With so much conflicting advice out there, it is impossible to know if I am doing this right.
I am 5'0, 110lbs, and am trying to drop 10lbs (but I'd settle for 7 or and tone up. I tend to carry weight in my hips, thighs, lower belly and arms. I don't know what body type that is (ectomorph?), but I have it. I wanted to check with those who are in the know, and make sure I am going about this the right way. Here my workout/eating details:
Workout Program:
6a.m Monday-Friday:
Jog/walk (I am trying to build my endurance up to a full jog) for 40-45 minutes.
1p.m. Monday-Friday:
Lift weights for 20-30 minutes, alternating one day upper body (arms/abs), one day lower body (butt/legs).
Food Intake:
Breakfast:
Designer Whey Protein Shake
7 Reduced Fat Triscuits with a few teaspoons of hummus
Lunch:
1 and a half brown Rice Cakes with Reduced Fat Peanut Butter
1 apple/or salad
Before Gym:
another protein shake
After Gym Snack:
1 egg 2 egg whites (boiled)
Later afternoon snack:
1 yogurt with chopped strawberries
Dinner:
Steamed broccoli
Lean Cuisine, or pasta (if I'm starving) with shaved parm
Desert:
1 Blow-Pop
I have a really horrible sweet tooth and I LOVE my spaghetti so to get these things down to where they are, has been a challenge. I'm also a vegetarian, if that matters at all.
Does this program look good? The work-outs make me feel great and very motivated. However, a male friend told me I should cut back my morning run to 10 min and "work harder" by Doing High Intensity Interval Training for those 10 minutes. I feel so conflicted, and just want to know if I am doing this right before I get so frustrated that i drop it.
