Needless to say I'll need my Miami beach body MUCH sooner than anticipated. So, I am following a strick 2 week get fit quick scheme so I'll be ready for the California sun.
The plan consists of a strict daily caloric intake of 1500 calories per day coupled with a workout of some sort 5 days a week for no less than 20 minutes each workout. No junk food and lots of fresh food and veggies. I figured this would be a great time to start a running regimen so I found one at Coolrunning.com.

To help stay on track with my food intake and workout schedule, I am keeping a very detailed journal of it all. My goal is to be at least 140Ibs for the trip, which is very realistic considering I would only need to loose 5 pounds over 2 weeks to meet it. Even so, it won't be easy. Today there are some delicious apple cider donuts in the break room staring me down every time I walk in to get some water and tomorrow we are having a working lunch meaning that there will be greasy subs and pizza for the taking. I just have to keep the countdown and a mental picture of the Vicky's Secret Models in my mind. Let the challenge begin...
