Long Beach Fitness Expert

Hi there! So I was wondering if there were any physical fitness experts in Yahoo! Answers tonight…? If not, any input is appreciated [nothing rude, please!]

Well this is pretty much all I have right now. I planned it according to what’s in the kitchen:

1. Breakfast: Oatmeal w/ Milk (The powdered kind. It doesn’t contain fat. Don’t worry, it’s WAY better than it sounds ) or Cheerios (1 cup)
2. Morning walk around the block. It usually takes me 20 minutes.
3. School til 2pm
4. Lunch: Not sure about that yet, but I almost always have chicken, beans, & a tortilla, (Lol. Yes, I’m Mexican-American. And I enjoy grains.) and there’s mixed salad in the fridge. We’re out of fruit, but I’ll see if we can go to the store soon. I also take Women’s 1 a Day multivitamin.
5. 15 minute walk/jog at 7:30 when the sun goes down.
6. Dinner: Any suggestions? I’m thinking soup since I eat around 8 or 9.

Other details: I’m definitely going to start aiming for 8 glasses of water a day, and a little more milk. My problem is when I’m snacking on poptarts and chips, but I figure if I don’t take money with me to school, then there’s no way to buy snacks right? I DO need something to tide me over b/w breakfast and lunch though. And again before my walk/jog. Oh, and I checked the fridge, we have eggs (and an endless supply of chicken).

Now a little about me: I’m 18, measure 4′ 10”, weigh 117 lbs, like long walks on the beach… just kidding. But the rest is true. I don’t want to lose weight, just belly fat. Maybe even get a little definition in my waist?

I know it won’t happen overnight. It takes 6-8 weeks for a noticeable change to occur, but can you blame me for wishing?

Now, any thoughts? Things to change? Suggestions please! Thanks ^_^

Sorry for all the info!

make the tortilla at lunch a whole wheat one. stay away from white flour altogether. fruits, vegetables, fish, and grilled chicken should be in your diet. no soup for dinner, it has so much sodium in it. try to get 30 minutes of cardio exercise (running,jogging,swimming,biking) in each day or at least 5x a week.

if you exercise 5x a week and eat 1,200-1,500 calories you will lose 2 pounds per week.
