It begins

Today is the the day. I've been thinking a lot about how to do this. I know I need a rigid plan because if I don't start strict I'll never stick to it. So here's what I came up with so far.

Diet
Day 1 - Fast
Today I need to just cleanse all the crap out of my body. So I won't be eating and only drinking water or green tea

First 2 weeks - Strict
I'll be using my fitness pal to track my diet. I need to strictly stick to my calorie count especially for these first two weeks. I'm also going to avoid sweets during this time. I don't believe in eliminating foods as that leads to cravings, but I need to learn to say no. So for this week no telling myself "oh just a little piece".

Post 2 Weeks
This is when the constant struggle begins. I need to think about what type of diet I really want. More to come on this later.

Exercise
I've never been great at sticking to a workout routine, but I think I found an app that may be perfect for me. Sworkit is a fairly new work out app that gives you a randomly generated workout based on the time you choose. My plan is to start at 15 minutes and grow it 5 minutes ever Saturday capping it out at 60 minutes. The app also lets you choose different types of excersise (cardio, strength, yoga, stretching). I'll cycle through those to make sure I'm using and working lots of different muscles.

That's my plan to start this journey. I'll post again later today with a day 1 recap.

Also, please feel free to comment on anything you read here. I'm interest to hear what people think of this plan and my journey overall.
