Plan for 12/12 to 12/16

Sunday, December 11, 2011

Just thought I would write a quick week plan. Always subject to change but this is what I hope to get accomplished:

**edited 12/12/11** I have decided to focus on 1 workout a day not including horse riding. So if I horse ride I do something in the morning.

Monday- I was still sore in the morning but I think I should be back to normal by tonight. Will go to barn tonight to see my horse! I'm thinking about making it a quick visit and then going to spiece after to elliptical and swim in my new bathing suit!

Tuesday- 6w6p in the morning/interval training @ night

Wednesday- chest/back in the morning/ I have a union meeting from 6-7 that I must attend to vote for our bonuses. I might go to barn if I have time.

Thursday- Insanity or Turbofire in the morning/barn if I don't go Wednesday..if I don't go to barn I can either go to step or do some yoga

Friday- shoulders/arms in the morning and shopping in the afternoon!!

Days I want to get up: 3
Minutes I want to do this week: 350
Designated bedtime: Be in bed by 11pm

Have a great week!

P90X2 schedule..soooooo excited!!!!

Friday, December 09, 2011

I found it! I found it! I had to think about where it might be. It had shipped so people might want to start it. Hmmm if they are going to do it they would want to put their workouts in teambeachbody!! So that is where the workout is. I know alot of people are probably still wondering what it's going to be..so here it is!!

P90X2: Phase 1 - Foundation (3 to 6 weeks)
The goal of Phase 1 is to help you create a solid attachment to the earth so you can do all other movements without compromising your form. When this happens, you'll look, feel, and perform better. This phase is recommended for 3 to 6 weeks, so we recommend you add your auto-schedule one week at a time.

1- X2 Core
2- Plyocide
3- X2 Recovery & Mobility
4- X2 Total Body + X2 Ab Ripper
5- X2 Yoga
6- X2 Balance and Power
7- X2 Recovery and Mobility

P90X2: Phase 2 - Strength (3 to 6 weeks)
Since this phase of P90X2 is the phase where the most visible body composition change occurs, we've incorporated our two additional workouts (V Sculpt and X2 Chest + Shoulders + Tris) here. Just swap these two workouts for Chest + Back + Balance and X2 Shoulders + Arms when you want to lengthen this block and keep the Muscle Confusion going strong. This phase is recommended for 3 to 6 weeks, so we recommend you add your auto-schedule one week at a time.

1- Chest, Back and Balance + X2 Ab Ripper
2- Plyocide
3- X2 Recovery and Mobility
4- X2 Shoulders and Arms + X2 Ab Ripper
5- X2 Yoga
6- Base and Back + X2 Ab Ripper
7- I guess day 7 you are off!

P90X2: Phase 3 - Performance (3 to 4 weeks)
This is the money phase in P90X2, where we take all the changes we've been making in your body and focus them on pure performance. The key to this phase is P.A.P. and doing repeated series of movements called "complexes." These workouts will destroy you in an oh-so-beautiful way. This phase is recommended for 3 to 4 weeks, so we recommend you add your auto-schedule one week at a time.

1- PAP Lower
2- PAP Upper
3- x2 Yoga
4- X2 Recovery and Mobility
5- PAP Lower
6- PAP Upper
7- X2 Recovery and Mobility

Yay!!! Now I just need the dvd's!!

I ordered this for my husband for Christmas. I know I can't do it for awhile because of my shoulder surgery recovery but I will enjoy watching him try it! Report Inappropriate Comment

Ooo, that's sound fantastic! What kind of exercise for P90X2, is it using easy-to-get equipments like our body weight, dumbbells and resistance band? I love exercises that don't require heavy, big things :D Report Inappropriate Comment

preparing for 2012 goals...

Thursday, December 08, 2011

So we are really slow at work today. I've been doing some "number crunching" and basically reviewing 2011. I want to break down the weeks..kind of get an average and see when I did more and less. I compared the months in morning workouts and minutes to see if there was a correlation. I just kind of want to change my focus in 2012 but I wasn't sure to what so I decided to explore what I did.

Some goals I definitely want to make in 2012

-At least 100 morning workouts ( I had eighty something this year). To help me keep better track of this instead of just having 1 activity column I'm now going to have a "am workout and "pm workout" column.

-I will set a monthly goal but I'm going to focus more on weekly minutes. My minutes per week if you look at them range from 565 to 105 and everywhere in the middle. So I think I'm going to make a 300 minute/week goal and stick to it.

-I also want to work on miles. I will be setting a mile goal for the year and I might do a fun 100 day challenge in the summer where I try to boost the miles for a couple months while I'm running. My miles range from 5.98 to 36.8. So you can defintely tell when I was training..haha. I think my yearly goal should be somewhere around 250. And that might change if I decide not to run.

