Is my fitness plan reasonable?
I just received a shock yesterday. I weighed myself (I avoid scales) and I've gained 4 pounds (I was trying to lose 8). Currently I'm at 139 pounds, I want to be at 125-127 pounds (12-14 lbs to go). I have a body fat scale, but I plan to incorporate calipers too so that I have a check. I changed my diet this weekend: I'm decreasing carbs, increasing fruit and veggies, increasing protein, eating 5 small meals a day, not eating after 8pm, and keeping with the 8 glasses of water. I'm going to work out 5 days a week - 20 minutes cardio, 30 minutes weight training 3 days per week, and 30-40 minutes cardio 2 days per week. Is my plan reasonable? Is there anything else I should add? By decreasing carbs, I want to decrease the bad ones (french fries, hashbrowns, white rice, white breads - sourdough is delicious). I still eat whole grain toast for breakfast, but just one slice.

- i would drink water all the time and do fun athlectic stuff because im also on a healthy diet i learned that drinking soda doesnt help and i drink anything but soda and i feel good and when i eat i dont feel over bloated.....if you cant live without your fast food meals just eat some at the end of the week and to me it feels like you got it all down!!!! GOOD LUCK!!!
- Your fitness plan is very reasonable (it's almost exactly like mine). Just don't push yourself too hard. Your eating plan isn't so good. Try incorperating lean ground turkey into your diet. It can be substituted as ground beef in almost and recipe. Try lean chicken breast. As for the low carb, veggies and fruits are carbs, but as long as you exercise carbs shouldn't be a problem. If you sick to your routine and don't eat any junk food you can loose up to 25 pounds. It's not impossible, I did it!! Good luck, hope I helped!
