November 30-Day Challenge!!

I proposed a 30- day challenge to all my bb girls a couple of days ago on our Facebook Body Back Page!  The challenge is every day for 30 days you will committ DAILY to AT LEAST 30 push-ups, sit-ups, squats, bicep curls, dips AND a 1 minute plank!! This challenge begins Tuesday November 1st, tomorrow, until November 30th.  We are going to post our daily goal as well as the exceeded amount.  My hope is the we can cheer one another on and stay focused!  If you would like to join us, let me know and we can also post on our facebook page!! Seriously, if you want to accomplish any goal, accountability is certainly my motivation. ;)

I also have to tell everyone that I ran all the way around Miramar Lake on Saturday morning, approximately 5 miles!!  I was constantly fighting within myself the entire way but so very proud that I did it.  Thanks Tami and Deepa for chatting the entire time and encouraging me through it.

I signed up for the Race for the Cure 5k this coming Sunday.  I am on the Chi Chi Wahine Team that my girl Lisa formed several years ago.  She is a 10-year breast cancer survivor and I am so proud and honored to be part of her team.  Love you Lisa!!

So along with this 30 day challenge, I am committed to working out 5-6 times a week.  I am trying all sorts of new things so if you happen to come across something fun and new... let me know!!  I am up for anything!!

MUD RUN- My 1st 5K!! We are the Hot Muddy Mamas!!

The Del Mar Mud Run was last weekend and I had a blast!  I am still cleaning up the dirt in both my showers but it was so worth it!  I was very empowered by my team.  They kept me running the entire time and most importantly, kept me laughing!  Thanks again girls!!  We celebrated afterwards with a fun brunch and lots of champagne.  What a great way to spend a Saturday!!

Week Six- Body Back Exit Plan!!

I have been mulling over the details of my exit plan since the beginning of my 3rd and final session of Body Back.  What in the world am I going to do without this little cocoon of support??  How am I every going to attain a more focused fitness regime without my bb girls??  So instead of revealing in the what ifs,  I am just going to put it out there for the world to see and in turn keep my booty accountable!!  Again, please call me up for a walk, run, new class, etc…I always want to try something new!!
Annie's BB Exit Plan!!!

I will continue to strive to be in better mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual shape by challenging myself towards new goals every 8 weeks!!
            I will post my new goals
            I will blog for motivation and support
            I will post my workout schedule weekly
            I will host a food swap, inviting new and veteran bb members

 Here is my detailed plan for the next 8 weeks after BB!

1.     I have stock piled 10 Haute Yoga Classes that I will use once a week.

Thanks again Mia for the classes!!  These yoga classes take place in extreme heat and I am told melt away every bit of toxins and excess fat...I cannot wait to report.

2.     I have a 6-week unlimited membership to The Daily Method in Rancho Bernardo. I will attend classes 2-3 x’s a week.

My friend Christina from BB introduced me to this new studio and they were promoting their grand opening last weekend.  The free class I took was amazing and I was really sore in places I never knew existed, for days even.  They even provide child care!  Thanks Dad for my early Christmas present that I muscled out of you.  And Jeff thanks you too because I plan on having a sick body after all that core work!  :) 

3.     Stroller Strides at least once a week, till I can swing to purchase a monthly pass.

Jenny and I have committed doing Stroller Strides together with Sir Winston and Queen Victoria.  We will start in November.  We can workout together with our kids and get to know moms in the area.  The beauty of this workout is that you can burn 100 -800 calories, depending on your intensity and one nugget I have taken from BB is that to "always do the harder workout or challenge."  I know Jenny will call me out for sure, so I am not worried! :)  Another bonus is that I think they may start holding classes down the street in my hood, so even better and more convenient!!

4.     Thankfully, I now have a network of women who meet up on a weekly basis to get a workout in!  I will definitely tap into that resource weekly to get inspired and motivated.  This will include an early morning hike or run.  These ladies are so in shape that anytime I am able to join them, I will for sure be challenged.

5.     If all plans fail, my back-up plan is to get on the elliptical at my moms, pull out a BB DVD or get out for a quick run.

I would love to know your thoughts and if there are any holes in my plan, please enlighten me! I have 2 weeks till I am out in the real world and I plan to really ENJOY every minute of this challenge!!
