1. gain some muscle and loose body fat and get into size 6 jeans by july 4th. now i'm coming from a 10 and the 8's are lose so that is good.
2. eat during the day. sometimes i don't want to be bothered with eating, it just feels like a hastle to stop what i'm doing for the sake of food. but i know if i don't eat my metabolism will tank, so eating at least 3 meals a day is a good start. and a bowl of ice cream is not considered "dinner". breakfast by 9am, lunch by 1, and dinner by 6pm, add 2 small snacks if i get hungry (which would be great if i got hungry)
3. drink water. so far i've really made alot of changes. i don't drink, don't smoke, reduced coffee, and generally keep it pretty clean. but water is the thing that cells need, and i could use more of it. 6 glasses a day, or 2 SIG bottles.
4. feel positive, not negative because i'm not racing. also feel positive about other things in my life. working out 4-5 times a week is a great starter goal, and just because "this time last year i was riding 100's" doesn't mean i'm a slacker or a loser. similarly, running 2 businesses requires alot of balance, so the 80/20 rule is a good one to remember. i need to keep it real and remember that i'm busting my rump and have lots to celebrate. everyday say prayers of gratitude and ask for "help" on what i'm trying to do.
5. make time to go to the gym twice a week, and workout 4-5 times a week. and sit in the steam room because it's good for stress. so, 2 of the 4-5 workouts need to be at the gym. this is a nice "get away" for me and offers an environment of lots of exercise options. it's a good thing. 2 times a week at the gym, and 2-3 times a home or on a trail. sit in steam room 2 times a week.
6. train jess for her big hiking trip. training her trains me, plus we get to hang out. this will be a part of #5 for the 2 times at the gym, this is something i can do with a partner which will make it even more rewarding. workout with jess 2 times a week at the gym, or on a hiking trail.
