The Next 90 Days

I just finished a ninety day fitness challenge with some folks, including Alex Lawrence. We have been using a Facebook group and Twitter under the hash #tmfit, to track our progress and as a form of accountability. Most of us tracked our calories with MyFitnessPal. This tool also let's you track exercise, and you can share with your friends.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to be as open about my weight loss as I would need to be. I have a considerable amount of weight to lose, and will take quite a while to reach my end goal.

Speaking of goals, in the past 90 days, I managed to work out at least 5 days a week, some weeks more. I reduced my calories to 2000a day or less before taking workouts into account. I managed to reach my original goal of losing 20 pounds between January and March. Mission accomplished. I lost a total of 33 pounds.

I'd love to connect on MyFitnessPal, its great for tracking and accountability.

The next 90 days are going to be interesting. As we move into spring and summer, I'm hoping to move my exercise out doors. For me that means billing, riding a bike, and camping. So here's are my goals for the next 90 days:

1. Workout at least 5 times a week, more if possible.
2. Add 2 days of weight training, and at least 4 days of cardio.
3. Continue to eat less than 2000 calories.
4. Reduce my sugar intake. This will be hard to measure but I'm mostly trying to build awareness.
5. Go hiking add many times as I can.
6. Get a road bike. I have a mountain bike but I really need a road bike.
7. Go camping at least once before the end of June.
8. And finally, drink more water, a lot more water.

That's it for now. I'm stepping up my public accountability her on the website. Also going to try and take more pictures of my progress. I'll also share my activity from MyFitnessPal.

Here is a pick from day 1 and about day 90.
