Food Fight

I am not overweight, and I know all girls think that they need to lose weight, but still. I want to lose some weight. I joined a gym almost a year ago when I weighed 147lbs. That was after me losing almost 15lbs over more than 6 months. For the next 6 months, I ranged between 143lbs and 148lbs, slowly building lean body mass and improving my overall strength and endurance by going to the gym, and I got my body fat percentage to about 21%.

Then I switch to being mostly vegetarian, spending more time eating and drinking, and started slacking at going to the gym. So as a result, I have gained about 10 pounds since March. I am now at 156lbs. I know that isn’t muscle gain.

My goal is to get back to around 143lbs by Thanksgiving. A big feast seems like a good target. I seem to have pretty good luck accomplishing goals that I blog about, so I figured I should write about this goal.

My plan is to go back to going to the gym four days a week, no excuses. Also, I am going to get back into lifting weights, which I haven’t don’t consistently for months. As for food, I am going to target 1200 calories a day starting tomorrow. I haven’t decided if I am going to introduce meat back into my diet. I might start eating some turkey and fish again. We’ll see. I also plan on periodically updating this blog with my progress, along with sample menus of what I am eating and workouts.

Here goes nothing! Now I am off to the gym!
