I have a goal to lose 25kg (approx. 50 pounds) by mid December.
At the moment I'm 84kg and a size 14 (I think that's a 10 in the US?). Anyway I ideally want to be around 60kg and a size 8/10 (4/6 in US?).
So I was wondering if I was able to get a second (or more preferably) opinion on my plan to achieve this!
DIET--
Breakfast: Smoothie (handful of berries, skim milk, fat free natural yoghurt, & 1 banana) & x2 rye bread toast with vegemite (no butter).
Snack: handful of almonds & a piece of fruit.
Lunch: a veggie or piece of fruit, a wholegrain bread roll & a salad of some sort?
Snack: banana
Dinner: Small amount of lean meat (either chicken or fish as I don't eat red meat) & large amount of veggies.
EXERCISE--
Monday: 1hr pump class, 30 minutes cardio (10 minutes bike, 10 minutes crosstrainer & 10 minutes rowing or 20 minutes bike and 10 minutes rowing)
Tuesday: Either a cardio class like Combat or Step or 1hr workout incl. 30 minutes cardio, 30 minutes core/squats etc.
Wednesday: 1hr Pump class, 30 minutes cardio (10 mins bike, 10 mins x-trainer, 10 mins rowing or 20 minutes bike and 10 minutes rowing)
Thursday: 1hr Pump class & a 1hr cardio class
Friday: 1hr cardio class
(NOTE: on the bike I do a resistance of 7 for 30 seconds and then a resistance of 15 and sprint for that, then back to level 7 and so on, for 10 minutes. on the cross trainer i have a resistance level of 7. also in pump class i do squats with 7kg weight, arm/chest exercises with a 2kg weight and 5kg for the general area workout).
& at the end of each month/after two months i plan to switch the exercise plan up so my body doesn't get used to it).
Sorry that was so long, but thought I'd make it as clear as possible to avoid any questions needing to be asked!
So any thoughts or advice/criticism on the plan?
