Move To Lose Spring Challenge - Get Your Sexy Back!

Happy Monday Everyone 

Wow, what a great response we got this weekend with our Get Your Sexy Back Spring Challenge.  I am so thrilled we are all going to help each other, stay motivated, learn new things and not to mention looking and feeling great come Spring... 

Today is a cardio day for me...I did 3 miles on the treadmill, at an incline of 8.  Tonight I will be doing another round of cardio on the bag.  For those of you that don't know, boxing is not just hitting a bag for an hour.  You warm up with mountain climbs, running in place, sit ups, push ups, bicycles and such.  Then you do 3 min rounds on the bag and then you hit the ground and do the above sit ups, push ups etc. again.  You do this for an hour.  YEP, you die.....oxygen please 

To make this challenge a success for us all, Please check out some of the suggestions below to STAY ON TRACK with this challenge.....

Goals... 

Be detailed about your goals in this challenge.  Don't say I want to lose weight.  Say I want to lose X number of lbs or a certain percent of body fat in X number of days. 

Take your measurements, body fat and or the number on the scale (if you are doing the scale hell challenge put that scale down).  These are a great way to measure your success 

Be Flexible.  Check your goals half way through and if you are way off, don't beat yourself up, just adjust!!!! 

Make your goal realistic.  You are not going to have a six pack in 30 days, or lose 30 pounds in 30 days...  

If you have gotten away from writing in a daily journal please get back to it.  Putting your goal in writing makes it real, accountable and keeps you on track.  Write down your workout daily along with your food. 

Find a workout partner such as a neighbor, co-worker or family member.  When you have someone else to work out with you can't say Not Today! 

Reward Yourself... plan on rewarding yourself for staying on track and accomplishing your goals.  I am going to put a few dollars in a workout jar every week I do my workouts and eat right.  At the end of the 8 weeks I want to go out and buy a rockin Bathing suit or new workout outfit!   

Let's get this party started!!  Did You Move To Lose Today?  Let us know what you did today for your workout.  Also, share with us your goals and rewards.... 

Take care,
Kathy

Hey Kathy!  The boxing routine sounds like it would whip my butt!  I admire you for doing it.

I did a 2 mile walking DVD (Leslie Sansone's Walk Fit) this morning and will go to Curves tonight after work.  Haven't been to Curves in over 4 months!  Me bad....I know!

My goal for this challenge is to lose 10 pounds and/or one dress size.  This morning the scale was at 176 pounds.  I'd love to get back into my size 12 clothes (currently a 14).  I forgot to take my measurements today so will have to do that tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks for starting this challenge to encourage us to step it back up!!  Take care!

Hi Mary Ellen,

So glad to see  you here...  Now just so you know, this was when I was in PEAK condition.  I will have to do like everyone else and baby steps...on the bag workout.  But WOW, it's a great feeling when you get done.

Awesome workout planned and your goal is very realistic.  I have a feeling by the time this challenge is over you will be wearing those size 12's. Be sure and monitor your food as well 

Cya tomorrow
