The best laid plans... I keep missing the gym! Yesterday, the roads were icy, and thought it best to come straight home after dropping the kid at school. Got totally involved in my day here, and never made it back out. By 4-6pm... zero desire!
Food wise, great day... hunger kicked in at normal bkfst time. Then lunch around 1:00, and dinner around 6:30. I think I had a snack around 9:00pm, and got up this morning feeling FULL and BLOATED. (plus I really needed to poo!)
Took care of business after a nice hot cup of coffee...and now feeling 100% better!
Have a bunch of commitments today - errands, dr.'s appt for Mom, groc store, baking for an open house at son's school tonight, ...but I am determined to get to the gym this AM, FIRST!
Even that is going to get an overhaul! Been reading on and off about different methods of training, and overall fitness goals and how to reach them. Going back to my every other day routine regarding weights, and increasing weights in small increments.
Day 1: Walking (warm up: 3-5 min's 3.0 to 3.6 zero incline)
Incline added: 5 min's 3.8 @ 2.0 incline
Speed added: 5 min's 4.0 @ 5.0 incline
Combo change: 5 min's 3.8 @ 7.5 incline
Combo change: 2.5 min 3.6 @ 10 incline
Combo change: 2.5 min 3.7 @ 7.5 incline
Combo change: 2.5 min 3.8 @ 5.0 incline
combo change: 5 min 3.7 @ 2.5 incline
Cool Down: 5 min's 3.6, 3.4, 3.2 etc...back to 0 incline
32.5 min's
Day 1: Walking Only
Day 2: 7 min warm up on Eliptical
Weights: Leg Press, Inner, Outer Thigh Machines, Biceps, Overhead Press, Triceps, Pull ups, Pull Downs, Row Machine, Squats, Abs, Plank
17 minute Cardio on Eliptical (2 min warm up - 15 min blast of fun!)
Aprox 60-70 min's.
Day 3: Repeat Day 1
Day 4: Repeat Day 2 - cont alternating
rinse and repeat - month of March.
Have a great day ya'll!!! Much Love.

Being flexible and forgiving with ourselves is what makes us successful Paula. I am very familiar with the old saying..."Best Laid Plans..." Like the look of the work out regimen you outlined....may borrow from it if you don't mind..:) Sounds like you have an extremely busy day...so happy you are fitting in "You" time....so important for overall well being..Much Love my friend, do be careful while running the roads today, sounds like you are still experiencing some "ugly" weather. Hugs.

Paula, you sound like you have been really busy and still are! Enjoy your exercise plan! I know that the longer the day goes on the less chance of me doing any thing! If I don't do things first thing in the morning then life takes over!

jojump... I went thru my itunes playlists....and picked all fast paced praise and worship music, and just a couple of moderate ones... put together my own music for the above to get me HIGHLY MOTIVATED! I love music, and love to sing...but love praise/worship music even more!!! It's perfect for me - just have to be aware not to burst out singing in the middle of the gym! :) (already did that twice before) !!!
