The Plan

So… welcome to my vegan health blog!

Most people dislike introductions, and I’m no exception. If you’d like to read about how I became overweight, lazy and then eventually vegan – feel free to check the “About” section for an overview.

So, sliding right of the whole introductory post, let’s get right into it! I have been “off the wagon” for a long while, so the plan is to start making small changes to my diet and activity level to ease into a healthier, more organized, more active lifestyle.

My Ultimate Goal is to be fit, toned, within a healthy weight range and eating a high-raw vegan (eventually organic) diet. But since we’re starting slow, I’m starting with small goals. Once I’ve gotten to a point where the new changes are consistent, I’ll take it to the next level and add in more new changes to intergrate.

Exercise Aims
- For the first 3 – 4 weeks, daily 40 min Yoga sessions to break myself into moving my body again.

- At week 3/4 change schedule to:
- 30-40 min yoga session in the morning
- 30 Day Shred circuit training for 30 mins in the afternoon
- 15 min yoga stretches before bed

- Add in belly-dance drills, free-weights, walking & pilates to mix it occasionally

General Food Aims
