Well it's just after 11:30pm and I've just finished my circuits! Why so late? Because I kept putting it off and putting it off; but then in the end I said to myself: NO, I've got a goal to meet (3500 calories for the week) and I'm still 200 odd shy of it. So I made up an abs circuit, I set the intervals to a manageable time limit (30 seconds) and I went for it! 46 minutes and 381 calories later I'd busted my goal!
So this shows how important it is to set goals! And on that note, I'm gonna go ahead and set a tentative plan for next week:
Monday: Dog walk/ run ............. PM gym session
Tuesday: Spinning ............... Dog walk/run or DVD
Wednesday: Dog walk/ run or DVD ................... a Yasmin circuits special
Thursday: Spinning ............... DVD
Friday: Circuits ...................... Swim
Saturday: Dog walk/ Run ............ a Yasmin circuits special
I'm going to:
EXERCISE:
1. Change up my goal this week to getting in 350 minutes instead of 3500 calories (they should both bring about the same amount of exercise, just it's a different way to record and monitor things!)
2. Double up: I'm gonna try for 2 workouts one in the morning and one in the evening (even if it's just splitting up my regular routines) FitSugar says: Working out twice in one day will burn more calories, curb your hunger, and work your muscles double time. Not only will you feel better about how you look, but you'll also have more energy and sleep better (so I might as well give it a try and change up my routine a bit!)
Food:
1. Pre make lunches
2. have a vague outline of what tea will be (We've had take out nearly every night this week!!! How did that happen? No planning!)
Non food/ exercise:
1. Write a to do list each night before bed
2. Pack my bags the night before (ie gym bag and hand bag and over night bag if applicable!)
Right, it's only 23 minutes until next week so here I go!!!!!
