My "Get Fit Quick" Plan

My plan is to lose 5 pounds by July 15. How, you ask? Well. Let me show you:

1. Drink a lot of water. Here's why: CNN, Health.com
2. Do something physical for 20 minutes each day. A walk, a run, tae-bo, yoga. Anything.
3. Eliminate most sugar from my diet.
4. Keep accountable through Shape Magazine's Virtual Trainer.

5. Eat a 300 calorie breakfast. It keeps the hunger down and provides more energy throughout the day. Protein in the morning: WIN, WIN!
6. No alcohol. NONE! Already started this one and I feel AMAZING.
7. Eat more chicken/turkey than red meat. Eat more veggies than meat at all. Get protein from other source.

We'll see how it goes. I'll keep you posted! Now for step one: make that 400 calorie meal. You scoff. It's REAL. Lots of veggies!
