It’s time to ramp up my workouts and really watch my food intake. I’ve gained a bit of weight this year and it’s not something I’m happy with. So, I’m going to go back 100% into workout/calorie-counting mode. Yes, I’ve been tracking and counting my food pretty much forever now, but I think I need to completely cut off treats like my Saturday frappucinno. I am pretty darn tight on my calories Sunday through Friday, but maybe it’s just those calories on my cheat day that are doing me in.
Also, I’m going to really rev up my workouts. True, I did this with the IronMAYhem challenge in May, but I feel I need to bring some of that push back. With the exclusion of the frapps and all on Saturday, hopefully it will push me back into weight loss mode. Spending more time in the gym, it’s gotta happen. The running will remain at 3x a week, as I know I can get some good speed work in on two out of those three days.
Schedule is going to tentatively look like this:
SUNDAY – Cross-training and upper-body strength
MONDAY – Cross-training
TUESDAY – Running (speedwork)
WEDNESDAY – Cross-training and lower body strength
THURSDAY – Running (speedwork on the track)
FRIDAY – Rest day
SATURDAY – Long run day
I’d like to get back into some of my workout DVDs as well, maybe on a cross-training day. I have a number of great workouts that I know will help me achieve my goals. I need to get things moving more, but also be aware of my sleep, as I know that’s also important. I’m going to blog more about the journey as well, may do some video blogs, not sure, as I tend to have less consistency with vlogging. 🙂
