Today, I start a new exercise regimen. A hardcore one. One that will bring me exactly where I want to be, in a body that I am happy and proud of (unlike right now). My number one goal is to be able to run in the Great Wall of China in 2017. Until now, I was rarely running, just kept on walking fast, in order to build streight in my legs. Now, I start running, It will be hard and painful and I might not get very far at first but I am going to get it done.
Exercise regimen, 6 times a week:
- run 1km, intervals, total time 30 minutes
- 30 days arms challenge
- 30 days abs challenge
- 30 days squats challenge
- 30 days plank challenge
- 30 days back challenge
- 30 days butt challenge
- 30 days thigh challenge
- 30 days triceps challenge
- 30 days wall sit challenge
- 30 days lunges challenge
- 30 days crunches challenge
- yoga
I know, I am going to be extremely sore and exausted for a few weeks. I know I am putting a lot of my body but that is how I do things. I am going to try this out for a week and see how I feel. If it ends up being too much (meaning I am so tired, I cannot get anything else done), I will split this up. But, I really do not want to. I want to see results and I want to see them now.
I will also want to use my bike a bit before snow comes (which could very well be in about a month). And I will keep on walking because walking is very important to me. Something I have been doing for years, with and without my kids and that is something I will keep on doing.
Eating habits: Bad. I had what I hope was my last bag of potato chips yesterday. That is my only craving and it is a bad habit that I have had for far too long. It stops now, though. I also need to start eating three meals and three snacks a day, as I once did. Being hungry is what makes me want to eat chips so this is something I absolutely need to avoid.
Breakfast: bowl of mini-wheats, vitamin D supplement
Snack: peach, omega 3 supplement
Lunch: vegetable soup with bruchetta
Snack: veggie & garlic dip, multi vitamin supplement
Dinner: lasagna, ceasar salad, garlic bread, chocolate cake
Before bedtime snack: almonds, probiotics supplement
Now, I do not have a sweet tooth so eating dessert everyday is not something big. I never over indulge. I usually eat a couple of bites then I am done. I always have a child willing to empty my plate though so no waste, lol.
Wonder if I will have the energy to get things done around the house. You know, the usual 10 loads of laundry, dishes, emptying my bedroom, painting my bedroom, painting my bedroom furniture, putting my bedroom back together, installing new curtains in my bedroom. Yeah, theme of the day, bedroom make over. I think this will help me stay more positive and happy. I still have a few things to buy but, if all goes well, it should mostly get done today. I do want to paint a black tree with birds over my bed and hang some pictures of my kids, something like this;
I need to get started, will update hopefully tonight, if I can still move, lol.
