Not An Auspicious Start But It’s A Start

This weekend was quite phenomenal and I have no pictures to show for it!

As part of my wedding plans I decided that every other month I’d have the wedding party, my Mom and future Mother-in-law over to get caught up on what’s been going on with wedding plans and what needs to get done over the next couple of months. I decided I would host it at my house and make lots of yummy goodies just as a small token of thanks to the women who will be doing the majority of the work for my wedding! We had a great time chatting and planning!

So far, we have a venue, caterer, florist and photographer! At this point we just need an officiant and all of the important things are covered for now! Later this week I’ll talk a bit more about how I snagged two amazing deals that saved me almost a thousand dollars!

 

My 2012 Fitlosophy – Week 1

Today starts day 1 of my three month health and fitness goals using the FitBook that I talked about on Friday! To recap, my goals are to work out 5x per week, watch portions at dinner, perform 50 non-modified push-ups and lose 20lbs in the process!

Now, FitBook also utilizes a rewards system which I LOVE! They encourage you to pick an overall reward that you get at the end of the 12 weeks as well as weekly incentive goals. Over the weekend I decided that my ultimate goal is to get the new tattoo I’ve been wanting for about a year!

 

Week 1 Goals & Stats

Workout goal: Continue to work out even when Alan’s off all week

Nutrition: No overeating at dinner at least 3 days this week

Other: Set alarm for 7am

Rewards: Get a new pair of pants!

Workouts for the week (all TurboFire):

Mon. – HIIT 30 Class + Upper 20 Class

Tues. – Fire 60 Class + Abs 10

Wed. – HIIT 30 Class + Lower 20

Thurs. – Fire 55 Class + Abs 10

Fri. – HIIT 30 + Sculpt 30

Sat. – Yoga

Sun. – Rest

How did today go so far? Well, I had a bit too much wine yesterday and totally forgot to set my alarm so I certainly didn’t start the week off right! I woke up completely dehydrated so I made sure to drink water all throughout the day. When I did get to my workout I still had quite a sensitive tummy so although I still gave what I could, I had to pass on the plyometrics and burpees!

Dinner was simple as I didn’t feel like cooking! A mushroom and swiss omelette with grilled zucchini and some bread!

Finally, I planned to do an initial push-up test today but forgot until I had finished my intervals and was already on to my strength workout so I will do it tomorrow when my arms are fresh!
What’s your biggest health and/or fitness goal this year and what are you doing to stay on track?

    Not health related, but seeing your pic of the FitBook open and you talking about the wedding made a memory click. When my coworker’s daughter got married she kept a binder with lots of sheet protectors, pockets and blank paper in it and she used that for ALL of her wedding planning. That way everything was organized in the various tabs and all information relating to that specific thing was in one place. Easy to find, easy to use. Says it really helped her out immensely especially since she didn’t hire a wedding planner either. Just something that I remembered and wanted to pass along to you. Although knowing you, you’ve already created a super organized system of your own! LOL

    Good job on the goals! You’re doing great!!! (I’m going to keep paying attention to how this book works for you…if you endorse it I just might have to try it myself!)
