Well, it is May 1st and while I somewhat started already my diet and exercise process is now in full swing. Unfortunately the weather here in Wisconsin is horrible. As I look out the window it is a combination of rain and snow and 34 degrees F. But I cannot let that deter me. So here is my plan for today and going forward through September 20th...
Weight Current 220 pounds Goal 180 pounds
To achieve this I am going the standard route - eat less exercise more. But I am 70 and with bad knees etc. etc. etc. So I need a regimen that will move me more make me more supple and lose weight.
Steps per day Goals: May 7000 min June 8000 min July 9000 min August 10000 min
Exercises are a blend of stretch and weights starting out light on the weights and increasing them just as I increased my steps - per month. The exercises are monitored in a separate spreadsheet that I will incorporate once a month into this blog post. It has this format

So there we have it. Simple for now and depending on how I develop maybe we will improve upon it.
As for diet, I have set a target of 1700 cals per day. Ideally balanced for protein, fat and carbs.
OK - Day 1 here I come!
OH - I will only post the exercise results weekly.
