Ok..

Alright, so I said that I would post my workout plan yesterday. Well, I didn't. So there! :)

I was gonna work out this morning, but after FINALLY falling asleep around 1:30, there was no way that I could drag myself out of bed at 5:45, work out, and go through a full 9-hr day. NO WAY! So, I basically told myself If you choose not to work out in the morning, well you're getting your ass to the gym after work. Get over it. You're gonna do it.

Anyway...here's the plan:

Monday/Wednesday/Friday

1. 10 minute warm-up on bike (which I found out that I can do about 2.5 miles in 10 minutes)
2. Chest Press (40 lbs, 15 reps)
3. Weight Squats (140 lbs, 10 reps feet apart, 10 together)
4. Seated Row (70 lbs, 15 reps)
5. Repeat 2-4 three times
6. 15 minutes on Elliptical
7. Lunges (20 lbs, 10 reps each leg)
8. Standing Shoulder Press (35 lbs, 10 reps)
9. 15 minutes on treadmill
   
• 3% incline at 2.5 mph for 3 minutes
• 10% incline at 2.5 mph for 2 minutes
• 3% incline at 5.0 mph for 2 minutes (This kills me..I'm so not a runner yet!!)
• 10% incline at 2.5 mph for 1 minute
• 5% incline at 3.0 for 1 minute
• 1.5% incline at 2.o mph for 2 minutes

Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday

30 minutes of cardio (I love this because I can switch it up so I don't get bored!)

I get one day off a week...I am ok with that.


I need to set a goal, so that I can achieve the goal!! I'd like to say that I'd like to be at 200 lbs by summertime, but I'm just not sure about that. That's approximately 40 lbs to be lost.


On the work tip...

I've got some big things coming up over the next few weeks that will ultimately leave me stressed to the core. So, the biggest short-term goal I'm setting for myself is to NOT give in to my stress weakness: JUNK FOOD. My boss is doing a "Survivor-like" challenge with her gym, so she's not a bad influence. My other officemate is thinking about getting back on Weight Watchers/Nutrasystem, so she shouldn't' be a problem.

I just have to get motivated and focused!!

I'll be in the Chicago area next week for business. I'll be doing three full days of payroll training with the full weekend in Chicago as well. Yay for my career growth, possibly NAY for my workout plan. So, I hope my hotel will have a nice gym for me to work out at. I'll be there Wed. night through Mon night. Oh yeah..get this....My boss has decided that we are flying....yeah, flying from Indy to O'Hare. Pshh..whatever. I don't to have drive to Chicago, I get to fly, and get a rental car with NO cost to me. I guess I'll take it!! LOL

So, I figure I'll work out with my trainer Wed morning, make my boss (oh yeah, she's gonna be there for 2 of the 3 weekdays) work out with me on Thurs and Fri morning, and then get in a quick work out on Saturday and Monday. I really cannot let myself slip because I know I'll be taking in the wonderful Chicago cuisine and possibly drinks with my best friend (who lives..oh..about 20 minutes from the hotel I'll be staying at).

I'm excited to be going so that I can spend some time with my family and best friends!!!!!
