Life in the skinnygirl for ever has started.


This Blog was started to help myself lose 50lbs before end of this year. I will be turning 30 next year and it is my resolution to lose my post college lbs.

I've been good about exercise on and off but never been able to be consistent. It's never really difficult to be active so I don't think that will be difficult. The most difficult will be eating as often as I should. With work and running around, I sometime forget to eat and that's always not good because your body goes into starvation mode.

To keep me motivated, I have decided to run a 5K run in 2 weeks with friends and continue to do so every two weeks and in a month move up to 10K run. One of the things I hate is running, but I do enjoy running in races.

I will be starting my lifestyle change in my diet by cutting back on Carbs. Eating more salads and meat, etc. Pretty much following the South Beach Diet, I've done that before and had success with it...If only if I could include chocolate in there too.....

Started weight is 185lb and I would like to be 135lb with body fat less than 10%. (Exactly same proportion of my college days.) Goal is to lose about 2-3 lbs a week. Calorie intake will be ~1200 a day, depending on how much exercise I have completed.
My exercise program will consist of Running, weightlifting, yoga, Pilates, video DVDs, rollarblading, swimming, biking, etc.
I will keep updated in terms of progress and I will use this blog as exercise/nutrition diary.

Hope all of your Blogger out there could support me and watch me while I transform my body.
