The Plan: April 8 - 14

Since they say hindsight is 20-20, I figure I had best learn something from last week...
Based on that, I now know I need to front load my week and set realistic goals. With that in mind, I will aim to do one run/cross train activity a day along with other activity. This means I will have a bike, treadmill, elliptical or walk a day along with other activity (such as stepper, shred, dance, hike, etc.). I hope that this will set me up for better success.

I also should have put in space for miscellaneous stuff like circuit training or shreds... or as Ellen would tell you the most important physical activity of all DANCE.
That's ok tho, that just means it was bonus!!!

As you can see, I started off with really good intentions.... and then as the week progressed, my time became less and less for training. With this in mind, I plan to learn and change up my plan for next week. I am going to make sure that I front load my week with lots of activity so that when I am in the thick of things with work and such,I know that I worked hard the rest of the week.

I also have to note I set a goal to burn 15000 calories in April
This weeks total : 1230... So I have quite aways to go...
But that's ok, gives me something to work towards.

5 weeks to go

So with less then 5 weeks to go, I have A LOT of training to do. I have not actually been for a run in WEEKS so I am really hoping that all the crosstraining I have done will have helped.
In an effort to get my butt on the treadmill, I have placed a challenge for myself in April of burning 15000 calories. So with this in mind, my fitness goals are going to be reved while aiming to maintain my wellness goals
