Dropping Eight Pounds Day One

The drop eight pounds program through http://www.self.com/ starts today. I chose the freestyle plan. It has strength training moves that are yoga inspired. I am supposed to do those at least three times a week. With the cardio they suggest workouts such as dancing and running on the beach. I will primarily be doing dancing and running I have decided. They also have a meal plan that you can follow that is based on a 1600 calorie diet. I will be going vegan today. That is the diet plan I will be following. We will see if I really lose eight pounds.
The big challenge for me is to eat 1,600 calories a day. I am used to eating 1,800 to 2,000 calories a day. Sometimes, depending on my mood I eat more. We shall see how I do when it comes to that aspect.
I will also start the yoga/stretching out program that was suggested to me through http://www.realage.com/. It goes toward burning calories on this plan. I am willing to do it. Josh and I have running around to do today so I will not being doing any yoga here in the morning. In fact, we are leaving here in the next half hour. However, tonight I will start.
They have a nifty water counter in the logging part of the drop eight pounds plan. That is pretty neat. Yesterday I spoke about drinking more water. I guess it will be easier to keep count, now.
 I am excited and I hope I win the big prize. I probably will not. However, I can hope. The big prize in actually a trip to Mexico for two. That would be amazing for Josh and I. It would be romantic. Like I said, I will probably not win. However, I can try.
This blog will help keep me accountable and complete the program. With friends from facebook and all over the internet reading this I better hold myself accoutable! I want to do what I say I will do.
