Jan 2012

I had a spreadsheet of tracking my weight, but this thread inspired me to do one for exercise and formalize some stuff.

Time period:
12 weeks (Jan - end of March)

Goals:
Be able to lift myself a little on the chinup bar (last 3 months I increased my hang time from 5 seconds to 30, so I'm onto phase two)
Be able to do 70 kettlebell swings (25lb) in a set (10 seconds rest time after each 20 swings or so).

Workout Plan:
Saturday, Wednesday - Kettlebell routine 1 (lifts and swings) and "cat vomits"
Sunday, Thursday - balance ball routine 1 (back, thighs, pushups)
Monday - kettlebell routine 2 (curls, triceps and swings)
Tuesday - balance ball routine 2 (upper arms and crunches)
Friday - rest

Diet plan:
No calorie counting, 6 days a week no grains, spuds, sweeteners (real or artificial), fruit or dairy - except whole cream in coffee.
Drink 96 ounces of water a day. If I drop to 130, add in one bowl of plain yogurt and fresh fruit during the week to see if I can keep that and maintain my weight.
