Lose 10 pounds and 'MAINTAIN IT' (which has been so hard)
I think it's healthier to think in terms of bodyfat - if you lost 10 pounds of bodyfat but gained 10 pounds of muscle, I'd hazard a guess that you're appearance would be drastically changed.
And with more muscle mass, you'd be able to maintain your weight goals a lot easier.
I've always found that goals are more easier to follow if they're specific ...
Start running/jogging regularly
How fast, how far, and how often? 3 miles in less than 25 minutes, 3 times a week?
Make sure to warm-up before you play (harder than it seems)
Do you have a specific, defined, warm-up routine?
Finally, EAT healthy (this I'm afraid will be the hardest)
What does "eat healthy" mean to you? Three meals, two snacks a day, with protein and fibre at each meal?
Well, mine is ...
(1) do 100 burpees in less than 7 minutes (currently takes me about 8 1/2)
(2) deadlift 2.5x bw, squat 2x bodyweight, bench 1.5x bodyweight, pullup with 0.5 bw added, perform a handstand pushup (pretty close on the deadlift, squat and pullup, but a long way from the bench and handstand pushup).
I reckon if I can do these things, I'd have to have my sleep, recovery, diet all in order.
