It is accomplished! My workout area is clean and clutter free. I put the finishing touches on it Sunday night, and it is such a delight to wake up and enjoy my workouts in a lovely place!
I took “before” pictures in my workout area Sunday morning. My friend Rebecca took a set of outdoor pictures in the same location where I took my New Year’s Eve pictures before starting this year. It will be fun to compare the difference this year on New Year’s Eve. I am hoping to have “after” pictures to share someday. Right now, I have “before” pictures and “before that” pictures. LOL!
I started my 12-week Christmas challenge Monday morning. My weight was back up to 210 pounds. That is what I weighed on the first day of the Road Trip. This is my game plan for this challenge:
* start every morning with Bible study and prayer and faith affirmations
* bless my body with restful sleep every night and at least one rest day every week
* enjoy an intense Cathe workout 5 mornings a week (4-day split plus Friday morning cardio party)
* enjoy bonus cardio after work when I am bursting with energy
* work my abs/core at least twice a week
* work before I play (weights before cardio)
* hydrate my body with plenty of spring water every day (a gallon on workout days)
* fuel my body with 3 meals and 2 power snacks on training days (with a good balance of protein and complex carbs)
* nourish my body with 8-10 fruits and veggies a day
* enjoy a fruit appetizer before meals to satisfy my sweet tooth and energize me
* fast and pray once or twice a week
* enjoy a free day with treats in moderation once or twice a week
My goals for the rest of this journey are:
180 pounds * size 16 by Christmas
170 pounds * size 14 by Valentine’s Day
160 pounds * size 12 by Easter
130 pounds * size 8 by the 4th of July
I was hoping to have Cathe’s 4-Day Split. (I am so excited about the blog update!) My heart was set on this format, so I decided to create my own 4-day split with her other workouts. These are the morning workouts I have enjoyed this week:
Monday:
Muscle Max (chest and back)
IMAX3 (step premix)
Tuesday:
Gym Style Legs (standing legs)
Core Max (first segment)
Kick Max (kick punch combos)
Wednesday:
Muscle Max (shoulders and abs/core)
Low Max (step premix)
Thursday:
Muscle Max (biceps and triceps)
Kick Max (boot camp challenge premix)
I am looking forward to my fun Friday cardio party! No weights tomorrow!
My game face is on. Yes, this is a game that I am destined to win, and I am ready to have a blast and enjoy every day of this amazing journey. Put your game face on, and get ready to have fun with me!
Blessings,
Heather B.
