I’m 2 weeks into a 6-week challenge that I set for myself. It consists of 4 workouts a week:
- Swim – alternating weeks of long swims and sprint workouts
- Run – slowly building on my running distance. I made it 2.25 miles yesterday with an additional 0.25 miles after walking a bit.
- Biking – slowly building up on distance on the stationary bike at the gym. I finished 9.25 miles this past week.
- Jillian Michaels 6 week Six-Pack – this one is the one I procrastinate the most. I sweat, a lot.
This past week was a bit crazy at work with very long days and late, long dinners out so I had to end the week with three workouts in a row. Friday – Swim, Saturday – Run and Sunday (today) – Jillian. I am sore and tired and definitely need a recovery day tomorrow.
Oh did I mention I set some rewards for completing each week’s worth of workouts? My childhood piano teacher calls this “Set Goals, Get Goals” It’s nice to be able to motivate myself to run that extra 1/4 mile with the reward I have planned! The first two week’s rewards were some new make-up. I think this week coming up will be a new Sweaty Bands since having new workout gear always motivates me to want to workout again.
