Losing My Fat Butt: July 2008

On August 1, 2008 I will start the Walk Away the Pounds videos. I’m going to work out/walk to them every day for 30 days. I will start with the one mile and hopefully in a couple of weeks move up to the 4 mile one. I am going to stick with the eating that I’m doing now based on the ABS Diet and You On a Diet. I will continue to put good food/fuel into my body to heal it and make it stronger and lean. I’m also going to add a multivitamin with pro-biotics to my nutrition plan and maybe add vitamin D, if the multi-vitamin doesn’t cover it. If I keep to the plan all during the week then I can pick a meal on Saturday or Sunday to eat what ever I was craving during the week. I will be done with this challenge on August 30, 2008.

September 1, 2008 - I will start Slim in 6 ® with the matron of masochism Debbie Siebers. I will need to order copies of her DVDs because my old ones were scratched by some little kids that live with me and call me “mom”. I’m going to keep up with my eating plan and give myself a meal on Saturday as a free day, but I will work out on the elliptical at Prairie Life on Sat & Sun for at least 30 min. I should be done with this goal by Oct 13, 2008.

Oct 14, 2008 - I’m going to start P90 with Tony Horton – Bring it Tony! I want a beach body. I think I still have my BIL’s DVDs, but if I don’t then I will order them. This is an investment in me and I will give myself every opportunity to be successful and not set up roadblocks. I’m going to continue eating healthy food and fueling my body with good nutrients, to both heal and strengthen my physical, mental, emotional and spiritual being. I will give myself one meal pass a week, so if it’s Thanksgiving I’ll have it for one meal, Christmas and parties same deal. But if stall out or start to slip, then I will need to kick up my physical fitness and cut back on the free days until things can stabilize again. If people give me shit about that or say it is unhealthy or an eating disorder – I will tune them out like a whining child. They can say it but I need to not allow it to sway me from my course. I know what is best for my body and I’ve seen what happens when I have let people’s comments affect me. I will also buy a swim suit in November and take my kids swimming at Prairie Life after I’ve done my 45 min on the elliptical Saturdays and Sundays. I should be done with Tony and P90 and ready to dump him for another hot sweaty body by Jan 11, 2008 .

Jan 2009 – I’ll finish out the P90 workouts and keep up with my healthy eating and taking my vitamins. I will then sign up and join Farrell’s and do the 10 week body challenge. I’m not sure when they will start so it may overlap with my P90. If that is the case then I’ll stop the P90 and do Farrell’s. If there is a gap in between P90 and Farrell’s then I will just use Prairie Life and do the circuit weight training and elliptical until the Farrell’s challenge starts. I should be done somewhere around the second or third week of March 2009. My big goal here is to be in good enough shape that I’m not embarrassed to put on a swim suit and we will take our boys to the Kalahari water park for spring break. While I’m on spring break, I will take my P90 or Slim in Six videos and workout.

March 2009 – After I’ve finished the Farrell’s challenge then I will work out at Prairie Life alternating between cardio and weights for six weeks. During those six weeks I will pick at least two group exercise classes to attend. One of the classes I will try is the spinning cycle class. I’m also going to start running for at least 2 miles per day in preparation for the 20K Dam to Dam in May. This plan should carry me through until the end of April.

May 1, 2009 – I will be in the best shape of my life. I will feel healthy and strong and continue to look forward to life and making every day count. May will be a training month for running the Dam to Dam. I will continue with my resistance training, but cardio will alternate between kick boxing Farrells/P90 type exercise and running. After the Dam to Dam is over, I will start preparing for the Colorado Fourteener climb that DH and I will do the last week of June 2009.

July 2009 – I will start the Turbo Jam DVD. I will continue to supplement my cardio and resistance as needed by working out at Prairie. We should be in kick ass shape by the time the third week of July rolls around and we head to the sugar colored beaches of Alabama to spend a week playing with our family. It will then be a year nearly to the day that I made this plan. I will then map out my next year’s plan for fitness and continuing to challenge myself to be who I want to be.

***I am hereby committing to this plan as a contract with myself for the next 12 months.****
