The joys of planks

I have decided that I might try a 1/2 vegetarian diet. I am an omnivore I cannot go without eating meat. But I can cut down how much I eat and what I eat. So I am going to start eating fruit and vegetables for  breakfast and lunch and save my meat eating for dinner. We will see how this goes so far two days down.

In related news I was at the gym this morning and I tried some planks. I am a big girl and I carry a lot of my weight around the middle. When I was looking up things to add to my work out, a lot of sites were suggesting planks. A plank is where you hold a push up position for a few seconds or minutes.  Its hard. I don't know if I like them or not but I think I will keep them for now but I am proud that I tried it and held it for 10 seconds.  

So my workout today was:

20 minutes high paced walking on fat burn on tred mill

2 minute cool down

10 lbs bench press 10 times in a row, 3 reps

Ab cruncher with 20 lbs weight 2 minutes forward, and 2 minutes each side

Regular plank 10 seconds 

Regular plank with two shoulder touches on each side

1.5 mile bike ride on random

I am trying to incorporate a lot of the things we will be doing we we are on our honeymoon. We are  planning on walking,  bike riding, and hiking while we are gone. I want to be able to ride 3 miles in less than 10 minutes. And walk 5 miles no problem and get up off the floor without looking like an upturned turtle. I have major anxiety about having to buy extra seats for flying.. so my goal at this point is to just lose a few pounds.. but lets be specific about how much a few is.. 6 I would like to lose 6 lbs by July 4th. Today I weigh 281 and we will see how things go I will keep posting on my progress.
