Exercise Plan for Next Week (Week 3 of Plan)

Here is my exercise plan for Week 3:

Monday: 1 hour of cardio (30 minutes internal training treadmill, 25 minutes elliptical, 5 minutes rowing machine), 5 minutes core exercises  OR Training Session with Personal Trainer)

Tuesday: 30-45 minutes cardio (Will try to attend a spinning class), 10 sets upper body weights, 5 minutes core exercises

Wednesday: 50 minutes cardio (45 elliptical, 5 rowing machine), 10 sets lower body weights, 5 minutes core

Thursday:  Day Off or 1 hour cardio

Friday: Training Session with Personal Trainer

Saturday/Sunday:  Combination of 1 hour yoga video and two hours low-impact cardio (might modify depending on weather and availability of a swimming pool)

Plus: Walk to or from work at least twice (3.2 miles).

11 Days (4 on South Beach)

My Stats

Beginning Weight: 254 lbs, body fat unknown (did not have the wonderful Tanita Scale at that time)

End of Week 1: 252.8 lbs (loss of 1.2 lbs); 51.5% body fat  

After 4 days of SBD: 248.8 lbs, 50% body fat.

Total lost since April 20: 5.2 lbs, 1.5% body fat

I am trying to figure out how to have a separate link for stats — does anyone know how to do that?   I would like to track my weight, measurements, and body fat percentage in a separate link and I am extremely unsavvy with tech stuff.

End of the month

Things are still going well.   Eating is still on track.   I am starting to get a little bored with food after only four days, but so be it.  This morning I had the most vivid fantasy about a mango smoothie.   

Exercise is also going well, helped by the fact that work has been very slow.   Today I did: 50 minutes on the elliptical, 16 sets of weights, 5 minutes core exercises.  Tomorrow I am having my weekly meeting with my personal trainer and will go on a walk outside with a friend after.   The hard part is going to be keeping this up when things get busy at work.  

A friend and I have decided to spend two weeks at Fitness Ridge, a boot camp/weight loss spa in July.   I can’t wait!
