With such a horrible week last week, I decided to make realistic goals so I don't feel defeated and suffer burn-out. After much contemplation, this is what I am going to do for the next two weeks:
- Wake up at 4:30 and get a good incline walk on my treadmill with the weight belt on and set a goal of push-ups and sit-ups (3 sets of 20 alternating with no rest periods between).
- Go to work
- Come home and do the 8 minute tae bo work out that I used to do to warm up
- Tire pulls, sledge, and jumps
- limit my studying time (30 minutes)
- go to bed by 9:00
THIS is the difference...
- With regards to the walking, I don't mind waking up and doing this on my treadmill. I can also catch up on some of the shows that I missed the night before AND perhaps watch youtube lessons on gears and pulleys if I feel inclined :)
- Push ups and sit ups...it just has to be done.
- B/c I never take a lunch, I will use this time to plan my evening lesson so I'm not so aimless.
- Tae bo...i used to love this, and it will build my core and work me into a good sweat.
- THE TIRE...I am going to think of a way for me to attach a skateboard on the bottom of it. While this may sound stupid, its a way for me to feel like I am doing something without so much effort. It's a huge tire, and if I can't even pull that darn thing without killing myself, what's the point? The weight will still give me some resistance, and the slight gradual incline will help as well. I'm not sure how my husband will take this, but at this point, I'd rather work up to something than fight with tears and defeat without it.
- shower and complete my lesson (30 minutes)
- Sleep!!!
Finally, I feel hopeful.
