• 2010 Charity Challenge Just got back from our quick weekend getaway so I wanted to write a quick post on what I'm up to this week. As I mentioned last month, one of my goals is support a charity in 2010 with money saved by not eating out for a week. I decided......

I just started going to the gym this past Mon doing 30-45 min of cardio on a stationary bike (going to start running in a few weeks once I’m a little more in shape) and will be doing that 5 days a week, as well as cutting down calories to 1200 – 1350 a day. I’m coming from poor eating habits and practically no exercise so I’ve definitely hit the ground running. I’ve been told by others it’s most certainly possible if I keep the routine up but I was looking for a second (or third) opinion as well as advice to maximize results. I have a ways to go and although I’m nowhere near in great shape, I’m young, enthusiastic about changing my life and definitely not a lost cause. Any info or words will be of great help. Thanks!!