The biggest thing I'm going to work on is food. I can exercise all I want but unless I'm eating better I'm never going to lose weight. Now that I've learned this I need to practice it. I have done better lately..I've been cooking more, eating more fruits/veggies and I started doing the "5 small meals" thing w/ the protein shakes. At some point I have to have a "Aha" moment about the food and suddenly "get it." I just have to do it for more than a week.

I am only going to weigh myself 1 time a week. I'm going to take my measurements on the 1st of every month. And it's just a point of reference. Because in September of 2013 I might want to look back at what I weighed in April of 2011 to look for trends or correlations. Like..I know I started the year at 220 and now I'm 240. But next year is going to be different. I'm going to learn from my mistakes and make firm moves so the scale moves in the OTHER direction. I have realistic goals set. My total goal is to lose 60 lbs but I'm dividing it into 3 separate 20 lb goals so I don't get overwhelmed. And it might end up only being 40 or 50 depending on what I look like when 40 is done! I really just want to be below 200. That is my goal for 2012.

ok, that is enough for now. If I have anymore ideas I'll be back to jot them down. This is my "go to" blog until it's time for the real thing!

Like Chalene says "you can do all the exercise you can but until you start eating right it won't work". I hope you have a successful 2012 and reach your weight goals! Report Inappropriate Comment

I am sorry to hear that your scale moved in the incorrect direction, but it seems like you've learned a lot over the past year so that is . The more you learn and the more you know, the closer you get to your ultimate goal. On a Facebook fitness group that I belong to one lady posted two pictures of herself side by side - the total weight loss was only 5-1/2 pounds, but she definitely looked amazing. So, the scale shouldn't be our only goal as you've indicated in your blog. Andrea. I've been trying to incorporate more strength into my fitness minutes and I think I am beginning to see improvement. Good luck my friend and any new ideas you come up with I look forward to reading about. I miss chatting with you on the teams. Report Inappropriate Comment

For me, I do quarterly goal. I'm not good with keeping yearly goal as the main reason: lose focus too quickly! Good luck with 2012! Report Inappropriate Comment

Plan for rest of week 12-7 to 12-10

Wednesday, December 07, 2011

I started out Monday so well..exercise in the morning and everything. Then b/c of work issues I got just really frustrated, mad, sad and every emotion. I didn't exercise Tuesday and came home from work and slept.

Well now it's Wednesday and I can either say pffft the week is almost over or I can get back up say it's just now 1/2 over and get on with it. I'm choosing the latter.

Here is my Wed-Sat schedule:

Wed- Tonight I'm going to the barn. I'm hoping to make it quick and come home and do either 1/2 of chest/ back or 6week6pack.

Thurs- Do either chest/back or 6w6p (whatever one I don't do tonight) in the morning and then step at night

Fri- I'm thinking about doing Pure Cardio in the morning. I want to go to kick at 5:30 but I have a feeling they are going to make me work late again b/c we have 2 people off. So much for having 8-5 hours! So I will get the workout out of the way and kick will be bonus if I get to go!

Sat- Definitely going to barn. I might go to centergy at 10am at spiece. That can be my yoga for the week :)

So there is the plan, I will not give up on this week!

December goals/plan

Monday, December 05, 2011

I had a sparkmail invite to join a group that is stating their goals for December fitness minutes wise and that kind of made me realize I hadn't really set any December goals! What is the last month of the year w/o goals?

And on a side note I'm better than yesterday. I had alot of things bogging me down the past week that I have since figured out. I did my TF30 and did Shoulders/Arms this morning. I really love having my dry erase board in my room where I list the workouts I want to do for the week and then cross them off! I mean does it really matter the order? Not so much. And I have also realized that I'm not going to try to plan all of 2012. From now on no matter how tempting it is I'm doing 3-4 months at a time. Because let's face it..what I want to do in Dec 2011 might not be what I want to do in June 2012. And I want to focus on the workouts that are fun, motivating and get me results! So that just means I'll be planning and replanning the next 3 months..haha.

I do feel back on track..I have a nice exercise schedule, I have a good buddy that is keeping me motivated (I totally underestimated what a buddy could do)!, my eating is back under control and I'm back to morning workouts so yay!

One thing I really like about myself is even when I fall off the wagon for a couple days I kind of give myself a mental smack and get myself back on track.

So here are my December goals (December being the 4th-31st)

1. 1,000 fitness minutes
2. Complete first month of my p90x hybrid schedule
3. log my food and stay in calorie range
4. get up in the morning @ least 10 days
5. check in w/ my BSG group
6. Hopefully get back in the 220's. I think if I'm really good I could do it!

That's it but it helps to write them down and then I can always come back to review them if I need more motivation!

I like what you said about this month's goals could be different next month. Variety is definitely the "spice of life" for most of us when it comes to becoming/staying healthy. Sounds like good goals. Good luck. Report Inappropriate Comment
