Time to Start Getting Into Shape

Ok...lets be clear here...

I am in no way ready to start canyoneering. I really feel like I need to do some serious exercise and weight loss before starting out.

Tomorrow starts a new way of life.

I currently weigh 212 pounds that is approximately 50 pounds more than my ideal should be. Safe weight loss is approximately 2 pounds per week, so my 8 week goal is to lose 16 pounds and drop to 196.

So over the next 8 weeks, I will be doing the following:

* Exercising a minimum of 30 minutes every day

* Make more healthful choices for food

* Eat 6 times per day (3 snacks and 3 meals)

* Keep caloric intake down to 1800 calories per day

* Drink a minimum of 100 ounces of water per day

* Cut soda intake to one per day

By doing these basic things, I will have a great chance of hitting my first 8 week goal. Future blogs will tell you what specific exercises and foods I am choosing.

Wish me luck!
