(For more information about my dieting and weight loss, click here. For more information about the specific foods I eat, click here.)

(The Daily Read is a series of blog posts written on posts that have been found throughout the Entrecard blogosphere. If you’re interested in having your own post listed here, send me a link to that post THROUGH ENTRECARD. You can do so by clicking on the “E” on the Entrecard widget to your right. I will take a look and respond to let you know if it will be featured here. As you’re reading, make sure that if you like the sites you see, that you share them with friends, subscribe to them, etc. There’s never anything wrong with giving good content extra traffic.)

Israel has been a great friend to me ever since we’ve met through the blogosphere. Basically he likes reading about my dieting and I like reading about his exercise. See, he’s got the exercise part down but wants to work on his dieting. I’ve got the dieting down but need to work on my exercise. I am completely new to the terminology of exercise. (Don’t get me wrong. I used to be quite active, but it came from working at a grocery store as a stocker. I used to lift 8 suitcases of beer at a time. But that was 17 years ago.)

So, tonight I’m combining the Daily Read and my diet post in one. If you don’t check the comments, Israel left me some good information on my last diet post. Basically he gave me a good start to a decent workout. I also feel he’ll help provide me with the guidance I need over the coming months as I get used to this. So using his information, I’ve decided that this coming Monday, I will start a weekly routine consisting of the following:

Monday - 3 sets of squats, 3 sets of crunches, 3 sets of push ups, and 100 twists (per his plan). He even was nice enough to post a video of a squat so I understood exactly what it is: Fat Man Unleashed Workout Videos. And a set, according to him, is whatever you can handle. So I’ll start with 20 of each for now.
Tuesday - And hour total of cardio. Probably walking.
Wednesday - 3 sets of squats, 3 sets of crunches, 3 sets of push ups, and 100 twists.
Thursday - Another hour of cardio.
Friday - 3 sets of squats, 3 sets of crunches, 3 sets of push ups, and 100 twists.
Saturday - Another hour of cardio.
Sunday - Rest.
Every Night - 20 Curls of my 85 pound daughter. (It’s how I tuck her in. )

So I’m going to try that plan (and will let you guys know exactly what I do each day as always) for a month or so and see how it works.

Make sure to go visit Israel’s site, Fat Man Unleashed. I especially enjoy the posts under the Physical Fitness category as that is where I lack experience and knowledge.
