Let's see. Another plan of action. I have been feeling so very down for the last week. Every aspect of my life is just feeling really....I don't even know what word I want. I just feel so bummed all the time. I wanted so much to be at a noticeable loss when I went back to work in Aug. Now I am bouncing around between a plateau and a gain. I have only 5 weeks left to make a difference.
I think I am going to borrow a plan from Val's journal and come up with some points for myself. These are the things I want to accomplish every day. I am going to try to cut and paste, and if I go above and beyone, I will bold them. EARLY AM WO ~3 m walk ~ 5 am ~6:30 am workout (as soon as dh leaves for work) **This is M-F only, w/the exclusion of being out of town the night before. AM WO ~The Firm ~8 Min Abs ~8 Min Arms ~2 mile walk with the kids PM WO ~TBD ~8 Min Abs ~8 Min Arms I had really started to make a dent the first few weeks. Then things started to fizzle despite my efforts. If I am not going to lose, I would at least like to see a change in inches/body composition. I also really need to get some discipline back in my life. I used to be so disciplined and I need to get back to that place. So, here's to the next 5 weeks.... |
Saturday
AM WO
~The Firm~Cardio :thup: ~8 Min Abs :thup: ~8 Min Arms :thup: ~2 mile walk with the kids/ 20 Min Step Aerobics w/4# weights :thup: (instead) PM WO ~The Firm~Aerobics :thup: ~8 Min Abs :thup: ~8 Min Arms :thup: |

Nothing. Nada. Not a damn thing.
I am having a pissy, crabby, grumpy kind of day. John will be gone for about 5 days straight. I am looking forward to it. |
Monday
**Didn't go at all as planned. Not even going to bother cutting and pasting. Ross is here, so today is just plain off. Tomorrow I will be subbing....
So, today: 2 m walk 20 Min step aerobics **Started storming...no walk. |
Tuesday
Nope. Nothing. Subbed today. Will definitely have a better day tomorrow.

Thursday
AM WO
~The Firm ~8 Min Abs ~8 Min Arms ~2 mile walk with the kids PM WO ~TBD ~8 Min Abs ~8 Min Arms **I WANT TO SEE 208 TOMORROW! :cheer: ___________________________________________________
Ack....What can I say? Things change? Today didn't really go as I would've liked. Got a call from Heather about her new job...talked to her through most of Nick's morning nap. And as I know, if I don't get my intense workout in right away in the morning, I have a terrible time doing it. Was -this close- to not working out at all, but then realized how little I have lost in the last 4 weeks and managed a (very low energy) workout. I felt great this morning, but then I think talking to Heather and my late night catching up with me brought me down. So here goes....~35 Min Step Aerobics (15 min w/2# weights) ~1.5 M walk (I will probably remember this as the day I had to pee so bad I was digging through the stroller hoping to find something to use as TP so I could go along the road) :rolleyes: |
Friday
:thup: AM WO
~The Firm~Cardio Burn (w/abs) :thup: ~8 Min Abs :thup: ~8 Min Arms :thup: ~2 mile walk with Nick & Bailey :thup: **I think I actually jogged about 1/4 M. Wanted to cut the time a bit and didn't want Nick to get grumpy. This is amazing because I am a lousy runner. PM WO ~The Firm~Cardio Burn (no abs) :thup: ~8 Min Abs ~8 Min Arms *I did not do these 2. I did the abs for The Firm.... ~35 Min Step Aerobics--15 Min w/4# weights (Added this one) **Did this about 9 pm, skipped the "8 Min"...thought aerobics would be better. ***No 2nd walk, just bad timing. :cheer: I am feeling so ambitious today. :p Not sure why. John called last night (3 times :lol: ) to tell me he won his race (in SD)--all 3 calls were after midnight. Guess he was a little excited. Anyhow, I thought I would be tired today but I am feeling great. Just waiting for Nick to get up to go for a walk. :roll: :agree: Editing to say: Mid-day weigh in was 209.5 (I know, I know--I shouldn't do that, but I just couldn't resist). So I am hoping/sure that there will be a drop tomorrow. Had a great 2nd workout. Rarely can I do The Firm 2x in one day, but it's just such a gorgeous day, and I am in a great mood. :cool: When Nick wakes up, I think I am going out for another walk. :sunny: |
:cheer: Yes, did it--208 today, just 3# to make my b-day goal! :cheer:
AM WO ~The Firm ~8 Min Abs ~8 Min Arms ~2 mile walk with the kids PM WO ~TBD ~8 Min Abs ~8 Min Arms |
Looks like you are doing great with your workout points!
Congrats on the 208. BTW, I always weigh right before I go to bed because I know I won't weigh anymore than that when I wake up. I also weigh just about everytime I go to the potty, since the scale is in the bathroom. |
Well, I am going to try something different now that I am going back to work. I am making morning workouts my goal. No small task. Since Monday mornings are, by nature, crappy :D I am going to make that my "easy" morning.
I figure if I cut and paste this formula and do it in a weekly format, it'll save some time. So, here goes.... |
Week of August 29th-September 5th
Monday~
DA Step & Sculpt 20 Min 8 Min Abs & Arms 16 Min Tuesday~ The Firm~Cardio Burn w/abs 55 Min 8 Min Arms Wednesday~ The Firm~Aerobics 45 Min 8 Min Abs & Arms 16 Min Thursday~ The Firm~Sculpting 45 Min 8 Min Abs & Arms 16 Min Friday~ DA UFB~40 Min 8 Min Abs & Arms 16 Min Saturday~ Choose that AM **This is going to be a tight squeeze to try to get the workout in by 6 if I get up at 5. I loathe the thought of getting up before 5, even by 15 min because to me, anything before 5 AM is still night time. We'll see how it goes. I just may have to get up at "night" to squeeze it in. |
Ok, let's start with walking instead! :lol:
M~1.2 T~1.2 W~4 T~0 F~ S~ S~ Total for the week 6.4 |
Just playing around with a few numbers for after the holidays.
My weight is creeping upward right now due to all the eating out. I am hoping to start working out while on Christmas break so that I will be in the habit by the new year. I am hoping that by New Years my weight will be about 210 and by the time John leaves for AZ I would like to be around 205. If I could lose 8-10# in the 2+ weeks that he is gone I could be at 195. A high number of lost pounds to shoot for, but I have done it before. Anyhow, just wanted to write that down to see where I stand.... |
Didn't get started off on the right foot....
Well, so much for that. The flu left me ravenous...and very unmotivated. Was at 217.5 today. I have barely gone past 212 since June, so that is very, very bad. However, I am expecting TOM w/in the next 2 days and I am hoping that after TOM and decarbing, I'll drop a good 5# in no time.
Wanted to get started on induction the day after Christmas, New Year's Day at the latest...but here I am Jan 3rd and finally getting there. Got a work out in. Not much, but it's a start: 40 min Step aerobics (20 in AM/20 in PM) 8 Min Abs 8 Min Arms |
