3-1-2013: Fitness Goals for the New Month

It's March already and it is practically the start of summer.  I have decided to take the day off to rest and evaluate my fitness goals for the month.  Sine I have established a fairly good routine, I felt that it is time to work on specific goals.  For this month, it is also about losing weight. I have proven to myself that I can exercise for around 3 hours and I have been diligently going to the gym for months already.  I am ready to really give another serious shot to losing weight.

Weight Goal on March 31, 2013: 87.5 Kilos (192.5 lbs)

Exercise Plan:

I will focus on cardio exercises.  The classes that I can join in will be BoyJam, BodyCombat, Sh'Bam, Zumba, HardCore. I will limit BodyPump to maximum of once a week. I will start running again. My run routine will be 15 minutes of intervals.  Rotex and Bike are also possible exercises.  For weights, my cycle will be 40 X 12. I will minimize lifting heavy weights.  I may join fun runs. I could target 5k by March 16 and 6k on March 24. I could also do double gym sessions on some days probably T-Th.

Diet Plan:

For March, I will be making most of my meals.  As much as possible, I will be the one who will make my own food because if keep on eating outside, I could end up eating more than allowed.  For sure, I can also eat out sometimes but it should not be everyday. I could retain my sandwich breakfast but I will be including veggies like lettuce and tomatoes to my sandwich.  I could have some nuts or nuttela for snacks. For lunch, it can be sandwich again as I bought some chicken ham. Dinner will be my lightest meal as I will probably just be eating cereal for most of the days. I will try to avoid eating rice the whole month. I will check if indeed rice is a counter weight loss item.

Supplementation and Rehydration:

Ripped Fuel Extreme will be taken at the meal before working out.  I will take a tab before most breakfasts and probably some dinners. Amino Chewables will be taken before sleeping everyday.  It could be 2 tabs on heavy workout days.  Endurance Fuel will be mixed with Gatorade or Powerade for my drinks.  I am not so concerned flavor so most of my drinks a bit diluted.


My bottom line this month is really just about my weight.  I really want to go way below 200 lbs for me to take on higher goals like strength and muscle building. I want to lose a lot of weight because I want to do longer runs and to focus next on functional fitness. For the past few months, it has been mix and match, and I realized that it is sometimes better to just focus one goal first. Hopefully, I will hit my targets for the month and really start to get fit in the summer season of 2013.
