Getting Back In Gear

So those of you who actually care about this blog and my progress know that I haven't done anything for quite some time. I find it difficult to work out at my home gym and really do need the atmosphere of a large gym. I'm more motivated if I have to drive there. If I drive there I do a longer work out, and I tell myself it would be a waste if I didn't work hard.

I'm also looking at other ways to trim down. Based on my body type [I'm a Pear] it is very difficult to lose weight in my butt and thigh region. So I've decided to come up with a meal plan, it will consist of 2 meals for each meal time, and it will be the same thing every day [obviously rotating my choices]. Not only that but I'm refocusing my work outs. For my upper body I'll use heavier weights and for my lower body I'll use lighter weights with more reps. Now if you know me, you know I go hard at everything. I'll do a lot of reps for both sections, but my lower body will definitely need to be lighter weights than my top [that way we can even out this non-sense of a pear shape i have].

So here is what my meals will look like:

Breakfast:

A Whole Grain Cereal, Skim Milk, and Fruit.

Cottage Cheese and Fruit

Snack:

Yogurt

Veggies

Lunch:

Turkey Sandwich on Wheat Berry Bread with Cheese and a side of Veggies

Tomato Soup and More Veggies

Snack:

Fruit

Veggies

Dinner:

Chicken with Veggies

Salad with Diced Chicken

Snack:Peanut Butter on Whole Wheat Crackers

Frozen Yogurt

Are we noticing a pattern yet? Veggies, lean meats and lots of fruit.
