Week 1, Day 1 Program
As I noted in my Week 1 notes, our first few days together will be fairly low key. Focus on basics and building good habits. Don’t overload yourself. Start nice and slow.
Your goals for today/tomorrow are:
- Buy your water bottle, and get through at least 1L of water per day while at work.
- DON’T EAT JUNK FOOD
- Buy some nuts (unsalted) for the office, cause if you’re hungry, a handful will keep you going until your next meal and will ensure you don’t binge.
- Take your measurements
- If you’re going shopping, don’t buy chocolate/ice cream/desserts/cookies/etc. Buy protein bars instead, they’re yummy, and give you gobs of energy.
- Do one group of 3 sets of 10 half-crunches (ie: 30 crunches, with 2 minute rests in between).
And those are your goals for the next 2 days.
A bit of changes to your eating. A couple of exercisy things. A few minor lifestyle changes. Doable? If not, this could be a hard road to losing 25 pounds ;-)
But your focus?
Drink more water and less pop. If that’s all you do, it’s the core habit you want to build.

Nice to see I’m not the only one getting back into the swing of things. Just got off the treadmil and feeling great. Nothing like moving around to get all abuzz with energy!
Water is the best tip. For me it’s one small thing you can do for the most gain.
Cheers, and keep it up!

That’s 2 minutes between crunch right?

On your advice suited to people who want to lose weight! When I go to the shop is why I buy ice cream or candy instead of a useful and healthy eating!
