Liza's Goals

Strength Training goals: to be able to do 5 pullups; maybe even
incorporating sets in with the pullups
I will need to increase my strength training to 4 days, incoroporating
pullups into my routine (although, I generally just hang there, but oh
well)

Running: to run a mile and a half in 12 minutes (I'm almost there...at
my best, i can do 1.43 miles in 12 minutes)
5 days a week using high intensity interval training for at least two
of those days. I usually "test" myself on Wednesday by all out
running, no warmup or strength training before that.

Nutrition: although my overall goal is to remove all processed foods
from my diet, I will start with no fried foods (i.e. french fries), no
white bread (is this a good goal, since I hardly eat bread anyway, let
alone white bread) and no white sugar. On the flip side, I will
incorporate more greens in my diet, and will begin to experiment with
green smoothies. Also, I need to be more conscious with my probiotic
supplements and omega-3 fats. I will bring my lunch to work. As I
progress past this 60 days, I would like to be able to fast one day a
week. but that's an overall lifestyle goal, not something i will
tackle at this beginning stage. I will have a "free meal day" every
two weeks to help with psychological issues around food.

I don't necessarily believe in a magical number for weight, but when I
was the most fit, I was hovering between 118-120 lbs (but I had 18%
body fat; I am 125 lbs now, and nowhere near that in body fat% or
fitness), so for my 60 days I should be at 120 lbs. I would like to
say that my body fat% could be 20%, but i have no way to measure that
right now. how about losing 3 inches from my waist? I don't know
what the precedent is for inch loss versus fat loss. I hope that is a
realistic goal. 3 inches. I will reevaluate based on research.

I can be more specific, but I like to keep things general right now.
I'll feel more successful that way ;)
