Wow! Where did the year go???
Today I looked at the calendar and realized I literally have 2 months until my 27th birthday.. now I know to a lot of you it seems still quite young.. but the time has just flown by! I make it a point to be in better shape every year from the past one since about my 21st birthday. Yes, that means every year I take it to the next level.. and although I have had my chocolate cake moments I don’t seem to regress during the year to the point where the progress made by my birthday matches the year before. Its always better, stronger, faster, more durable and yes, always a sense of accomplishment.
Now, realizing this… knowing I am 2 months and literally 8 1/2 weeks out its time to really kick some hiney!!! The past month has been filled with power-filled training already but I am gonna kick it up another notch - not only in my training but in my mental state, financial state and so fourth. What does this mean?
Clean meal planning and prep the day before.
No mo cocktails and bowling.. just bowling : )
Continuing with the "kick yo ass" training regimin I have been on the past week:
6 Day Count
Day 1: Full Body circuit training with another bootcamp style trainer (we kick each other’s asses, its a love/hate thang) + low impact cardio 20-45 min
Day 2: 1 hour spinning class, abs and hot yoga (60-75 min in 90 degree + temps)
Day 3: Chest/Tri, Abs + 2 mile run & very mild low impact cardio (walking the d-o-g for 30+ min)
Day 4: Back/Bi + 1 hour spinning class
Day 5: Abs, hot yoga, legs + 20 min low impact cardio
Day 6: Run your ass off as fast and as far as you can.. break and do it again 6 times over
Day 7: Active rest
NOW mental health wise..financial wise
No mo shopping for the sake of shopping, because its raining, because i’m bored, or because this shade of green isnt quite what I pictured (shoes are the worst for me!)
No mo 12 hour days at work.. and my days off I will laugh and have more fun… quite possibly I may do one last shopping trip and buy bubbles, hula hoops, super-soakers and anything else that holds the promise of fun in the sun I can find!
I’m gonna need some cheerleaders folks so pull out those pompoms!!!

I like the idea of being better than a year before. It’s an annual self assessment and plan of action. It’s a little more systematic and ilike that and might snag the idea. . . .congrats on getting there and good luck in the comming year. Happy very early B-day!
