2-Week Workout plan & Additional DietBet

First off - the good news - I lost 2 pounds!!!  YAY!

I'm also considering and most likely will join an additional Diet Bet that starts 3 Sep.  It's hosted by Bruce Pitcher, who lost an AMAZING amount of weight on Extreme Makeover Weightloss Edition.  The pot is almost $30,000 right now, so I'm looking forward to it.  Besides, there's only a week overlap between the two challenges, so it'll keep me on my toes.  Hey and everyone is invited!!  So, what are you waiting for?!?!?  Check it out… Get Pumped and Lose Big with Bruce

Today, I drew up a two week plan for workouts.  I haven't really been planning those lately, instead, I've just focused on getting in at least 30 minutes of walking or some type of cardio.  With the Diet Bet challenge approaching, I figured I need a plan.  So… here it is.

What do you think?  Too ambitious?  Too lax?  Well, I'm hoping it's just right.  

But of course, as SOON as I finish making this plan and stand back to admire my work, here comes the monkey wrench.  What this plan doesn't show is 'when' I was planning on doing all that stuff.  It was supposed to be scattered throughout the day, and on Tuesday mornings, I usually can go to work late and get the workout in early, but I just found out I have to go in to work early tomorrow - Uggh!  Well, looks like I'll be scheduling it later in the day - 12-hr shifts just don't leave much time to work with, ya know?  Anyway, I won't let that derail me though.  I'll just press on and do the best I can with what I have.

What do I have though is this plan all laid out in a not-so-fancy Excel spreadsheet so it looks more like a calendar - I just can't get the formatting with this blog tool.  But, hey, if you'd like a copy in excel - completely editable for your own workout plans, just leave a comment or email and I'll hook you up.    

That brings me to today…

FITNESS
walked 30 minutes
resistance tube workout
squat challenge day 7

FOOD
Breakfast:
Honey Nut Cheerios w/2% milk plus fresh blackberries

Lunch:
Lean Cuisine Orange Chicken

Dinner:
Wendy's burger, fries & tea with a leftover b-day cupcake and a couple tablespoons of ice cream.  (womp womp whooommp)

Snacks:
Handful of Planters peanuts
Quaker's Chewy Granola bar

Not to worry though!! We are almost out of b-day cupcakes!  Did I mention it's also my daughter's b-day (the big 18!).  We bought 4 vanilla and 4 chocolate cupcakes to avoid the extreme cake leftovers. Only three left and I'm hoping the kids will polish them off while I'm at work tomorrow.  With all the birthdays this weekend, neither grocery shopping and nor meal planning happened.  Sooooo, guess what I'm doing after work tomorrow (after my work out of course)?  

Finally, here's a pic from this Saturday at the beach.  It was a bit overcast, so we just walked for about 30 minutes…


Have a great week!
