James and I are headed to Europe in May and we wanted to get in shape just a little before we go so I’ve started biking again and it was brutal. I just came back from a 30 minute bike ride up and down hills and I can tell how out of shape I am. The goal is to build muscle and get back into shape not necessarily lose weight – we just want to be able to run around Europe without getting super exhausted. Of course losing a little weight wouldn’t be bad either.
Here are our rules for the next couple weeks:
- No Soda (not a huge deal) No Beer until Europe =(
- Sweets (in moderation) OK only if worked out 1 hr or more that day
- Do something active once per day for at least 30 min
- Longer workouts at least twice a week (1 hr)
- Eat healthier
Not too difficult… so we should be able to do that …
Note its not “No Alcohol until Europe” just not high calorie or sugary drinks – guess we’ll be having mojitos (~70 calories a glass)
