Welcome to the 25NYS Challenge!

Thanks for joining me!

As you know, I have set a personal goal to lose at least 25 pounds by January 1, 2013. I aim to lose 5 pounds each month, from August through December, and I aim to keep it off! Let's band together and reshape ourselves for the New Year! Please feel free to use this Group to discuss anything that is relevant to 25NYS. And don't forget to network with others that are doing this challenge, too! Success comes with support and inspiration - so let's motivate each other!

Remember, everyone's body responds to diet and exercise differently, so don't stress if you don't see results right away. A day at a time, and bit by bit. I welcome all invites, so add me if you'd like a new friend: Pudgebrownie (But you can call me Pudge).

Checkout how many ae1204b5.png this challenge has so far! Hip hip hooray!

    25NYS goal weight: 185
    What's your game plan: multifaceted approach
    In the US: diversify my strength training, lift heavier weights, drop 2 minutes per week on my 5 K time (it's really really high atm), drop 30 seconds per week on my 500 meter swim, cardio workouts 4 days a week, strength 3 days, plus a "fun" class at the gym
    In Spain : add lunges, squats, push-ups, sit-ups, etc to my jogging routine
    Diet: eat all of my fruits and veggies every day, less processed foods, less alcohol :(

    My eventual fitness goal is to do a triathalon
