#91 Reach goal weight of 175 (In progress)

 Making a Sexier Brett

Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will. -Mahatma Gandhi

Hello again, today I want to introduce everyone to my plan to accomplish my goal weight of 175 pounds. The reason I chose 175 is because according to the body mass index calculator it is the ideal healthy weight for a male of my age and height. There are 6 components to my work out plan, they are as followed: 

1) Hitting the gym
2) Working out by having fun through sports 
3) Boosting my process by starting off with a cleanse
4) Technology support
5) Fitness testing
6) Following the skinny rules

ps, (I did start this prior to the summer, and have gotten a bit off track, seems like a good time to get back into the swing of things)

Step 1: Hitting the gym
The work I am doing at the gym will consist mostly of cardio (spin) and stretching (yoga), I will also be taking place in TRX class to build strength and mussel.  I plan to increase my gym involvement as the months go on.

Step 2: Working out by having fun through sports
As always, getting my cardio through sports has been the main way i have kept the pounds off; I plan to continue this through the summer. On Mondays I will be taking part in both men soccer and v-ball and on Saturdays i will be playing co-ed soccer.

Step 3: Boosting my process by starting off with a cleanse
The cleanse I have chosen is First Cleanse, it last 15 days and is a very light cleanse, but will work wonders for my eating habits. It is very simple to complete, as the rules are very simple, such as: take 10 glasses of water a day, for meats only turkey fish and chicken, lots of vegetables and fruits, only whole grains, and no dairy. (SIMPLE!)

Step 4: Technology support
I will also be using this wonderful app I found called My Fitness. How it works is simple, you just type in what you had that day and it lets you know how many calories it was you ate. In order to loose 2 pounds a week it tells you the set amount of calories you can have each day, thus making sure i get the right amount of nourishment without over eating. The great thing about it, is that it takes into consideration the physical activity you do in a day, and adjust your calorie intake accordingly.

Step 5: Fitness Testing
I can't speak to much to fitness testing at this point, as it play a big factor in another one of my goals...keep your eyes out for it!

Step 6: Following the skinny rules
the skinny rules are:
Rule #1) Drink a large glass of water before every meal
Rule #2) Don't drink your calories
Rule #3) Don't be fooled by food labels
Rule #4) Eat a real breakfast
Rule #5) Have one cheat meal a week
Rule #6) snack on apples or berries
Rule #7) Have protein in every meal
Rule #8) Don't guess about portion sizes
Rule #9) Go to bed hungry
Rule #10) Set yourself up for success

Anyways that's the tentative plan at this point, I also plan to weigh myself weekly, I will let you know when I get to where I want to be.
