge that I feel ready to tackle. I invite anyone to join us in this.

Kevin and my workout plans are different, so I will let him tell you about his. Mine is to workout 5-6 days a week (1 rest day per week). Here's the basic guideline:


Day 1: 30 mins. cardio, 30 mins. stretch

Day 2: 30 mins. cardio, 30 mins. upper body toning

Day 3: 30-60 mins lower body toning

Day 4: Rest

Day 5: Total body toning

Day 6: 45 - 60 mins. cardio

Day 7: 30 mins. cardio, 30 mins. upper body toning.


This amounts to basically 4 cardios/week, 3 upper body toning/week, 2 lower/body toning/week and one extra stretch session/week.

I invite all to join me for November!
