Operation: NYE

OPERATION: NYE



The Name: Operation: NYE is actually Operation: New Year's Eve -- hehe. Named simply because it revolves around reaching my goal for New Year's Eve 2004.

The Timespan: Monday 11th October to Friday 31st December, 2004 (12 weeks)

The Plan: Exercise will change every week in an effort to find out what the best plan actually is. As set out below --

Week 1
Orbitrek for 20 minutes every day.

Week 2
Orbitrek (20 mins) M, W, F, Su and Debbie's Start It Up (30 mins) on Tu, Th & Sa.

Week 3
Debbie's Start It Up every day for 30 minutes.

Week 4
Debbie's Start It Up (30 mins) on M, W, F, Su and Ramp It Up (45 mins) on Tu, Th, Sa.

Week 5
Debbie's Ramp It Up everyday for 45 mins.

At this point, I'll review and maybe consider adding in some weights or after-dinner walks.

Along with exercise, I'm aiming to add in 8 glasses of water and 3 meals a day. I'm going to make a huge effort to limit the Milo intake; it's a killer and I'm addicted!

I'm not going to make daily posts anymore; they're too much of a hassle. I'll check in during the week as I feel like it and then do a weekly summary/results post.

The Goal: 160 pounds (72.7kg), a loss of 25 pounds (11.4kg).

UPDATE 12/6: Two-thirds of the way through, it's time to re-evaluate the goal I originally set for Operation: NYE. A large part of setting and achieving goals is knowing when to adjust the bar a little and one of those times is now. My original goal if 160 pounds is looking quite impossible if I'm going to lose weight healthily. I still want to challenge myself though, so I'm changing the goal to 170 pounds. This would mean a loss of 6 pounds over the last 4 weeks, for a total loss of 15 pounds in 12 weeks. :)

WISH ME LUCK! :)

A Different Weight Loss Tip
This is no diet but a weight loss tip that is a little different than most of the weight loss tips around. It is targeted to people suffering from food addiction, especially overweight people that love to eat unhealthy, fat food in huge portions. It is a psychological weight loss approach for changing food or eating

Well I just got back from the gym and I am beat. I am currently doing some research on running for weight loss and stumbled across your blog. Which cracks me up really. The internet can certainly land you off base sometimes. Even though Operation: NYE is not completely related I think it is a cool blog. I have read back through the archives and lots of people make some very good points. Well I have been on-line forever it seems. I need to continue to plug away at running for weight loss. If you have the energy swing by running for weight loss. I try to update my site weekly and maybe you will see something you like. I already snagged your URL and put it in my favorites. If you do not mind I will be back again. Great job!

One of the better results I saw from my fasting experience was that I have more self control over my eating habits. I have always been a binge type of eater. After my fast, I felt like I could restrain myself easier. It is proberbly a mental attribute. I mean I can go without eating for 7 days then I sure can keep myself from eating something I shouldn't.

Most diet plans leave you feeling deprived, but all of that chewing makes you feel more satisfied. Eating every few hours also raises your metabolic rate which means your body will burn fat and stop storing fat. Once you get used to this small change, you'll discover this weight loss tip really works.
