March in Review & Plans for April

I checked out my training log and I worked out 25 out of the 31 days of March. That’s actually pretty freakin good if I may say so myself. I ended up not getting anything accomplished yesterday and since I said I was going to exercise every day in some form or another for the next 12 weeks (Loretta’s Spring Challenge), I’m not sure where that puts me as I’ve kind of failed that one already.  I posted yesterday that I walked at lunch and that was my intent when I published the post. I got up, put my shoes on, headed towards the door and got stopped by a co-worker and had to actually work on something. Imagine the nerve of him interupting my personal walking time to work while at work :)  Hee hee....  I am not going to take it too deeply because some days I’ve been exercising TWICE. That’s gotta count for something right? And starting next week, there is going to be LOTS of double dipping.

I am going to measure and weigh in on Saturday but I KNOW that I have not done well in that area. With messing up with the food the second week of March and then struggling to recover ever since, my numbers are either going to be the same, or up. I’m hoping for the same. So even though I felt a little rough about myself in March, I think I did OK. Lots of room for improvement and that’s what I am going to work on this month.

So now on to April:

As of Monday, I have 4 weeks until I leave for Mazatlan. That’s 32 days of kicking my ass into some kind of bathing suit shape. And so my plan is going to be pretty intense. Hopefully this ole body can keep up.

My April Plans:

• M/W/F –  Hot Yoga (90 Minutes) – I’ve also got to start walking 4-5 Miles a couple times during the week somewhere in here. Might be lunch time or after the Yoga sessions in the evening.
• Tu/Thu –  45 min Walk/Jog Session early a.m. with co-worker (she’s also my boss J).
• Tu/Thu –  20 min warm up on some kind of machine, then 60 minutes with my PT after work.
• Sa/Sun  –  1x30-45min C25K training session PLUS get in as much outdoor walking as I can because I’m training for a 100K in September. I also have to work in another Strength training session in here somewhere. I like to work the muscles at least 3 times a week. I’ve got to really strengthen my core/legs so that I can do all this walking.

Now we all KNOW that the above is going to wear me out big time. So there are going to be days where I’m just not going to want to do anything. My body already feels tight and sore in places I forgot I had muscles. I’m doing lots of stretching and the Hot Yoga is certainly helping, but since it in itself is also a workout, I get stiff from those sessions too! I think somewhere in here, I need to see a massage therapist weekly for awhile.  32 days from now, I can sit on my fanny for 7 days (more or less).

And because of the workout schedule, I MUST make sure I eat to fuel my body in the correct way. It’s going to need the right kind of nutrients to keep up with what I want to do with it.

This is going to be an interesting learning month!

Hope everyone has a FANTASTIC day!
