The Summer Plan for Fitness.

So I'm making a summer plan for general health and fitness. I think this is it:

-Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I will lift weights at the CoRec.

-Mondays: Arms and abdominals
-Wednesdays: Shoulders and legs
-Fridays: Chest and abdominals

-Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays I will run 5 or so miles.

-I will eat within 30 minutes of waking up and within 30 minutes of working out (if possible).

-I'll focus on eating much more fiber than I currently do--mostly through the liberal use of fibrous breakfast cereals.

-I will eat more protein as a proportion of my daily calorie intake.

-I need to establish limits on unhealthy habits that are nevertheless inevitable, given the fact that this is freakin' summer (exception to most of these limits: the week Ben and I are in Europe):

-No more than 1 skipped workout per week.
-No more than 8 drinks per week (four nights off per week times two drinks per night).
-No more than 3 pops per week (at the movies, refills DO NOT constitute additional pops).
-No more than 3 fried dishes per week.
-No sleeping in past 10AM.
-At least 8 hours of sleep per day.
-On at least 4 mornings per week, I will do push-ups and/or sit-ups.

-I will try to walk everywhere possible, and when I get it, I will ride my bike as well.

-I will try to drink as much tea as possible: at least one per day.
