So I hitched up my britches and called a friend, two doors down, and we made a plan. Starting this Monday we will meet on the street at 6:00 am (with a leeway window until 6:15) and work our butts out. It will be an every-other-day pattern.
Day A will be running. We will be doing the First Day to 5k series. I used this back in January to train for my May 5K. And while I should be able to do more now than I could then, I'm hoping to up my pace.
Day B will be flexible-walking or biking or whatever suits our fancy. But we're meeting EVERY day, at that awful hour.
I may even have an addition challenge for myself--weight lifting. Lord knows I need it!
More than that, I'm going to stop putting bad things into my body. (Eew, okay, that sounds gross). What I mean is, I'm going to eat good things. It's not like I don't have the time now to make healthy things. But, NO guilt trips just goodness.
Care to join us? I'm weighing my arse on Monday and keeping track. I'm sticking to the thought Jillian Michaels has shared on The Biggest Loser-if you're burning more than you're taking in, you should be losing. I can do that.
Sounds like a good plan! I did similar and shed 70 lbs...so I know eating better and less and exercising works! My mantra when having to get way early was this: "I can be tired and fat or tired and healthy. Either way, I'm gonna be tired." That helped me get up early to exercise.
