Here's the plan...

Hello again! Day two of our first steps towards becoming a healthier person!

I would like to take this time today to explain exactly what I am planning on doing here on "The first step."

I am planning on creating healthy habits for both my diet and my exercise routines over the course of the next few months. During this program I will be incorporating one healthy change in both my diet and exercise every three weeks.

Why every three weeks you might ask? Well the reason is simple; Studies say that a habit is typically formed within the first 21 days. So by changing my behavior slowly every three weeks I hope to be able to continue these healthy behaviors long into my adulthood.

On this site, I will have two tabs; One for Nutrition and one for Exercise

On the "Nutrition tab there will be some basic information as well as my daily food log. You can watch it as it slowly evolves into a healthier diet.

In the "Exercise" tab there will be basic information about exercise and how to help you reach your goals. You will also be able to see my workout plan and get daily breakdowns of my actual exercise regiment.

This week I will be contacting a nutritionist to get some basic nutriton questions answered which I will be putting on my "Nutrition" Tab Also, I will be going to a local personal trainer to get a complete fitness assessment done which will be placed in the "Exercise" Section.

Over the course of the next seven weeks (Eight including this week) I will be keeping you updated on all changes that are happening to me. These changes will include:

Weight / Body Composition / Flexibility / Circumference Measurments / Calorie Intake / 5k time / Blood Pressure / Heart Rate.
