Round 4- Week #2 GOALS

Just have to say... OMG!!  I forgot how freaking hard this was!!  Body Back is such an intense program and all encompassing.  But I love it so much too!  Being challenged and pushed every time you work out is so empowering!  My attitude is so different than a year ago because then, my mind was telling me I was not strong enough or good enough to make it through.  What a difference a year makes!! Dude, I am on it and going to squeeze the sponge dry! 

My goals this session are as follows;

1.  Lose 2 inches in my waist!!!  It's all about the core and will always be about the core till the day I die or perhaps get a tummy tuck.  In the meantime, the actions steps to get me a flat belly are...
- focus on pulling my belly to my spine throughout the day and especially during workouts.
- practice "real" sit-ups, a plank for one minute and 100 crunches every day.

2. Lose 7 lbs
- eat from the food journal only
- get in 6 work outs a week

3.  Keep a positive mental attitude
-blog weekly
-make weekly goals
-schedule at least one workout with a bb buddy once a week

I am looking forward to tomorrow as it will be the first voluntary workout at Miramar Lake with my new bb peeps!  My goal is to run the entire course, which is 5 miles!!  I am not a runner and never will be, but sometimes it’s fun to see what you can do!  I am sure I will be stopping to do strength activities between each mile!!  I am excited to see who makes it!!

Again, I am so grateful for the opportunity to do this again!!  Thanks to everyone who is supporting me through!!

Its Official!! Annie is back for Body Back #4

It has been 6 months since I have posted anything!!  Like all of us, I have been busy!  Whew!!  My sweet little girl is already 18 months old.  Where does the time go? And when did I start sounding like my parents and grandparents?

I am happy to report that I have been working out consistently and keeping my eating in check for the most part.  I am getting workouts in 4-6 times a week with the help of my bb buddies and my awesome neighbor who keeps me well in check! (Thanks Trace!!)  Tori and I go to Stroller Strides (SS) at least twice a week, which has been so amazing.  I have met so many like minded moms in the process and Tori LOVES her SS buddies.  Just the other day, she was playing soccer with them and recanted the entire experience throughout the day and yet again to her daddy at bedtime!! 

But you know me; I need be challenged and told what to do when it comes to fitness, because, quite frankly, I am still a newbie!!  I love the cocoon-like support I got from previous Body Back (BB)experiences, so in a moment of insanity and clarity, I signed up for a 4th round!  I need to check-in, get a tune-up, and set some new goals.  The timing was right and stars aligned. Hallelujah!!

I am forever grateful to my hubby, dad, Mia and Lola for allowing me to do this again.  Victoria loves spending time with all of you.  I know I am never missed when you are around.
