New Workout & Diet Tracker

I have just signed up for a FREE account with www.myfitnesspal.com.  I am truly excited about it because (1) it's free and (2) it keeps track of everything for me!  I can logon and track food & workouts on the web or through the app on my iPod.  When you set up your account, you will add goals which computes automatically what your daily caloric intake limit.  It takes the guesswork out of the calorie deficit you need to create in order to keep your weightloss goals on track.  I am trying to lose 2 lbs a week so that I can be bikini ready for this summer.  Therefore, I am limited to 1200 calories a day.  I can eat more if I workout that day, if not, then it needs to be no more than 1200 consumed.

 i.e. 1500 calories (consumed) - 300 calories (burned in workout) = 1200 calories for the day.

Welcome to 2013!

It's been quite a long time since I have made a new post, but today's as good a day as any!  I've not had much success with my workout and weight-loss goals in the last few weeks... my gym is closed for 3 weeks and with Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years... it's just not a great time to be "dieting."  With that said, I have a new workout idea for the coming year that I want to begin to incorporate into my daily routine.  It's a simple "wake me up" workout.

 There is no excuse!  It will force me to wake up a little bit earlier before work in the morning and get my day started on the right foot.  I'm hoping it will give me the jump start I need!  My goal this year is be in my healthy BMI by June.  That means I need to lose 2 pounds per week.  I think starting with smaller, attainable goals will get me where I want to be.  Cheers to a new year!
