new workout & diet routine

so bikini season is coming up and i want to be back to my goal weight of 109 by then! right now i weigh 113, which isn’t a lot, but i could be a lot better with diet and exercise*. so i’ve implemented a new workout routine and i’m trying to get myself off fatty foods and cut down on my carbs and amp up my protein/fruit/veggie intake. i go to the gym at school for an hour every monday/wednesday and walk my dog at least a mile everyday in addition to doing the workout below daily. 

weights/toning

  • 60 bicep curls
  • 60 side lifts
  • 60 tricep lifts
  • 90 v-sit twists
  • 60 lower ab toners
  • 60 crunches
  • 60 sit ups
  • 60 squats
  • 60 plie squats
  • 10 reps of leg weights (thighs and booty)

typical food for the day

  • banana & pb smoothie (1 cup low fat yogurt, 1 banana, 1 tbsp peanut butter), 100 calorie bagel thin with honey NOT butter, and an egg white if i’m going to the gym for extra protein!
  • chocolate flavored meal replacement shake
  • 8 quaker chips in salt & pepper (16 is a full serving, i cut mine in half)
  • veggie patty (170 cals) or luna/kind bar for after school snack
  • lean cuisine OR 1/2 portion of regular dinner ie 1/2 the spaghetti with half the sauce and no garlic bread
  • LOTS of water
  • TEA TEA TEA: caffeinated, mint, raspberry, orange, oolong, and if you’re in the mood for sweet/spicy chai tea with low fat or non fat milk is a good way to curb the craving. 

*this might seem like a low goal weight. i am about 5’4” and have always been very petite. the lowest healthy weight for my frame is 107. anyone who diets should take size and frame into account.
