Day 30 - January 30, 2006
I can't believe it - one more day and I have exercised every day in January. Some days have been only yoga - but I have gotten at least 20 minutes of exercise in every day.
Morning workout: Aerobic Body Shaping - Finishing up the Allie Fest on the January Firm rotation. Felt great - all those leg press and tall box climbs in the beginning almost killed me but I lived through. Used 8 lbs for heavy weights through this one. I also did the leg press with 8lbs and I made it through!
Next I need to decide what rotation to do next month. I am interested to see what the specialty firm rotation will be. I am leaning towards trying it, but will have to wait and see. If I don't do that I think I will follow the Firm February rotation by types and substitute my own videos in. I want a little more variety than I had most of this month - I want to add in other firms and other videos I have. I still have a lot of virgin videos I want to try!
Ack - Dentist appointment later this morning, I am dreading it. I haven't had a teeth cleaning in a number of years and it is time. Part of this start taking care of myself better plan. Oh - okay the truth is I planned to get a cleaning but hadn't called to make the appointment. Then I thought I broke a tooth flossing Thursday night so I went in on Friday, found out it was just the plaque build up, but was encouraged to make a cleaning appointment. Since I was there, I did and they had just had a cancellation for this morning - so I guess it was meant to be. We'll see how I feel after it.
Now to get back to better eating. I kind of slacked off some. I am still watching my breakfast portions well and if I eat lunch at work I do well, now to just keep supper in check and the snacking while fixing ours and the kids suppers. I am a sucker for cheese - I need to by some string cheese so I can snack on it and keep my portion in control instead of cheese here and there. This will be what I work on this week.
It's also time to set my February goals.
Workout goal 1- follow a rotation and workout at least 25 days (I may be on a trip for 3 days so I'm not sure how exercise will work out - it will be to see family and we may be staying at someone's house.)
Workout goal 2 - get back to running at least 2 days a week
Weight loss goal: 4 lbs lost
Eating goal: Get back on track journalling my food, make wise decisions, eat well the week of my birthday so I can enjoy my supper out.
So now February is all written out - I will achieve these goals just like I achieved my January goals and that will bring me one more step closer to the new fitter me!
