My Fitness Plan For July

Now this is just a very rough plan, as obviously it depends on time availability and everything. But here's what I plan for July:

Mondays: swimming (45-60 mins); 10 mins abs; 50 squats
Tuesdays: 30 mins home cardio*; 30 mins yoga
Wednesdays: outside cardio** 60 mins; 50 squats
Thursdays: 30 mins home cardio; 10 mins abs^; arms
Fridays: 30 mins home cardio; 10 mins abs; 10 mins yoga
Saturdays: outside cardio 60 mins; 20 mins yoga
Sundays: outside cardio 60 mins; 30 mins yoga

*home cardio will be any video from the BeFit youtube channel. 
**outside cardio will either be walking in the park briskly, or skating
^ ab workout will either be from youtube, or made up myself. Same goes for arms.

Push ups will be done every other day. 

My short-term goals for July are:


  • Lose an inch off my waist
  • Lose a few lbs
  • Be able to do 40 push ups non-stop
  • Go swimming at least once a week
  • Go rollerblading at least once a week
  • Walk more

Tomorrow I start again!

I lost 4 inches off my waist since December. That's pretty damn awesome. I also lost a stone - 14 lbs. 

But then exam season hit, and around April I stopped working out seriously, and plateaud. I haven't lost anything since then.

Now it's the summer, and I'm free to do anything I want. And that means I want to lose the rest of the weight. So this will be my blog to keep up with my weight loss.

The reason this blog is called 425 days to fitness is because that's how many days (roughly) there are till I start university in 2014. I want to be in the best shape of my life by then, and obviously preferably before then.

Here are my LONG term goals (to have achieved by this time next year):

  • Lost 4-5 inches off my waist (making it a 29-30 inch waist)
  • Lost 2-3 inches off my hips (making them 37-38 inches)
  • Lost several inches off my bust/ go down a few cup sizes
  • Go down to a size 10-12 in jeans
  • Get to a size 14 in dresses (my boobs make it impossible to get into anything smaller!!)
  • Be able to do 100 push ups in a row (currently able to do 30)
  • Be able to swim 30 laps of freestyle non-stop (currently able to do 8 or 9)
  • Be able to do 10 pull ups (currently none!)
  • Be way more flexible
  • Be CONFIDENT!!!
