Set Rewards

I think that I am going to set my rewards at every 5 pounds with larger ones at 10 and 20 pounds. My husband got me a massage gift card for Christmas and I still have not used it so I plan on using that for one of mine. I enjoy getting pampered so I think I will include that into the other ones. Make sure to use what ever motivates you!

5 pounds: pedicure
10 pounds: massage w/gift card from DH
15 pounds: facial
20 pounds: Fancy 'dress up' night with DH

Step 3

Planning!
Ok so I posted a plan the other day but I think I am going to alter it in order for it to be easier to remember/stick with. I will change these in 10 weeks/10lbs so that I don't get bored throughout this process. I will do 3 different plans throughout the week->

1. Monday/Wednesday/Friday- 1385(intake) - 300 (activity) = 1085
2. Tuesday/Wednesday- 1185(intake) - 100 (activity) = 1085
3. Saturday/Sunday-1585(intake) - 500 (activity) = 1085

Food is going to be a bit harder to plan out. I am going to work on that this week and let you all know what I did, what worked and what I am going to try in the future. (staying within my calories for that day of course!)

Step 2

Tracking. I think that this blog is going to be a great way of tracking but I think I need something at home as well! I absolutely love Ash's poster and I plan on creating one tonight!! I think that if I post it in the pantry it will be most beneficial! lol I will do half pounds as well so that if I have an 'off' week I will still feel as if I have accomplished something! I will post pictures of my poster as soon as I finish it!

Step 1

Step 1:
Make a plan and set your goal!
My plan: To become a healthier me :)
My goal: To loose 20 pounds in 20 weeks

The first thing I need to do is to calculate my BMR so that I can figure out how to burn 3500 calories per week. I used this calculator to figure out my BMR, which is 1585.9692509090908 but we we will just say 1585. A general outline of what I will be doing for exercise until I loose my first 10 lbs: (two low days, three medium days, and two intense days)

Calorie In Take - Workout = Total calories=1085
Sunday: 1385 (300) 1085
Monday: 1585 (500) 1085
Tuesday: 1185 (100) 1085
Wednesday: 1385 (300) 1085
Thursday: 1085 REST 1085
Friday: 1385 (300) 1085
Saturday: 1585 (500) 1085

Total: 3500 calories
