accountability...update

last week i posted my wonderful new idea of having my exercise goals on slips of paper and then removing them off my white board once i had done them. i have to say it went well. i don't know if i accomplished everything because of the white board or because i knew i would have to be accountable to all of you... it was also super interesting to feel the pressure as the week went by to get my workouts in. by thursday i didn't think i could do it, run 4miles, abs oh my!! but i did it, and by saturday when the white board was empty all except spin. i felt really good about myself and all that i had accomplished even though i really felt on tuesday i may have bit off more than i could chew. but i gradually did it!!!

i did all of this in one week!!:

run 3, abs, abs, abs, run 4, run 6, resistance, speed, run 3!! on the list but not done: spin

this week i had the same plan. except so far not so bueno! monday i was suppose to go to bodypump at the gym. my plan was to check in at 615p(get a slip cause the class fills up) run until the class started and kill myself with the barbell for 60min. well the hubs got slammed at the hosptial and didn't get home until 7p.(it normally kills him to walk through the door anytime before 615p) i didn't run earlier cause i thought i would just do it at the gym and it was cold outside for us Arizonians (a freezing 55degrees) and i didn't go to the gym when spence got home cause i hadn't seen him all day....blah.

then tuesday came and went and i still didn't make it to the gym. other obligations came up and again it was too cold to run outside with the littles.

however, today came and i snuck off the gym early 6a. .....oh its so nice spence has started a new rotation and doesn't have to leave til 745a!!! (he has been leaving at 520a....and i need sleep too much to go to the gym at 4a!!! i think that would be crazy) so i'm excited for this new month because i have a great schedule lined out, and spence will be a normal person and work 730-6p how nice i already fell so spoiled, and its today is the first day!!! so i have BIG hopes for this month...and once again i'll let you know how it goes.

first thing this month is to take my measurements again. sometimes the scale doesn't change but the thickness of my thunder thighs might just shrink, so every 2 months i measure: arms, chest, high waist, low waist, hips, thighs. a lot of the time it doesn't change but i really need to start fitting into some clothes other than sweat pants:) and i know that when i have a weigh in, or measurements that need to be taken i somehow discipline myself better.:)

so i say get get yourself a workout weekly schedule and view it often...and adjust as you need. it really helped me to see all the exercise i got in in a full week, instead of just a daily check off, its nice to see the whole week at a glance.:) good luck this week!!1
