So after the revelations from my last post, which was made after my swim last Tuesday, I had a week to refocus and decide what I was going to do. I did the half last Monday, swam with Jeff on Tuesday, forced myself onto the treadmill Wednesday, ran with Jeff on Thursday, yoga on Friday and did a swim while camping on Saturday. All in all, not a bad week, but there's no real strength building there for one. My arms were actually sore on Wednesday from the swim, hello? Not so bad on Sunday from Saturday's swim, but it didn't feel quite as much of a work out at Tuesday did. And to make matters worse, I gained weight. I swear everytime I do an event I gain weight the week after because I reward myself with really unhealthy food.
So to get started again: Today's weight was 157.4lbs and my BMI is 30.7 which counts as obese.
I've laid out a plan for the week and thankfully the Biggest Loser and Survivor start this week which are always great to work out to.
Monday: I calibrated my new Nike+ sensor finally so I have two, one for each pair of shoes. Then I ran 2.3 miles at a pace of 13:02/mile
After that I got started on the Gleason Gym Boxing Workout for Women. I've completed the 4 week program before and did lose weight and the punishment I get to unleash on the bag is great so I'm up for doing it again. I did the week one, day one workout today which included:
6' jumping rope
3' of running the cross, 1' rest
3' of running the circle, 1' rest
3 x 8 jump squats
3 x 5 alligator pushups
3 x 10 side scissors
3 x 10 crunches
Accomplished it all in under 1.5 hours.
Tomorrow's goal will include yoga at lunch, then while watching the newest season of the Biggest Loser...a 30' run, then week one, day two of the boxing workout. And no more weighing in until I've completed the four week program.
