Happy New Year!
Today is the beginning of my year long weight loss journey. My measuring tape is MIA, so those will be up tomorrow after I make a trip to the store. However, my starting weight is 206.5. I want to weigh 130 by the end of the year. That is a weight loss of 76.5 pounds.
I've decided on an exercise plan for January, and I will tweak it for the following month if needed. As much as I love Curves, it has been difficult for me to get there to work out since they don't offer a child care service. I have decided to use what I already have to get started and discontinue Curves.
Here's a short inventory on what I have at home (aka good intentions that didn't work out):
Videos: Jillian Michael's 30-day Shred, Super Stomachs, Tae-Bo, 8 Minute Abs, Firmer Fannies
Equipment: Elliptical machine, Cardio Glide, weight bench with various free weights
Other: Nike+ sport kit, armband, and Nike+ sneakers
This is my January workout schedule:
Sunday: Off day (sort of). I will do 90-120 minutes of fast house cleaning. Sounds silly, but it can be a workout. I have a huge home - 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
Monday: 8 Min. Abs, 30-day Shred
Tuesday: Super Stomachs, 30 minutes Elliptical
Wednesday: 8 Min. Abs, 30-day Shred
Thursday: Super Stomachs, 30 minutes Elliptical
Friday: 8 Min. Abs, 30-day Shred
Saturday: Super Stomachs, 30 minutes Elliptical or Jogging
This is the minimum I will do. When I tweak it for February, I will add more to the required workout.

Good luck Missikae! WIll be cheering you along...have to loose a few myself; holiday goodies and all, you know. Again, best of luck!
Wow, your exercise goals are ambitious. I started off the new year with a stomach bug, so haven't exercised at all, but haven't eaten much either :) We got a new eliptical machine and I want to use that or the treadmill 30 minutes a day, five days a week. I also want to do some strength work, but haven't set it down on paper, yet. Keep up the good work! And I just realized I should probably change my avatar if I plan on posting about dieting LOL
Hi montrealmoon and Cheryl Ann. Thanks for your comments! Sorry to hear about your stomach bug Cheryl. Elliptical machines are great! I love ours. It's easy to just get in a groove and go with it. Best wishes to both of you!
