Welcome to my weight loss blog. Why are we here? I want to record my weight loss journey. I want to be able to look back at my accomplishments over the next 12 weeks; to see where I've been and how far I've come and how far I still have to go. I don't know why you are here, but you are welcome to come along for the ride.
I joined Horizon Personal Training in Southington and tonight was my first visits. I met with Joe and before my first cardio workout he took my all important numbers; weight and body fat percentage: 268 lbs and 43.3% bod fat. If that isn't enough to scare me into losing weight, I don't know what would.
We continued the evening with the nutritional consult. The rules are fairly simple there is a list of foods sorted by category: protein, carbohydrate and vegetables. I need to eat 5-6 small meals a day, every 2-3 hours. Each meal needs to have an equal amount of protein and carbs. At least two meals must include vegetables and you can eat vegetables whenever you are hungry. They also recommmend using meal reaplcement shakes and bars so Joe gave me three to try warning me that I probably wouldn't like them.
Finally it was time to step on the treadmill. The cardio workout is a 20 minutes of interval training. After a 2 minute warm-up you go through 3 six minute interval cycles with the speed increasing every minute through the six minutes before going back down to start the next interval cycle. In 20 minutes I went 1.14 miles on the treadmill. Another base line number I hope to see improving.
