SI Goal #3

Eat healthier and Exercise.

I have the good fortune of having a fairly high metabolism, so even though I eat like there's no tomorrow, I don't really have a lot of weight to lose. Having said that, I would like to replace about 5 pounds of fat with 10 pounds of muscle. Towards that end, I have decided to start the Abs Diet.

Written by a Men's Health editor, the Abs Diet just makes more sense to me than many others. Basically, the author gives a list of "Power Foods." The idea is to include as many of these in each meal as possible. He doesn't ask you to count calories or limit portion sizes. The diet does ask you to avoid fried foods and limit your intake of highly processed starches and "junk food," but that makes sense. There is also an exercise plan that is an integral part of the diet. Since maintaining muscle burns calories 24 hours a day, this can greatly increase your fat loss.

Once TechnoBaby was born, I let my gym membership lapse, since I simply didn't have the time to use it. Luckily, most of the exercises in the Abs Diet require very little equipment, and can be performed effectively at home. However, I find that going to the gym motivates me to work out harder, so I would like to find a convenient, affordable gym to join.

In addition, I think it's important to take a multi-vitamin to ensure that you receive all the vitamins and minerals your body needs. Personally, I take Vemma, because I think the liquid form makes assimilation into the body easier. Anything is better than nothing, though.
