Annual 2009 Resolutions = Fitness Revamp

Took an amazing ab class with instructor Leisa Hurt. Great Ab routines incorporating A LOT of stretching. Wow...it was good.

2009 revamp:

On top of consistent workout routines I will periodically take a random class at a local gym. I am a member of super-24 hour fitness so my membership allows me to go to any of their gyms regardless of super-sport, sport, magic, etc. Each club has their own schedule and this year I will take advantage. Tonight I will take an abs class. Woohoo!

My husband made me his delicious morning shake: banana, peanut butter, chocolate-protein. My metabolism got its jump start and boy it is revving!

For the next 30 days I am going to monitor my calorie intake. not change it. MONITOR it.

I also weighed in at 123.6*. I estimate I can lean down by 5 lbs.

*Measured over the course of 3 days at the same time each day.

Op Liquid heavy: Week 1 of 8: Days 36-41

Note: I want to start waking up every morning at 5:30 so I can have time to do pilates after my QT and still leave time for breakfast.

Here I go again...I must be bored...I got the sudden urge to buy a new kayak, which was quickly overtaken by the desire to go diving paired with the purchase of jet skiis...which was overtaken by my desire to purchase a dirt bike...which was surpassed by my urge to get that mountain bike I've been wanting for a while....Then I remembered my skateboard...and the cello...

Not sure where to start but I'm ready to go mud fight someone, or back pack for the weekend, or SOMETHING! ...maybe my husband needs to hurry up and get back from his business trip!

Day 36

Alrighty...just about there. Got clearance to start the workout routines back up! I need to cut back on the holiday munching and running.

Sheesh...I can feel the affects of my bad eating...need to shape up them habits! I'm usually so good...marriage is messing with groove ^_^

Day 24 - not yet...

Still in too much pain to exert myself so I will have to hold off for a couple more days perhaps.

Today's menu
low-fat mozz cheese stick
sugar free vanilla pudding with mini wafers
baked potatoe soup
left over chicken salad with jal. on whole grain bread
pear
slice of low-fat cheddar cheese
apple
Dinner TBD

Day 23 - premature workout...should I?

07:40a crackers with my coffee
10:20a 1/2 sandwhich; chicken salad with jalapenos
12:30p Hungry again - perfect timing!

I think tonight I will start doing leg lifts and maybe body weight squats

Day 22 - no more junk...seriously

Because of the craziness of our schedule and last minute things we have had to squeeze in between, my efforts towards eliminating "junk" was far from successful. I was able to avoid sweets and junk food at home, but I have eaten at chickfile a few times now and chipotle once or twice. I finally had to tell my husband that I needed his help. So no more Fudruckers for me for a while, no more chipotle, chick fil-e, pizza...Thankfully my husband is SO supportive.

Granola bars, organic chai, and a 1/2 cup of java was today's morning menu. Too light of a food-set for my normal regimin, but given that I could not workout last week and I will not be able to workout for another 2 weeks, it is necessary to cut back (or keep it lean).
