1. Drink lots of green tea (antioxidants and tummy fat burner)
2. Start going to spin classes, and utilize the elliptical :)
3. Get a jump rope!
This picture will serve as my motivation! Firm body, nice legs.... I am coming for you! It might not happen by Valentines Day which is what I was originally planning, but I am getting there! And if anything I think I am getting into the right mindset. I figure all of this is in my head, so if I can imagine myself with a nice firm body and follow though with my workout plan then... I WILL reach my goals!
I will admit, I haven't been keeping great track of my calories. I do find that's it is helpful with portion control, and it's nice to know and keep track of what I have been eating... but I felt that it got kind of tedious, and sometimes when I am in a hurry I forget to enter things into my phone. Well, this needs to be extinguished! No more lazy... no more assuming I am eating under my calories! Keeping track is making it's comeback starting tomorrow!
I have also put two gym classes into my calendar :) mat pilates on Sunday morning and then Yoga on Wednesday evening. An alarm will go off that makes sure I make it to these classes. And hopefully after next weekend I can talk myself into buying a jump rope. I think that will be an easy (and beneficial) workout that can be done within a few mins. if I am in a rush (which is most of the time). I also want to add that my legs are a little sore from doing small leg exercises like lunges and leg lifts while getting ready in the morning and brushing my teeth at night. YAY, go me! Alright, it's 11:15 and I did want to get some reading in before bed tonight, so an update will be coming soon :)
What a great idea! I have a jump rope in the closet and I don't use it that much because I don't really have a yard or a driveway or anything hahahaha...but I could probably go jump rope over by where I park my car. You've seen where I live and where I park. It wouldn't be a bad place to jump rope, hahaha. I know all my neighbors pretty well so it wouldn't be awkward or anything for me to be randomly jumping rope out there. All my neighbors are into working out. We have surfers, cyclists, triathletes, runners, etc. It's a good thing.
ReplyDeleteGreen tea is awesome. One of my favorites. It's expensive, but I get my green tea from Teavana. It's the best! They have different kinds. I have the pi-lo-chun (or something like that), but I want to try some of the other ones they have as well.
I totally want that body! My legs are a problem area too. I wonder what stuff would target them. Spinning class sounds good. Either that or I can just pump up the tires on my road bike and go riding around Carlsbad. That's probably better because there are real hills and stuff...plus riding by the beach is fun.
UGH. We're going to get in shape. Then you are going to come over to my place so we can strut around in bikinis at the beach. It will be amazing.
I am sooooo down for struting our bikinis on the beach! I am seriously so ready/excited for my hot hot body! haha :) p.s. I'm down to come ride bikes at the beach with you! But... I don't have a bike... maybe I could rent one? I want to come out soon... It's just really hard to find a day that works especially when I am so broke haha
