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 ;-)
