So this week I've done some soul searching. Like what do I really want as goals, and what do I really want to do for workouts.
And while I've got lots, and I mean LOTS of workout DVDs I have almost no desire to actually do them. Oh, I'll do one here and there, mostly if I want to take it easier, or a cardio one. But to actually, say, do a Cathe rotation, or a Firm rotation, I've got about a 5% desire to do that.
Now, lifting weights, this is what I'm drawn to. So that's what I'm going to do. The hard part was to figure out what program I want to do.
I literally spent hours looking at all the programs I've got, either in book form, or online. I really thought about doing one called Up and Down Mass by Jim Stoppani. Its a very solid program. I also looked at a few other programs by Jim Stoppani, but a lot of them involved either equipment I don't have at my home gym set up, or going back and forth between moves that again, is harder with my small home gym set up.
Then I looked at my books Strong Glutes, but well, while yes, I want to build a butt, I also want to do more than just that. I also looked at my New Rules of Lifting, and New Rules of Lifting for Women, but I'm not feeling those programs.
Then in a Facebook group I belong to, Thinner Leaner Stronger, after the book written by Michael Matthews, they asked if anyone was starting soon. Now I've done the first phase of the program a couple times, and actually liked the program. One time I quit cause we moved and another I just flaked out.
So this weekend I'm doing a reread of this,
The Thinner Leaner Stronger book and going over the workout program. Right now I'm going to lift 3 days a week just to get back into it. And I'd like to spin 1 to maybe 2 days a week. Then as I get back to the swing of things, move up to 4 days of lifting. And there is a really cool group of ladies all starting with in a week of me starting, so we are going to cheer each other on as we go though this journey. That's going to be really nice to have women cheering each other on.
And cause I can I ordered these.
I mean look at them! Are they not the best! I sure think so.
I'm also going to enjoy a little bit of a splurge eating wise, this weekend. Hubby is off going to Tenn. to help his sister move back to Iowa. So I'm babysitting the 2 girls alone which I'm very thankful for playpens, and the movie Lilo and Stitch😁 Maybe tomorrow we might watch Moana or Encanto. Then I'll read my book, and set up a fitness planner. Look for pictures in my next blog. I think I'm both gonna go back to something I've used before and add new things to it
I've also set up a new food tracker Cronometer. I've head really good things about it, that its a little more accurate than My Fitness Pal. I need to add more of my recipes to it cause that will make tracking much easier.
And on Sunday, the dreaded measurements and starting pictures will be taken. 😭 But then I hope in 8 weeks I'll see a big change, or at least a change in the right direction. That's the plan and the goal anyway
