My next goal
Last night I spoke to Julofthenile on how I plan on getting to my goal of a 6 pack (or something that resembles a 6 pack) by my 40th… in 6 weeks. I know that my diet will be crucial! I will need to eat clean and limit my carb intake… and it may become non-existent my last week. I also know that my body responds well to cardio so I will need to up my cardio, bringing it to at least an hour every day and by the end, up it even more. 6 weeks is only half of what I did for the last challenge, so it is doable. I took last week off and today is my first day of my second challenge.
I noticed on goforitnicks blog how she would have goals for the week. I like that idea and I think I will try it. So here they are.
I will drink at least 10 glasses of water daily. Drink 1 cup of green tea and avoid picking food… no let me restate that, WILL NOT pick off food from my kids plates! They either eat it or it goes in the garbage… not my mouth! (just one week off and I pick up old habits again)
I will do 1 hours worth of cardio during the day.
I will get up early and get to the gym… back into my routine (one week off and excuses were easy to come up with)
Don’t want to overdo it with goals for the week. I want to make sure that I accomplish them.
Oh… I also saw that "weightsandwords" set goals to do push ups and pull ups… I gave the challenge to my hubby so we will start May 1st with that. 1000 push ups in a month (32 push ups a day + 1 extra on May 31), I just want to be able to do a pull up by the end of the month. For every 1 pull up I do, he has to do 5. I’m gonna be ordering a pull up bar this week. He is competitive so I figure this is one way to get the boy to exercise. He is a busy boy, he teaches so even when he gets home there is still work to do. I hit the gym really early, and I’ve told him that he can workout in the evening, but he gets caught up with everything and he never does. Push ups and pull ups he can do anytime and won’t take long. We may add crunches to the mix too. What would be a good goal for that? 1,500? 3,100?
Well that’s it for now. I also plan on going on Juls workout schedule, so maybe I can build some muscle during all this… NO! One goal at a time… 6 pack!
Ok - now I am done. I will post on how well I’ve done with my drinking and cardio. Today I worked back and tris and did 35 minutes of cardio on the elliptical. Need to get another 1/2 hour in tonight.
Ciao!

So did you get the 1/2 hr cardio done tonight?
Yea, when I did cardio twice a day three times a week, the weight fell off. At first it was like, ‘come on, COME ON’.. but then…it was glorious. So yea, try to do as much as you fit in.
Oh the hubbies, how will we ever motivate them?
