Since January was less than stellar for starting out my fitness year. I am taking a mulligan for last month. If you don't know what a mulligan is, it is a do over or in my case a START RIGHT NOW!! Since I only got in 97.92 miles last month and I wanted to get 120 there is a lot of room for improvement. I also gained 2.4 lbs this past month so I am going in the wrong direction there. My starting weight for this month is 262.4 lbs. Hmmm..... Well all I can do is improve and this is the month to get started with that. This is the month to jump start this mutha and get to work and achieve my health and wellness goals. Heather and I have made a goal to not eat dinner outside of the house for this month. I know that doesn't seem like that much but trust me if we can break that one habit it will be monumental for us. I have also decided to take up weight lifting on my days off. It is only three days a week and I can handle that. I found a good full body workout from my new running book I just bought and I am excited about it. I tried it out tonight and it wiped me out but if I can get used to doing this it will be great and help me cut the weight fast.....I hope. I know what my Achilles heel is and that is my eating habits. If I can fix that then the rest should fall into place. I just need to stay motivated and focus on my goals. My new workout is as follows:
Run 3.11 miles
(weight lifting program) (3 sets of 12, 10, 8 reps each exercise except for abs)
DB Bench Press
DB Flies
Lat Pulldowns
One-Arm DB Rows
Leg Extensions
Leg Curls
DB Shoulder Press
DB Lateral Raises
DB Shrugs
Upright Rows
Tricep Pushdowns
Seated Bicep Curls
Ab Machine (25, 15, 10 reps as of right now for each ab exercise)
Ab Crunches
Roman Chair
Run another 3.11 miles
Repeat 3x's a week (or my days off)
The other 3 days that I work I will run in the mornings.
Well that is the workout I am doing right now and it should be killer once I can get in the groove of it and get used to the high intensity of it. I went through it tonight and it wiped me out but I got through it just fine. I should be pretty sore tomorrow though. I should burn a ton of calories. I need to call the BODYBUGG people and see if they can fix my BODYBUGG. If not I will have to sweet talk Heather into letting me pick up another arm sensor. I would love to know how many calories I am burning during this workout. Tonight I got in 6.3 miles, the treadmill said I burned 1,282 calories from the run, and it took me 68 minutes to do my run. The whole circut took around 2 1/2 hours to complete. I am sure that time will be reduced once I get the hang of it and get through the exercises at a faster pace. I want to cut down my in between reps to around 1 minute. That would be switching weights and resting. Well I will end this novel, I hope everyone is doing good and getting in their workouts. I will be better about posting from now on. I know I need the motivation from everyone and I hope everyone feels the same way. JUST RUN & LIFT!! Until next time...
