Going to up the Ante

So my recent weigh in has me at 192lbs, but I am not finding I'm losing weight fast enough for my liking and I have gained 4 pounds since. Then again I've only been doing 35 minutes of cardio and not giving myself time to really do any strength training.

So the new plan is...

Monday -Friday 5:30am-7am
35minutes on the eliptical
25 minutes on the bike
30 minutes of strength training

Saturday 8am-9:30am (on Saturdays I don't work) or 3pm-4:30pm (on Saturdays I do)
35minutes on the eliptical
25 minutes on the bike
30 minutes of strength training

Sunday 10am-11:30am
35minutes on the eliptical
25 minutes on the bike
30 minutes of strength training

If I find that gets boring, I can always run on the treadmill, do the stair stepper, or do what I call the DEATH MACHINE because it hurts my legs.

I figure 420 minutes of cardio vs the 210 I was doing would make an improvement. And enforcing the strength training, I think, will help. Sad thing is, before I got my car I used to do that many minutes of cardio by walking to and from work. At least I know that my laziness has to be stopped.


I want to get down to 150-145 as far as my weight goes. I'm just hoping that I can keep it off without hurting myself or doing any damage.
