The challenge:
1. Try new fitness activities. (classes)
2. Strength training all summer.
3. running 4x a week
4. cycling 2x a week
5. Clean eating!! (eliminate Diet Coke again!!)
6. Finish my CPT program and get my certification!
I am getting ask about training for a full marathon...is that in the plans for the summer...I am only going to say I am going to run this summer, I will continue long runs adding miles every couple of weeks and see where I am at in the late summer. The full I would like to do if I do one is in Novemeber, so I can decided in August on this one...for now this summer is about training my body and having fun doing it!
My goals this summer:
1. Build muscle and lose fat!
2. Lose inches
3. Increase endurance.
4. Make clean eating second nature.
5. Have some fun family fitness trips.
The challenges I have put in place should make reaching my goals possible. I am not setting a weight goal, because I do not want to be obsessed about weight all summer...any weight loss will be a bonus...but I am looking for muscle this summer!
I will measure monthly on the 12th to see the changes along the way.
Starting today:
Weight...137lbs
chest...34in
waist...29in
hips....36.5 in
thigh..19 in
right arm...relaxed..11in
flexed...12.5 in
Left arm....relaxed..11 in
flexed...12.5 in
right calf...14.5 in
left calf....14.25
neck....12 in
forearm...9in
So there is what I am starting with, now let's see how it changes...
I have made a plan for the week that includes running, cycling, swimming, weights, and classes...pool time for the kids and my wonderful 14 year old has offered to keep my 5 year old for me to go somewhere to study so I will have no distractions! Let Summer 2011 begin!!
Woo hoo - run like the wind girlie !
