August 2009: Back on the Wagon

Now that the majority of my summer obligations are out of the way, most of my traveling and visiting is over with, it is time to look forward to my goals for the rest of the year. First stop, August 31.

What do I want to accomplish between 8/1 - 8/31?

Stay within my maintenance calorie range with clean foods
8 yoga sessions (classes or at home, doesnt matter)
1 meditation class
16 hrs of strength training
150+ miles ran (~25hrs)

How will I accomplish it?
Break it down:

Preplan crockpot vegitarian meals
ST (1 hr sessions): Mon, Wed, Thurs, 1 weekend day
Cardio: Follow mileage buildup plan - 5 day week
Yoga: class wed & 1 during weekend
Meditation pick up one of the classes offered this month (Wed, 8/5 or workshop 8/23)

P90X New Plan for Phase II

Logging here, logging there, logging everywhere...Is NOT working for me - because then I just do not log anywhere. I have decided to spend more time logging, less time on the boards, and I am going to log everything ON SPARK.

My plan is to place my weekly planned blog here, on my fitness blog, and my weekly wrap-up will also go here. I will post my daily log on spark to make my deficit/surplus calorie counting easier at the end of the week :)

Saturday July 3rd long run: 7 mi., 76 degrees. minimal food (1/2 clif builder, 1/2 coffee, hammer bar after 4 miles w/ 8oz TL2G Energy drink for the last 2.5 mi.)

Body felt good. I'm still a little slower than Jeanine, but I didn't feel bad or need to stop this morning (no emergencies today!) but we did break after 4.5 mi for a few minutes.

I have not been doing my yoga and I can tell a difference in the amt of aches and pains that I am having (esp my lower back). So I am going to try to pick up a yoga class on Wed & Sun for the rest of my training. I'll need new shoes soon. My thin socks are doing well right now. My thicker ones rubs horrible calluses. I like my running skirt and plan to get another one.

So here goes the new plan for this week!
