Sharing My Exercise Plan for 2009

I recently announced my weight loss goals for 2009, and one of my goals was to create an exercise plan. Today, I'd like to share that plan with you. If you're on your own journey to weight loss, feel free to use my plan to help you burn off the calories.

1. Walk for at least 15 minutes.
2. Workout on the Ab Lounge.
3. Perform household duties such as vacuuming and dusting furniture.

I plan to do my best to commit the above-mentioned exercises at least three times each week. They may not seem like a lot, but with my Asthma, I don't want to over-do it. I can always add more later, and if I do, I'll update this post with the newly added exercises. I honestly believe that once I start shedding a lot of this weight, my asthma will improve and I'll be able to add to my exercise plan. I feel a little is a whole lot better than nothing, and at least I'll be burning a few calories. We'll just have to see how this works out, so keep watching for updates.

In the meantime, if you know of any exercises that would be easy on someone with a severe case of Asthma, please share the exercises in the comments area. I'm open to all suggestions and tips.

Weight Loss Goals for 2009

Happy New Year!

What better way to begin 2009 than with a list of my weight loss goals. Although my goals may not seem like a lot, they're only a minimum; so if I exceed the minimums I set for myself and my journey to weight loss, then I'll be overly joyed come this time next year.

Weight Loss Goals for 2009

1. Take the time to sit down and create an exercise schedule.

2. Follow the exercise schedule at least three times per week.

3. Lose 10 pounds per month. If I'm able to do this, by the end of 2009 I should meet my goal weight or at least come close to it. The goal weight I set for myself when I started this journey to weight loss was 144 pounds.

That's it, three weight loss goals for 2009. Yes, I know the list isn't long, but it's three things that I've been slacking on, and I know if I accomplish these goals, I'll be a whole lot happier with myself and my (hopefully) new body come this time next year.

What goals have you set for yourself for the upcoming year?

Best wishes for a happy, healthy and blessed 2009!
