in Introduce Yourself
I am very close to my weight goal and I'm going on a beach vacation in 4 and a half weeks. I know that it is totally do-able and it would be such an awesome way to start a vacation.

So here are my goals:
1) Stay at or slightly below my calorie goal daily (which is going to be a lot of work for me on Fridays & Saturdays when I usually go WAY over)
2) Cardio exercise for at least 40 minutes 6-days a week
3) Strength Training 3 days a week.
4) Complete gmukris' daily mini challenges.


I'll post daily what my daily plan is and whether or not I was able to stick to the plan. We'll post weigh-ins on Thursdays. November 8th is the finish line.

If you are with me, reply with your plan for the day and then post back at the end of the day to let me know how you did!

Here is my plan for today.
20 minute cardio kickboxing (turbo jam)
30 minute moderate bike ride
mini challenge = 200 arm circles

Breakfast: cafe au lait without sugar, cheese stick
Lunch: Sushi
Dinner: Grilled bone-in chicken, steamed veggies and salad.
