PLATYO 2.0: Week 0

Alright, so here's the deal. A while back I started up the Project Lose A Ten Year Old in which I tried to lose the weight equivalent of a ten year old, or 100 pounds. (I'm not sure if that's exactly right, but it sounds catchy.) Life got in the way and I let it fall to the side. But now my clothes are starting to get tighter and I really need to get back on it. So here's the plan.

My girlfriend and I are going to be working out/dieting together. I'm looking into gym memberships now and will get signed up soon. Freshman year I remember working out with my roommates. I ended up losing a good bit of weight and was starting to look pretty good. But now I've gained all of that and more, so it's time to get back to work.

My family has a history of being overweight. I've seen the health issues that it's caused for my father and I don't want to go through those myself. Plus I just want to look good. I'm tired of being overweight and I want to do something about it. So here's the plan for the workout and the diet.

WORKOUT

• Monday
• Upper body
•  Tuesday
• Legs
• Wednesday
• Core and Cardio
• Thursday
• Upper body
• Friday
• Legs
• Saturday
• Core and Cardio
• Sunday 
• Rest 

This is the workout schedule that I used my freshman year, and I want to get back on it. It's a good balance between everything and hopefully I'll get the same results that I did three years ago.

DIET

1. No fried foods. 
2. Eat three meals a day.
3. Have a balanced meal every meal. 
4. Only drink water. (Alcohol will be allowed in moderation.)
5. Allowed one "free meal" per week. 

Again, this is the plan that I stuck to freshman year and it worked out well, so it should work this time around.

Now that I have my outline, it's time to actually stick to it. It was easier to do freshman year because I was far less busy and lived on campus, so I could walk to the gym and had a meal plan at the cafeteria. Now I have to plan lunches and I have to find a 24 hour gym so I can fit a workout into my schedule. But hey, that's life.

Do you have any diet/workout tips? Is my plan good or bad? I could really use any help that you guys can give me. Anyway, I'll update you next Sunday on how it's going! Until then,

and I'll try to do the same.
