How do I plan to do this? To begin with, I am already pretty enthusiastic about exercise, but I am pretty over the gym scene (and not in a financial position to invest). I plan to use a variety of activities to achieve my goal. I have drawn up a roster for my first week, here it goes (starting tomorrow)
Saturday - 8am walk the dog on the beach for ~40 minutes (before breakfast). In the afternoon I will take my dog and my bicycle from Bulli to Bellambi, which is about a 6km return trip on the bike track.
Sunday - My official day of rest, I might dig in my garden for a while.
Monday - A busy day for me, so Monday night is fight night, I have already lined up my boxing training partner for the evening, Mr. K. Boxing circuit training is a great workout!
Tuesday - Walking the dog on the beach early in the morning, swimming (750m because I am out of shape) at the local heated pool (its too cold in the ocean right now).
Wednesday - Racquetball with Mr. K at the uni gym. We both have free gym passes that we scammed pretending to be enrolling students.
Thursday - Bush walking. Half way up Bulli Pass is a walking trail that has a massive (!!!!!!) hill that almost killed me last time I was up there, I want to do this trail once a week so I can feel it my fitness progressing, I think this will motivate me. Mr. K agreed to do this with me. The track takes about 1 hour to complete. And my dog loves it there.
Friday - Taking the dog to the beach and back on the bike! Bulli to Bellambi again...
And how about a diet? I hate diets. But this is what I am going to do. Everyday, I am going to have a healthy high fibre cereal for breakfast. Three days a week I am going to eat a spinach salad for lunch and a boiled egg for tea and fruit, carrot or celery sticks for a snack. The rest of the days, I will make an effort to eat and drink responsibly.
I am also going to take fish oil capsules, a multivitamin, folic acid and a kelp supplement that my doctor recommended to help speed up my metabolism.
So what do you think? Can I do it?
