Christmas Challenge Busted! Trying Shape’s 10 Pound Meltdown Challenge.
Posted by: Natasha in Bodybuilding, Fitness tipsOkay… I busted my Christmas challenge already. Darn it! I have been on it since Thanksgiving and not losing jack, but maintaining my weight through this season which I am happy with compared to last year when the weight started to move up to the 170’s. This year my weight is at 163.5 and I am not going to complain. I just want to enjoy myself this holiday without the stress. So I said to myself, “I will eat in moderation and enjoy myself, but I will continue to exercise and lift to maintain until the New Year. Then I will get my act together seriously and get LEAN for summer as planned.
I found a great article in Shape magazine on called “Get your Leanest Body ever and lose 10 pounds in a month”. I am down with that!! They set up a fitness routine to challenge your muscles each day to avoid plateaus, which I hate, with 300 minutes of cardio and 2 or 3 strength sessions a week and follow “The 100% satisfaction diet too. Now the diet part I have done pack I just need the cardio. So I am excited to have a plan together to get started. I found this plan in the January 2008 issue on pages 117 and up.
If any of you are up for the challenge join me! I will be starting it officially on New Years day (Tuesday), but you know that I will have to sneak in a few moves before then to get the routine ready mentally.
Today was okay. I went into work and it was busy as hell. Not much coverage in our department which really sucked, but what can you do. I got home and wanted to exercise, but my son missed me so much so I decided to take the day off and play. He is so cute with his new conversations he is starting to have now. I love it!! And, he is still asking about Christmas too. I swear I am going to go crazy, but he is 4 and has no concept of time. Well, in a bit I am going to review the workout plan on shape.com and get ready for some action.
I hope that you all had a great day and that you are finished with you Christmas shopping too.
Chat later!
