The Skinny Kid

According to Got your game plan for ’08? - The Fit List - msnbc.com, To really get fit in ’08, you’ll need a good game plan.
1. Set a goal.
2. Devise a practical strategy.
3. Keep it simple.
4. Think long-term.

I have decided that my game plan will be that of the Body for Life program.  For the first 12 weeks of 2008 I have set the following ambitious goals:

1. Lose 25 pounds of fat
2. Reduce my total weight from 230 to 205
3. Reduce my body fat percentage from 29% to 20%
4. Reduce my waist size to 34 inches from 38
5. Reduce my number of chins to 1

Tomorrow will be my first day of weight training, and I will be focusing on upper body. The planned workouts are:

• Chest: dumbell bench press/dumbell fly
• Shoulders: lateral raises/dumbell shrug
• Back: Upright row/seated pullback
• Biceps: barbell curl/preacher curl
• Triceps: Barbell extension/dip

My meal plan is as follows:

Breakfast - oatmeal with protein powder

Mid-morning snack - protein shake

Lunch - egg white omelet with vegetables

Mid-afternoon snack - cottage cheese and fruit

Dinner - meat, potato and vegetable

Evening snack - popcorn
