Ramping it up for August!

[gonnabea5]

Hello All,

I've decided to really ramp up my workouts for the month of August. Over the past four months I've gained weight, gained inches and my endurance level has gone way down. Since starting my new job in March, I've had to cut my AM workouts in half and even on Saturday, I don't have the energy to go past 40 minutes. I just feel like if I tighten up my schedule and routine, I can make progress in those three areas.

I workout 5 days in the gym doing various 30-35 minute workouts on demand. They even have a few Cathe workouts. So, now I will add a 30-40 minute workout in the evenings on M, T, Th, and Fr.

I eat pretty healthy most of the time and get enough rest. I will tighten those areas up as well. The plan is also to listen to my body and take extra rest days as needed, so some evenings, I may just walk. Some PM workouts may just focus on lower body, upper body, core, or cardio. So, they all won't be all-out tough cardio.

It's only a month long challenge and I will end on Sept 1st. I will run a thread in check in and challenges.

Stop by there and check on me.

Yes I have a calendar that I keep in my purse and I update it twice a day. Having a quick visual has helped me in the past.

Thanks for the encouragement, Ladies. Day 2 down, it's 8:43 and I'm heading to bed feeling pretty good. I can see a difference already.

I weighed in today and I've lost about 3.5 lbs this week so far. But the first week always yields more weight loss. I'm really aiming for 2 going forward. Saturday is a cheat day. I have had a few cheats by design. Tomorrow I will tighten it back up and get back on the wagon on Monday.
