European Slim

When we moved back to the US from Germany, I weighed 115 pounds. Since living in the states, I've gained ten pounds. I am going to slim down again. Here is what I did then, and my current plan to fix it.

• walked everywhere
• ate lots of wild plant foods
• drank lots of herbal, green, and rooibus tea
• jogged 3 miles, 3 times a week
• strength trained twice a week
• ate lots of fruits and vegetables, yogurt, small amounts of cheese, nuts, and good protein sources

My current plan is same as above, but I need to change around the exercise portion because I need to train for something. More on that later.

• walk 3 miles a day
• jog 5 miles, 3 x a week (in case I decide to run another marathon)
• strength train 4 times a week, two days upper body, two days lower body, each day core. (I need to train to climb a mountain and the first step of that is to build more muscle mass)
• Until I recover from the marathon, though, I won't be jogging so for now I will hop on the exercise bike each time I go to the gym.
• eat a little more protein than is my usual to assist in muscle formation
