The 10 Week Push

Okay, so it's more like 9.5 weeks. Sue me if I am a few days late with starting this! Before our vacation to Malaysia, Matt invented his own "5 Week Push" to get him in shape. It worked out pretty well for him, and so he has decided to do a 10 week push for our trip to South East Asia trip. He has always been one to motivate me, so I am starting my own! If you want to check out his progress, along with fun stuff he finds on the internet and his own musings on Taoism, then follow him on his tumblr:

 While he is focusing on gaining some muscle and toning up, my goals will center around weight loss (duh). Sad news is that in the past month I haven't lost any weight. I'm not surprised since my exercise has been sporadic. Good news is I haven't gained any either, so I'm starting right where I left off.

Here are my goals for the next 10 weeks:
1. Start the Turbo Fire back up again. From week 1. Do the full 9.5 weeks of the program. 
2. Track my food, for real.
3.Cut back on all liquids except water. For me, that mostly means coffee and a little bit of soda.
4. Get more sleep. Sheesh! Start back on a good routine.
5. Watch what I eat.




Doesn't sound too hard. I was doing great before. All I really need to do is get back into exercising 6 days a week. I know how I am, and exercise impacts my weight loss the most. While a lot of people say diet is much more important, I see more results with exercise. Of course, I don't eat crap for every meal. I am assuming if you were to only exercise and not care at all about what you consume that you won't get results, but that's not me.



So here's to the next 9.5 weeks before the trip! It's time to find the motivation I seemed to lack for the past few weeks. I keep having to remind myself that this isn't just a fun vacation. I'm going to Vietnam to try on my dress for crying out loud! It will be the only time I get to try it on before going home in 10 months!

Let's do this!
