2011 Q3 GOALS: July 1-Sept. 30, 2011

July 1, 2011 by Leave a Comment

I did not meet my Q2 goal of 190, but managed to lose 10 lbs exactly, so I guess it is a start!

Starting Weight: July 1, 2011 – 203.6 lbs

Q3 Weight Goal: 175 (28.6 lb loss) – this is a pretty lofty goal at 9.5 lbs/mo, BUT I’m ready to ramp up the biking and feeling pretty determined!

Q3 Fitness Goals:

  • Cardio 5 times/wk (min. 30 min, but aiming for at least 40 min on the bike per session)
  • Strength training 3 times/wk – currently doing upper body (2 sets of each)
  • Abs 5 times/wk

Q3 Food/Nutrition Goals:

  • calorie counting: 1600-1800 – may play with this and also doing some calorie cycling
  • 8 glasses water daily

My Q3 goal will bring me into Oct…and if things go according to plan, Oct = a departure for Thailand and the beginning of realizing my goal to be location independent. GREAT inspiration for sure!!
