How’s it going?

Well it looks like I’m a day late to the game.  Everyone else seems to have gotten their “oh my God it’s already February” posts up yesterday…but I had too much other good stuff to report!  I am here now though.

Yes, it’s February.  So I guess that means we talk about January.  How did we all make out with the first month of goals/resolutions/etc?  Everyone still on board?  Hope so!!

I didn’t tell you all, but I gave myself a little challenge…a sticker challenge!  Funny how exciting giving myself a sticker for each completed workout can be, but it is!  If it can work for Shirls it can work for the rest of us, right?  :)

So ya…look at that bad boy!!  Not only did I make it to EVERY SINGLE ONE of my planned workouts, but that last week I rocked a couple of EXTRAS.  *dances around*  Go me!!

I’m telling ya people, make a plan.  It’s really the answer!!

My plan (Wed, Fri & Sun are new additions):

Monday	Cardio + abs
Tuesday	Day 2 – Intro to Iron
Wednesday	Booty Camp Fitness DVD
Thursday	Day 3 – Intro to Iron
Friday	rest or DVD
Saturday	Day 1 – Intro to Iron + Cardio
Sunday	rest or warm yoga

Enough to burn a ton of calories, tone and get strong, build my cardio strength and rest when I need it…all without getting bored!

(It does help that I get up at least 3 days a week to drive FH to work…so I have that extra push to get to the gym.)

I’ve been at this for a few years now, and this is the first time I really feel like I have a good handle on the fitness part of my journey.  It’s incredibly motivating and invigorating!!! 

So let’s keep that ball rolling for February, shall we?!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So obviously I was up and at ‘em this morning to do Day 2 – Week Three of Intro to Iron.  Quick 10 minute run to warm up.  Finished with a couple of added planks, and 10 minutes on the Stairmaster.  I hate that thing…so boring after more than 5 minutes!  But my butt likes it so I guess it’s a compromise I’m willing to make.  LOL.

Freaking chilly outside this morning (-24 with the windchill) so i was happy to come straight home to the coffee pot.

And oats!  I had planned something different but I really wanted oats, so oats I had!  :)

In fact, it’s OIAJ!!

In the pot:  unsweetened vanilla Almond Breeze, water, whole oats, 1/2 banana, 2 tsp flax meal…with graham cracker crumbs and mini chocolate chips stirred in at the end.

In an empty PB jar, with the last spoonful of PB on top!  Nom!!

Busy day today.  I Christen this to be “multitask like a badass” day.

…and GO!!
