Challenging Myself

When I first started this blog about 2 years ago, I had a very specific goal in mind: get in bikini shape for Put-in-Bay. I accomplished that goal, and stayed pretty true to my workout/diet regimen for several months afterward. Then, slowly but surely, I went right back to my old habits of enjoying far too many sweets, and not being as consistent with my workouts as I should have been. Well, it's time to change that. I have a new goal now: Jorge and Adrienne's wedding in San Juan, Puerto Rico on May 27. I'm currently at 157 lbs, and ideally, I'd like to get down to 140 again. So that's 17 lbs in 12 weeks...or about 1.5 lbs a week. Totally doable.

Here's the plan:
Each week, do 4 30-minute sessions of strength training, followed by 45 minutes of cardio
Less than 100 g of carbs each day
Way more fruits and veggies than I've been eating lately
Find a good protein supplement
Enjoy one cheat meal each week

Here goes nothing!
