Back to basics fitness plan

So, I worked with this fabulous vegan trainer (henceforth to be known as "FVT") for a year or so, and he really is fabulous. I learned so much from him, but I have gotten VERY far away from where we left off, and now I want to try to recreate what he taught me... because of course I took notes on scraps of paper, backs of envelopes, and whatever was handy -- and I don't have them any more.

But it's IN me, I know it is. So I will start finding it by working from memory.

In the beginning, I was supposed to do three things:

• Walk 10-15 minutes in the morning, and 10-15 minutes after work.
• Get out of my chair at work at least once every hour, and move around whenever possible. Fidgeting, he called it.
• 10 military presses with one pound soup cans once a day.

Strap in, folks, there's a whole lot more to this than what's here.  But part of the brilliance of FVT's plan is that everything is incremental and strengthens what's to come, and at no point should one risk an injury.

So for the next few days, my food journal will also note whether or not I covered these three "back to basics" fitness steps.

It's all written down here, so tomorrow, when New Year's Day rolls around, all I have to do is log on and get going! Wish me luck, and wish me health. I wish the same for everyone else!
