Revisit Boot Camp?

Phase II

Day 15

Sunday is CHORE day here....

So I am in my bedroom *decluttering* when I come across my Curves Boot Camp Results....

I was (am) so pleased with my results!  EVERYONE who participated in our Boot Camp saw awesome results!  I tweaked the program that was sent out by Curves, International.  The way it was designed by corporate was a bit boring, and did not even REMOTELY resemble a *boot camp*.  It had the usual and expected "3xs a Week" workouts,  "Bring a Friend", etc....we wanted to do MORE...

We incorporated the new and improved Weight Management program.  It is awesome!  We also incorporated the "+30" activity....30 min addition activity throughout the day...this is prescribed in our Weight Management Program ;-)  Here is what OUR boot camp looked like on the calendar:

 Pretty intense, huh?

All of the activities on the calendar were MANDATORY.

So here I am looking at this, knowing what I need to do.

I have gained a couple of pounds on Phase II...this is typical.  Phase III will mean me maintaining that gain...also fine, because Phase III is a lot of fun ;-)  But after that, I really want to get my body fat down lower.  I hit that wall of 145 and stop...I just STOP.  I sabotage myself, I push the nutrition envelope, I zone out during my workouts....

I know I am there again :-(

Focus...I need FOCUS. 

I need another

The first thing I need to do is schedule a WEEKLY Weigh and Measure with Krissy.  Krissy is good for me. She knows my goals and is brutally honest with me.  She knows I need that....she lives a healthy and active lifestyle herself.....I don't want someone to hold my hand and sympathize...I need someone to keep it real for me, and Krissy does that!

Next, I need to get SERIOUS about my food journal.  Journaling WORKS. PERIOD.  I also need to SHOW that journal to Krissy or a member at Curves who will hold me accountable....maybe Amy would do that for me?  She keeps the most accurate and honest food journal I have seen from a a member...

Then I need to schedule my workouts, workout with INTENSITY (meaning NO chit chat and NO INTERRUPTIONS), and get it DONE before it conflicts with the family's schedules....

This is a little trickier....if there was another Curves close, I would travel to a club I do not work at for my workouts.  This would ensure that I wouldn't be interrupted by staff or members.  That is not an option.....

I might try working out after hours....now THAT'S a joke!  I am exhausted by that time, and trying to have family time...so that is not an option, either.

My Schedule changes tomorrow:  I open EVERYDAY.  As it is I am up at 4:30 to get showered and ready, plus have a cup of coffee and read email, etc.

What to do?

I am going to workout BEFORE my shift starts.  How am I going to accomplish this?

Here is the plan:

TONIGHT: get everything ready:  coffee programmed, workout clothes laid out, work clothes packed in gym bag (I can't work in sweaty, stinky clothes...can I?), food prepared and ready to pack...get to bed at a decent hour.  I thought about showering, but I REALLY need a shower to wake up!

TOMORROW: up at 4:30am, quick shower, grab food, fill thermos at the club by 5am...workout and get changed and at least a 1/2 c coffee in me before I flip the CLOSED sign over to OPEN.

That's my uninterrupted Curves Workout Plan....

What about my +30's?

I gotta keep it interesting....and so I will be building my own Boot Camp Calendar for the next 12 weeks....stay tuned for that one ;-)
