Back To It
We celebrated very-late-Easter last weekend, as our teenagers were away over actual Easter. Our dear friend who happens to be a rabbi is always thrilled when lambie cake falls after Passover. I did a big Easter goody clean out, shoving it out the door with friends, but quite a bit remains. I mean, I can't deep six my kids' candy, can I? Unless it starts getting me in trouble.
Today Is The Day when my DH and I are sworn to get back with our Five Factor workouts (5 minutes cardio, 10 minutes weights, 5 minutes core, another 5 minutes cardio, 5 days a week-- catchy or what?) Which we did. Although I was weak as a kitten. If I tried to lift one of Greta’s kettle-bells it would smash me flat. I was flailing around with 10 pound weights, but tap squats are tap squats, right? My core is in pretty good shape, if I do say it, compliments of Zumba.
I am also planning to woman up and come up with a Tom Venuto-style food plan, which involves (1) journaling out what you're going to eat and then (2) eating it. Novel idea. Something (we hope) in the range of 1600-1800 calories, 30/40/30. I am about 5 weeks out from my 1 year blogversary. It would be nice to see a bit more progress by then. I am also following along with Jen’s 30-in-30 Challenge: 30 minutes of exercise a day, 30 days. Good for Day 1 with an Appalachian Trail walk with a friend this morning and 5-Factor this evening.
Check out Tom Venuto. Anybody else read his stuff? What do you think?

I'll have to check out Tom Venuta. Don't know anything about it. Happy late easter. You're a stronger person than me if you can keep the candy in the house ;-)
ReplyDeleteWow, you've got a lot going on girl! Way to challenge yourself!I like the 5 factor workout idea.
ReplyDeleteGonna check Tom out...hadn't heard of him till now.
I have never heard of Tom either. I'll have to check him out.
ReplyDeleteThe name Tom Venuto is familiar to me, but I'm not sure why. Off to check him out, right after I offer kudos on re-starting your workout plan!
