Hey, peeps. It's been a few days.
While I haven't been doing awful the past couple weeks in the healthy lifestyle area, I also haven't been doing great. I don't exactly need to do great, but I do need to do better.
Last week, my wedding gown arrived at the bridal shop! I have an appointment after work today to try it on. I am beyond excited, but I am also a tad nervous.
What if it doesn't fit?!?!
The size I tried on in-store was a 12, and it fit almost perfectly, just a tad tight in the hips. I played it safe, ordered up, and got a size 14.
Everything will be fine. It will fit!
But I still have that lingering thought nagging at the the back of my mind...
WHAT IF IT DOESN'T FIT!
I guess I'll find out at 6pm.
Anyway, onto something not so neurotic...
I love schedules and lists. Having everything written out, and in front of my face, makes me happy.
Last blog post, I talked about making little daily fitness and chore goals. That went really well, but I feel like I'm not doing enough. I think that means I'm ready to move onto some bigger goals.
Today, I devised a new weekly schedule for myself that will help me get back into running, and reach my goals of toning up some areas, like my arms and back, before my wedding in June.
This new weekly schedule isn't only fitness focused, it's also at-home chore focused.
I added daily chores because I'm tired of letting things, like dishes, build up throughout the week, and then having to spend my Saturday morning cleaning the house. If i just do a little bit each day, I can spend more time relaxing and doing stuff that is more fun than cleaning on the weekends.
Each day on my weekly schedule is broken into three categories: strength, cardio, and home.
I already have specific workouts and chores selected for each day. I'll follow this schedule for a week or two, and if I start getting bored, I'll change it up.
Here it is:
I have the various strength workouts pinned on my Running! Pinterest board, follow me by clicking HERE if you'd like.
As for running, I am going to ease back into it by starting the Couch-to-5k program. I have not run since November, and I do not want to get discouraged by attempting to do too much, too soon.
Once I get a solid running base started, I'll look into devising a half marathon training plan.
I like starting schedules at the beginning of the week, hence this one starting with Monday, but I'm jumping into this one today! I will start today, and will have my first run in months, tomorrow!
Wish me luck!
