Day 1 - Two Month Get Back In Shape Program

Today is the first day of my "Two Month Get Back Into Shape Program" Now it's not like I am supper out of shape, I have been getting into the gym about 3-4 days per week but I have been cutting corners in the gym doing the bare minimum and my eating could definitely be much better.

To give you an idea of where I was and where I am now... I used to be about 175 pounds with very little fat and now I am about 180 pounds with an overall layer of fat that I would like to get rid of. So does this mean all I need to do is lose 5 pounds of fat to get be right back to where I was? Unfortunately not because I have also lost some muscle over the winter. I'm going to guess I lost abut 5 pounds of muscle and gained about 10 pound of fat.

So I really need to put back on the 5 pounds of muscle and remove the 10 pounds of fat I have gained. Not a big deal because I don't need to diet all that much as I have some energy conversion of fat to muscle that will happen when I start working out more. I will need to stay on a strict eating and working out routine but I really don't mind!

While I'm on this two month journey I will post my successes and hopeful not too many failures along the way.

So far today I have not done a workout but will be doing a light one tonight. I have to keep it light because I just had my last wisdom tooth removed this morning and I'm not supposed to do anything too physical. On the up side, my mouth has been too sore to really eat anything all day so I am ahead of the game with my calorie intake for the day.
