OK – I am completely frustrated…this is the second week in a row with no real physical changes – down .2 lbs … Why? I know exactly why…I missed 3 planned workouts last week and on those particular nights, I either worked late or had other plans – so, no plan B. Like I’ve mentioned before, it’s been over a year and a half since this has happened to me and at this point I’m feeling completely overwhelmed.
I have so many ideas for new blogs which I can’t seem to get to… I’m also trying to get my skincare information up… (not sure if I’ve mentioned this before, but I am a licensed esthetician). Any way – one of my clients has had fantastic success with pigmentation issues which I can not wait to share with you – really, the photos speak for themselves… and now I am starting a night class on Sept 8 – oy! Oh, and the last and most amazing thing is I am planning on attending Valerie Waters Health and Beauty Summit in LA on September 25. This will be a fun filled 4 day trip including meeting and catching up with some of my RCR girls which will be flying in from all over the US, Canada, and even Australia. The speaker line up is amazing! You want to know how the stars do it – well, I’m going to find out!
With that said I’ve realized that my challenge needs to change. It will not be ending this week as I thought, starting now I have 17 days to get in my very best shape for this event, so drastic measures must be taken – lord help me!
So what happened? I made my plan just like I always do – it just wasn’t the right plan anymore. Now that my life has started to move a little faster, I needed to change things up. The main thing I changed was moving my workouts to BEFORE work. My days right now are too unpredictable and if I can’t get to the gym I get frustrated and lose focus – a very non productive way to spend the day. Don’t get me wrong, I’m actually one of the lucky few who like my job, and am very grateful to have one, but people – life is too short for regrets. One would be not taking care of myself, or allowing myself to put back on the 20lbs I’ve lost in the last year. When something isn’t working for you anymore, it’s time to re-think, review and revise it.
So – my new plan is as follows …
Food: My food will be pretty much the same for right now. It is tight enough for this week. Also I will keep my lemon/lime water going.
Workouts: Monday – Build workout, Wed and Friday- MarkOne Fitness boot camp at 7:00 AM, Tuesday and Thursday 6:30 AM – High Intensity Interval Training (adding sprints back in – (8) 70 yard sprints – 2 @ 30%, 2 @50%, 2 @70%, 2 @100%, followed by 300 yard shuttle runs -12*25 yards), Saturday 1-1 training with Mark – Sunday – active rest, basically a walk and some ab work.
