Dieting

i want to loose 5 poundsno, this is not one of those statements where tell people that i wish to loose 5 pounds so they can come back to me with:" O NO, but you are so skinny!!" type deal. .....I really DO want to loose 5 pounds. Reason? no reasons in particular, in fact, i feel completely comfortable with my weight, It's almost like a self-motivation/test for me.... Ever since my first "office" job post college, I seem to have lost a lot of motivation to keep myself fit.  I mean come on, as if getting up at 730am everyday isnt hard enough for me already. So here is the plan:combination of dieting and gymsimple rule of thumb ==> calories intake < calories output per day* average calories needed for adult females - Multiply body weight by 10; add the body weight to this value.  i.e., for a 120 lb female, 1,200 + 120=1,320 cal/day BMRAll in all:  For sedentary people (Lets just say i am one): Weight x 14 = estimated cal/dayThings I've done so far:- Going to the gym on average 3 times a week for the past 3 weeks. - Eating only tofu, veggies, chicken and fish with very low amount of carbs (whole wheat bread and oatmeal)- Cut down on drinking, this mean only white wine and bacardi and diet coke (this drink only has 52 calories!)Things will do going forward:- continue this routine for however long i can last.Will keep you all posted!o yeah, i want to be able to do a split too, any Wushu experts can teach me how to stretch? this is a bit more difficult though......
