I've set myself a challenge to lose 10lbs in 13 weeks and lose about 3inches all over. Today is day one and here is my workout goals for today!

Gym based workout:

10 min cross trainer warm up followed by 30 minutes weights training ( broken into 15 x 3 reps on each target area )

20 minute swim (non stop lengths)


Evening home workout:

15 minutes skipping (done 1 hour after eating) whilst watching tv!




Meals so far have been:

Yoghurt (low fat bio), banana and green tea for breakfast

Reduced salt tomato soup (one cup) with 1 1/2 slice of wholemeal bread and a glass of water

Diner will be chicken adobo (this is a philipino dish consisting of reduced salt soy sauce, white wine vinegar, bay leaves, garlic and peppercorns) with brown rice

For snacks I usually have a banana to help my sweet cravings or a handful of dried peaches or strawberries



Any constructive criticism is welcome :)

I'm a firm believer that you should ALWAYS use a combined exercise plan with your diet to achieve weight loss goals. Even if it's just 15 minutes a day :)
