Fat to Fit - Move it to lose it!



This week I have exercised every day, I have done morning workouts and / or going for a mountain bile ride. What are you doing to lose it?

Weight loss is all about what we put in and what we burn off. I am hoping to make a dint in the exercise I do.

It is recommended that you do at least 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical exercise on five or more days a week

Ideas to get you moving:
Walk for 5km or 45 minutes
Purchase a workout DVD from your local store
Start the couch to 5km program
Do interval training
Join a gym
Purchase an active game for your gaming console
Join a sport or fitness group

Keep a Fitness Diary:
Write down everything, form incidental to specific exercise routines. Track and note how you're feeling physically and emotionally and get inspired to work through your issues and toward your goals. 

WHAT I DID LAST WEEK:
  • 2 mountain bike rides totalling 18.8km (not my best I know). 
  • Eating more vegetables in dinner and lunches
  • Workout Saturday - thursday
  • 9000 steps + daily 
  • eating 6 meals a day instead of 3.

  • Eat all allocated ProPoints, try not to use Weekly Allocated ProPoints. 
  • Drink more water
  • Do more exercise, even though I am only working at my house doing renovations.
  • Eat more whole foods instead of processed foods, eating every morning my mixmymuesli.

  1. I like how you broke your goals up into segments.
    Getting moving is a necessity to lose. I just decided, reading this, that instead of going home for lunch every day like I've been doing, i'm going to take a 30 minute walk while I'm at work. I'll see if that works!
