Amber's Workout Plan

Wednesday, November 30, 2011


Kanye's got nothing on an ambitious girl with some serious weight loss goals! I don't take this military girlfriend business lightly, having MJ go off for basic training really inspired me to hit the gym harder than ever. When he gets back for Christmas exit, his training doesn't stop and I want to be able to at least pretend like I'm keeping up!

With work, school, and maintaining something that resembles a social life, getting to the gym every single day is just unrealistic. Love it in theory, but it would probably kill me in practice. So I'm aiming to go at least 3-4 times a week, which isn't bad at all! In lieu of becoming a gym rat, I've been looking up other things that lead to weight loss and a healthier me, here's the plan:

1. All Water Everything- Yes, that even means that I, confessed coffee addict, am trading in that precious morning cup. All in the name of fitness.

2. 30 minutes of daily cardio- Just because I'm in not in the gym doesn't mean I can't get my cardio on from the comforts of my dorm. Walking to classes and meetings count for something too!

3. No Pasta or White Bread- I love bread; I come from a bread loving family. I doubt we are sitting down without some kind of fresh baked break on the table. And whenever we have pasta, it's accompanied by bread. This has to go!

4. No junk food- Trading in the chips that come with my greek wrap for carrot sticks shouldn't be that bad. But I'm bracing myself just in case!

Fitness isn't just a quick fad for quick results, it's a lifestyle! I have some short term goals that this plan is bound to help me complete; but my long term goals (overall health and positive well-being) require a lot less of the extremities. After I reach these short term goals, I still want to keep up the cardio, limit the junk food intake, and keep water as my beverage of choice. My number one goal is a happier, healthier me!
