Starting Weight  Nov. 1, 2008 - 162.2 lbs

Weight loss goal for month: 7 lbs (155)
Weight loss goal per week: 1.8 lbs

November Exercise Goals:

• Cardio/walking or biking 5 times/wk  (probably more walking than biking as weather gets cooler)
• Strength Training 3 times/wk - upper body
• Strength Training 3 times/wk - lower body
• Abs 5 times/wk (8 Minute Abs Dvd)
• Pilates 3 times/wk - (video)

November Food/Nutrition Goals:

• Get back on track with calorie counting (cycling and low days/wks)
• I’m doing a 30 day challenge for month of Nov - no eating past 9:30 PM. This seems to be a large part of my struggle and where I tend to consume additional calories - the rest of the day I am fine!  I figure having this boundary may help to get be back on track with this.
• Finally feel that I am making some traction getting the lbs off that I had gained while traveling but it has not necessarily been easy!
